Email meAbout me
I have been providing a professional counselling service for over twenty years, and having had a rich experience of life and the challenges it can bring to bear on your mental health, I have some insight as to what so many of us go through.
I have counselled many hundreds of individuals and couples, providing a safe space to talk and work through the emotional issues and health problems life can present.
Alongside my private practice I have been running Surrey’s biggest independent mental health charity since the end of the 90's, and have amassed a great deal of experience in helping adults who have mental health problems.
I aim to work with a small number of people providing them with honesty, where appropriate - challenge, alongside support and empathy.
“Now you have read all this you are hopefully one step closer to seeking the help you need, if
you have any questions prior to making an appointment please feel free to call or email me.
Otherwise, I would be happy to book a preliminary session for you to discover if this is the right course of action for you"
