I believe that to get the most out of counselling, it is important to choose a therapist that is right for you.

For it to be successful, you will need to find someone you can connect with and feel comfortable and secure opening up to. You will need to feel you can discuss your feelings, in confidence without being judged.

Hopefully, we will have that connection which will enable you to feel secure and comfortable talking to me.  I offer a reduced rate for an initial consultation so we can meet and see how it goes.

I offer individual and couples counselling.

In addition to my private practice, I also work as a voluntary counsellor at a well established charity.

Please feel free to call or email me with any questions you may have and we can then make an appointment for an initial consultation.

Hi and welcome to my page.

It can take courage to make the first step towards having counselling. Life can be complex and sometimes we get to a point where we really can't see the woods through the trees, I can help you to work this out in a safe and comfortable setting. My training consists of many theories as everybody is different and whilst one theory might work for one person it may not suit another, this allows me to find one that can work for you. I have a special interest in working with stress and anxiety.

Maybe you are struggling with relationship or family issues, or work isn't going too well, perhaps you have health problems or have low self esteem. Counselling could help you understand these problems and work with them in a more constructive way. Sometimes we simply just get stuck at a point in our lives and don't feel happy - I could help you to see exactly what is going on, or simply give you a chance to talk and to be heard.

I offer both individual and couple counselling.

My training is Integrative which means I use several different theories, this allows me to use the style and technique best suited to you. I can offer both short and long term therapy. My Professional Advanced Diploma is accredited by the Royal College of Nursing. Being an accredited member of the National Counselling Society I abide by their code of ethics. In addition to this the National Counselling Society's register is also accredited to the Department of Heath's Accredited Voluntary Register (AVR) scheme.

I am a member of BACP and am on their register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists. 

I hold an Advanced Professional Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a Chrysalis Certificate in Counselling. 

I also hold a Diploma in Mindfulness.

I am in regular supervision and I am fully insured. I have a current Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) Enhanced Certificate.
