As an integrative counsellor, I am able to utilise interventions from many different schools of counselling, to best meet the individual needs of each unique client. I do not believe that one style suits all. I empower the client by using techniques and strategies, appropriate to the clients issues, which build into a definable framework that the client can use whilst in therapy, and afterwards, to maintain or continue to build upon their resilience and progression. This way of working tends to break or reduce the incidents of clients being unable to maintain progress after therapy has finished and having to keep returning to therapy. I work with all clients and welcome referrals from GP's, health care professionals, Companies or individuals. If you have had lots of therapy and want to break the cycle or perhaps are skeptical about how counselling could help you, give me a call. Whatever issues or problems you wish to overcome, you can be assured of a confidential, non-judgemental, specifically tailored counselling approach and a warm welcome. I always endeavor to hold a few appointments for anyone who may need subsidised rates.

I have been counselling adults since 2006 and between 2013 and 2022, I was employed as a youth counsellor working with 11-18yr olds, within a local charity as part of the CAMHS provision for Norfolk. 

I trained as a Dementia Counsellor for a national mental health charity.

Internet and telephone sessions allow me to work both Nationally and internationally, and I currently have clients in the USA and Europe.

I do a lot of work with Norfolk LGBT+ project, EAP work, Local employers and private clients.

My private practice is located in a purpose built cabin at my home in Oulton Broad, Lowestoft, where I offer integrative counselling to adults and adolescents. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues such as; rape & abuse, Trauma, self harm, addictions, depression, stress, relationship issues, panic attacks, phobias and many other debilitating issues.  I am currently integrating DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting) into my practice and that will be followed by PolyVagal Theory, for Trauma clients that other therapies have only been partly successful.

 There is a regular local bus service which stops nearby and ample parking for clients who drive.
