I’ve been a counsellor since 2010, and clients say they find me friendly, kind and easy to talk to. My way of working is flexible, informal and collaborative - I work together with my clients to help them find ways forward which bring more contentment and peace. 

I don’t see clients as being ‘mentally ill’, I think in terms of the whole person and their physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing and psychological wellbeing. I see all those as being completely connected, and my focus as a counsellor is to help you to improve your emotional and psychological wellbeing, so you can be more resilient and better able to cope with life’s challenges. For me, each client is a unique person doing what they can to cope with thoughts and feelings, maybe to do with tough experiences or situations in their lives.

I work in a very flexible way because I want counselling to be as do-able and hassle-free as it can be. If you don’t want the traditional ‘every week, same day, same time’ way, I completely get that. My clients can fit their sessions around work, shifts, appointments or child care. My diary is online and sessions can be booked, rearranged or cancelled (at least 24 hours ahead) whenever suits you. You can book one at a time or plan ahead and book a few so you get the times that work best for you. You can book phone sessions (handy if you’re not sure where you’ll be, you only need a quiet and private space), or video sessions (if you’d prefer to ‘meet’ face to face, and you know you’ll have a suitable space), or you can mix and match.

I particularly specialise in working with clients who bring these issues:

anxiety, panic attacks and stress.

insomnia.

living with sight loss.

living with cancer.

Other issues I often work with include:

change and transition, such as separation or redundancy

bereavement and other kinds of loss, such as the end of a relationship.

feelings of low mood, or depression.

personal, family and professional relationships (only one to one counselling).

confidence and self-esteem.

I also work with many other difficulties which might lead you to consider counselling or therapy.
