I am taking on new clients and am available for online or face-to-face sessions. 

Please get in touch to discuss availabilities. 

Maybe you are fed up with constantly feeling tired, worried, or thinking no matter what you do you still feel the same?

Or maybe you recognise a behaviour or pattern that's holding you back in your career or personal life? Perhaps it's affecting your relationships with the people you care most about? You might be feeling disconnected from who you are?

Are you feeling bereft because you have lost someone or something close to your heart? A change in circumstance maybe?

People seek counselling for different reasons and every reason is valid.

At some point in our lives we might be confronted with situations and emotions that we cannot make sense of. When we experience times like this, having somebody to listen to you empathically and non-judgementally, offering you a safe space where you can explore these feelings might be just what is needed.

About me and my therapy practice

Drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to assist you in your healing journey. Tailoring therapy to your individual needs and preferences as I am seeing every therapeutic encounter as unique.

Empathising the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space, acceptance, trust. 

How can I help you?

By teaching you some practical tools that you can use to reduce the pain, anxiety, stress and worry you're feeling.

Doing something for yourself every day is the most important thing, no matter how big or small.

Peeling back layer after layer together we will find out what it is that's causing you to feel the way you do. Once we found the reason you and I can address the problem and change how you feel and create new habits. Making positive changes in your life is rewarding but challenging.

Why not give me a call, text or email me for a free 15 minute initial consultation to find out if I could be that somebody who can offer what feels right for you.

I am an experienced counsellor offering a safe, confidential space in which to explore your issues in an empathic and non-judgemental manner.

Alongside my private practice I work as a Counsellor at Minchinhampton Surgery.

I am DBS checked and undertake regular CPD to inform my practise and further develop myself.

Helping clients with a variety of different issues, including but not exhaustive:

Anxiety and stress, low self-esteem and lack of confidence, work related issues, depression and low mood, panic attacks, grief and loss, symptoms related to trauma.

These are just some examples of why people seek counselling. I welcome anyone who feels that things are not right in their world.

I can see you either online or face to face from a room in Nailsworth, with parking nearby.

Coming to therapy can be a daunting experience and one that takes courage to make the first step. Our first session will take the form of an assessment – giving you the time and space to discuss the issues you face as well as your wishes and hopes for counselling.

We will also use this time to look at and discuss the therapeutic contract which will underpin our working together. Should you decide to continue working with me.
