Currently availability in person or online (Zoom).

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor working with individuals and couples. My approach is warm, friendly and collaborative; working together with you and adapting the sessions to meet your individual needs.

There are many reasons people seek counselling support – maybe you are struggling with relationship difficulties - maybe you are feeing anxious or depressed – perhaps you are dealing with a significant change in life circumstances – a relationship breakdown or a bereavement. Or perhaps issues from your childhood are affecting your sense of wellbeing now. Whatever it is you are struggling with, I aim to provide a safe confidential space for you to share and explore your thoughts and feelings.  

For me, the client-counsellor relationship is at the heart of the counselling process and I base my work on developing a relationship of deep understanding, acceptance and empathy. Within this supportive, non-judgemental space, my hope is that you are able to explore your thoughts and feelings, reconnect with your inner values and sense of self enabling you to move forward and progress.

My counselling style is relational and person-centred, and I believe that you will find your own solutions at your own pace given the right therapeutic conditions. My training is ‘integrative’ meaning I draw on different theories and techniques in order to support you through the counselling process and tailor the sessions to meet your individual needs.  

Introductory session to meet with you to and discuss what you’re hoping for from the counselling process. An opportunity for you to to ask me any questions and make sure I am the right counsellor for you at this time.
