I have daytime and some evening appointments most weekdays although no availability at weekends.

Deciding to start counselling can be daunting, so I aim to ensure that I provide a safe, warm and welcoming space where you can discuss any issues that are concerning you. 

Whether you are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or just a sense that something isn't quite right, we can work together to establish how best to tackle it. Sometimes that will involve exploring your relationships, past history or even some theory about patterns you may have noticed in your life. 

I work in a collaborative way and together we aim to establish a way through the challenges you are facing and find a route to feeling better. This journey can be as long or as short as you need it to be and we will review how its going along the way.

Although, it can be daunting to start and hard work at times, counselling can be enlightening, empowering and enable you to make changes or improve your overall confidence and wellbeing.

I work predominantly in Private Practice and I offer face to face or online sessions. 

I'm a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. My training is in Humanistic Counselling based on Transactional Analysis, a model of counselling which focuses on how we interact with others and how we see ourselves, others and the world around us. 

I provide a non-judgemental space and compassionate presence for you to talk about your concerns, address life's challenges and together establish how to navigate through them. 

Finding the right counsellor for you is important, so the initial appointment is an opportunity for you to assess whether you feel comfortable enough to proceed and for us both to determine whether we feel we can work together.

I also offer a free 15min phone call prior to the first appointment so that you can discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

The first session can feel daunting, but we will work at your pace and you only ever need to share what you are comfortable with. I will give you the space and time you need for trust to build.

At your first session we will look at the counselling relationship, how it works and what to expect. We will discuss your individual needs, how many sessions might be required and determine whether counselling is right for you.

If you decide to go ahead, we can then agree a regular appointment time and establish how counselling will benefit you.
