I currently have availability on Monday afternoons/early evening and on Fridays.

Do you sometimes feel unheard or unseen? Are you struggling with the demands of daily life, feeling stressed and need a safe confidential space to talk to someone?

Using talk therapy, we can work together to unlock some of the feelings you have. If you are unsure of how you feel, then we can take a step back and I can listen. I can help you to find space to breathe, to find your strength and the confidence to deal with whatever has brought you to counselling.

You might be interested to know that I have worked professionally in the private sector for 25 years in a HR and Careers capacity before I went back to university and studied Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have since been practicing as a Counsellor for three years. 

I have found the experience of working with people and supporting them over the years has helped to give me more of an insight into the variety of life pressures we all experience such as:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Change

• Work/life balance

• Bereavement

• Loss

• Feeling overwhelmed with what life can throw at us.

• Relationship problems

• Money worries

• Family problems

• Fertility problems

• Menopause

• Identity/difference

I understand that life can really change at a moment’s notice. Often, we feel capable one minute, but the next we are left feeling unsure, overwhelmed, confused, weighed down and not sure who to confide in.

Working as a Counsellor I am empathetic, calm, a good listener and I offer a space for you to talk about whatever you feel is most pressing. You might not know where to start and that’s ok too. There’s no expectation on my part. It’s your space and your time to reflect, to talk through your concerns, emotions, feelings or to simply have a private conversation with someone who doesn’t know your friends or family and won’t judge. I will do my best to listen and understand you.
