Asking for help from a stranger can be a daunting step. Counseling can provide a safe and supportive environment in which many scary feelings can be explored and worked through.

Could you benefit from someone listening to you so that you feel truly heard?

Do you need a space to explore your thoughts and feelings and figure things out for yourself with my support?

It may be the loss of a loved one person or a pet. The feelings may be leaving you overwhelmed by the loss. 

 Maybe you’re experiencing unhelpful thoughts around “not being good enough” or “feeling unable to cope”? Or are using work, shopping, exercise, food, drugs, and/or alcohol as a way of coping? 

If any of these resonate with you, you are not alone. I can offer you a warm, emphatic, safe, and non-judgmental space where we can work together so you can explore what is going on for you. Whether it is your current situation that is troubling you or something that happened to you in your past. 

You are the expert of your life I walk alongside you.

I am a fully qualified person-centered counselor working in Bedfordshire. I am fully insured and a registered member of The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists I am a  volunteer for Cruse  grief counseling and also have some years of experience in trauma (sexual and Domestic abuse 

I believe you are the expert in your life. My aim is to provide a safe non-judgemental space where we can work together to explore your thoughts and feelings. Whether it is something that you are presently going through or a past event. 

I work face-to-face, online, and on the telephone. The sessions are fifty minutes long. The sessions start at the agreed time and end with me letting you know we have ten minutes left. We will agree on the summary of the session and will both sign agreement of these.  Your notes are brief and your identity will be anonymous. Notes are stored away safely in a locked file. 

I follow the policy on Data Protection. 

The first session is an information-gathering session.  This allows me to get a better understanding of your difficulties.  It also allows you to get to know me and how I work and provides an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have. 

There is no obligation to book a follow-up appointment.  I prefer that you process our session and come to a decision without feeling pressured.
