If you are looking for a safe space where you can bring what you would like, then you will find it here. I believe that people are the experts on themselves however, at times it can be useful to work alongside someone else in order to gain clarity, to feel heard or make changes to experience growth.

I value the importance of the body and mind in the work we do.

There are many reasons why it may be helpful to have counselling and I feel it is a privilege to work alongside people as they explore what is going on for them. I have a background in health care for over twenty years. I know that it can be daunting to meet someone new, but I am used to working with people from all walks of life and often in high stress situations. I work in a way that is non-judgmental, warm, and empathetic with an awareness that the relationship between the counsellor and client is the vital factor underpinning the work we do.

I work online and also offer face to face sessions on a Thursday. The Thursday sessions are in a health centre which is accessible. Sessions are for 50 minutes. 

I offer a free initial phone call to see how we may work together and that you feel comfortable that we would be a good fit. 

This also gives an opportunity to answer questions you may have about counselling. 

Usually prior to our first session I will send out a contract but in the first session will go through that and how I work.
