I am currently have availability within my practice.  I work Tuesdays to Thursdays 2.15pm to 7.15 pm.

This summer I will be away from the 3rd August to the 19th August 2025 

Are you looking for a counsellor, either for yourself, relative or friend who is warm, friendly and professional? Then hopefully I am the right counsellor for you. I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space in which a client, at their own pace, can begin to explore the issues that are causing them pain.

I work with adults and young people in private practice in Hitchin, Tuesdays to Fridays from 2.15 pm to 6.15pm. 

I know from personal experience how transformative counselling can be, but it can also be daunting to know which is the right counsellor for you which is why I offer a free 50-minute counselling session so you can meet me, see if you like me and feel you can talk to me.

If you are interested in finding out more about me give me a call on 07758 440704 or email me so I can answer any questions you have and perhaps set up an initial meeting.

I was trained to be an ‘Integrative Counsellor’ which means I draw upon many different approaches when I work with a client.  This means I don’t go down the rabbit hole of attempted to impose ‘Jungian thinking’ on a client who would benefit more from a ‘Behavioural Approach’.

It is hard to be 'expert' in lots of different approaches so I tend to  concentrate on:  

• Sigmund Freud, Psychodynamic Theory

• Carl Rogers, Person Centred Theory

and the relatively new science of Neuropsychology 

but will bring in different approaches to suit a particular client. 

I know from personal experience how transformative counselling can be, but it can also be daunting to know which is the right counsellor for you which is why I offer a free 50-minute counselling session so you can meet me, see if you like me and feel you can talk to me.

I work hard to be a good counsellor, and I have a good success rate but sometimes I am not the right counsellor for a particular client. On those occasions, I will help you find the right person for you, if you want me to. I don’t charge for this service.
