Availability in Sudbury and Hadleigh

I am an experienced and fully qualified counsellor working with adults and young people.

I trained in the humanistic therapy of person centered counselling and work alongside my clients, in a non-directive way, to try and make sense of the difficulties you are encountering.  Over the years I have studied both CBT and CFT and I now integrate both those modes within my practice.

I have had many years of experience including working at a woman's refuge, as a bereavement counsellor at a local hospice and working with students and young people at sixth form colleges and youth charities.  I have a range of experience with people from all works of life and all ages.

Some of the many issues include bereavement, loss, family and relationship problems, abuse, self-harm, low self esteem and trauma.

I have a flexible way of working and will always seek to adapt and work in a way that best suits your needs.

Whether its just losing your way, becoming stuck or exploring deeper issues I will offer a safe and supportive space in which to work through any problems at your own pace and without judgement.  Building on a therapeutic working relationship based on mutual trust and understanding, I aim to give you the confidence to address change,   I have experience working with a wide range of issues and offer both long and short term counselling and counselling on zoom. 

I am happy to have an initial telephone conversation so that you can find out more about the service I offer.

The first session is usually an assessment session.  It is a chance for us to meet in person and for you to be able to understand the way in which I work and to decide whether this is right for you. 

I will ask you to fill in a short contract.
