About me and my therapy practice
From time to time people experience situations when they are not coping as well as they usually do. This can be the result of a life event, past or present. such as abuse, anxiety, bereavement, redundancy, divorce/separation, retirement, or relationship difficulties. Or you may generally be feeling low or depressed.
In my approach I provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment to explore your difficulty or to build on your strengths to create the changes you need.
These issues may be to do with the present or sometimes more to do with past difficult experiences that may stem from childhood. Counselling can help you look at these issues with new perspectives.
I can help you with your difficulties by offering a supportive, friendly and relaxed environment.
My specialist area adults who suffer from anxiety and depression and working with teenagers and young people on a variety of issues including abuse, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I also work with people who have ADHD symptoms.
I have a range of tools including working creatively, IFS and compassionate enquiry to aid the work I do with clients.

My first session
The first session allows us to get to know each other and if we feel we can work together.
