Relationships and life can sometimes be challenging! If you are thinking about seeing a counsellor, this can feel like a huge step to take and finding the right counsellor can also feel daunting to know where to start. Sometimes we may not feel heard or understood and having a counsellor provides a space to feel less alone with your struggles and more emotionally supported, which can make a real difference to your life.

I recognise that your experience of what you are facing is unique to you and as a Person-Centred counselling for depression (PCE-CfD) and an integrative counsellor, I am able to help you stop, explore and listen to your emotions to understand what they are telling you and in turn what you may need in your life at present. Whatever it is that brings you to counselling I will work alongside you, helping you explore your thoughts and feelings. During the sessions I aim to work with you to help you achieve the outcomes you wish and to move forward with confidence and belief.

I am trained as a Person-Centred counselling for depression (PCE-CfD) counsellor which simply means that I am able to help you explore your experiences, emotions, thoughts and bodily responses to understand and process all of these in order to feel better able to cope with what life throws at you. Whilst the different types of counselling are important, the thing that really matters is the relationship between us as this is where the real opportunity for change, growth and healing can take place. It is my role to create the right environment for you to feel able to share and work through whatever challenges or difficulties you are facing. My aim is to help you to feel at ease, and be able to talk openly, often the first step in being able to then work towards your desired outcome.

I have over 18 years working in NHS Talking therapies services as a PCE-CfD counsellor, supervisor and couples therapy for depression practitioner.

I’m a fully qualified, BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist and I adhere to their Code of Ethics which support high professional standards.

From personal experience, I know that choosing to open up and be vulnerable takes courage, so it’s my goal to help you feel as comfortable and safe as possible from the moment we first speak.

I offer a free, no obligation, 15-minute phone or online introductory session to make sure we are comfortable to work together. I understand that seeking therapy can be a big step and you may feel anxious, and I hope by having a chat it will reduce any concerns you may have.  

I have worked as a Person-Centred Counselling for depression supervisor for  over 2 years supporting NHS practitioners in PCE-CfD both trainees and qualified practitioners and students on the NHS pilot in PCE-CfD through Metanoia institute.

I am able to offer support and offer concessionary rates if needed.
