About me and my therapy practice
In these difficult times I offer a warm, safe, confidential environment for you to share what is deeply troubling for you. I am currently offering face to face and online sessions. I am empathic, genuine, non-judgemental, reliable, resilient and here for you. I can help you find purpose, meaning and direction in your life. I can support the healing process from loss, unwanted change, fear and anxiety. I am a fully qualified psychotherapist with a BA (Hons) & Masters Degree in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and I am an accredited member of the BACP. I am fully insured and have an advanced DBS check. I offer support and care to young adults 13+ , adults & couples. I am flexible, accommodating and can offer weekend, evening and daytime appointments. Once you have made that first brave step, you will not look back. Counselling changes lives. Your story matters because YOU matter. Parking available. Easy access to A3 & M25 and Petersfield Mainline Station is a 10 minute walk.
Practice description
My practice is private and confidential. I work out of a home office which gives an extra layer of flexibility which I can offer to clients in terms of session times and dates. I offer a safe space in which to explore current issues which may be painful and distressing. I am central to Petersfield Town Centre and The Heath & Lake with onsite parking.
