About me and my therapy practice

You can expect a safe, supportive, and challenging therapeutic environment in which it is my hope you will experience acceptance, understanding, and genuineness to facilitate insight and understanding that can lead to change.

Practice description

Usually I work face to face in my counselling practice in Mickleover, Derby working with you as the client in a collaborative counselling relationship.   However, due to the current COVID 19 pandemic I am offering mainly online or telephone counselling. 

I believe that you have within you the strength and resources that you need to work through a particular difficulty, and find what you might do in the best way for you and others around you.   I understand that for a period of time we contract  to work together to facilitate this process for you.  My training and experience over a number of years gives me access to ways of working that can be tailored to your particular needs.
