I specialise in working with people who are experiencing anxiety disorders, agoraphobia, stress, trauma, and depression. Also personal/social/workplace relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self esteem/confidence and performance management.

I will provide a safe and secure confidential space for you to  explore your feelings whilst enabling you to learn techniques to gain back control of your well-being.

I am qualified to offer online, telephone and face to face counselling. I also work in a pluralistic way, which means I will work collaboratively with you to establish the most effective and efficient way to help you.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

In my studies I have specialised in Person Centred Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also work with art and linguistics to encourage you to explore and express yourself more freely. 

Currently due to the restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic I will be providing counselling sessions via Zoom, Skype, telephone or email. 

For the first session I offer a free 30 minute consultation, This will be an opportunity to establish if you feel comfortable proceeding with therapy sessions with me.
