About me and my therapy practice

When did you last really feel listened to? I'm an integrative counsellor, meaning I am able to adapt to your unique needs and show sensitivity towards your inner timing, guided by you and not by technique. I work flexibly and dynamically, you will always be at the centre of our work together and I'll provide a warm and compassionate presence. I've counselled staff at an NHS hospital, young people at a local college and private clients.  I have had experience of many issues that might lead to feelings of anxiety or depression. Relationship, family, work, health, addiction (including drink, drugs, food, gambling, sex). Challenges can arise from feeling out of balance, confused or overwhelmed. Sometimes things beyond our control in the outside world can add to a sense of pressure or hopelessness or you might be going through a bereavement or loss. I welcome you to take the first step, come and meet with me for a free initial session and we can discover if we might go on to work together.
