You are unsure how you feel about your identity, sense of purpose or close relationships but the thought of confiding in people that you know feels impossible.

You are also considering counselling because the thought of shouldering the burden of uncertainty alone feels frightening and exhausting.

As a person centred counsellor, I would like to offer you a safe, confidential space in which to find your voice as you begin to talk about those things that trouble you most.

As your counsellor, I will support you as you work to understand and resolve your challenges and will offer you gentleness, warmth and acceptance rather than advice and direction.

As a bereavement counsellor, I have experience of supporting those coming to terms with loss and the impact that loss can have on how we feel about ourselves and those around us. I have also worked with those who have experience of abuse in childhood. Open to working with all clients, I am particularly committed to supporting men to access counselling as you seek to improve your mental health.

Before qualifying as a counsellor, I worked in education and have extensive experience of supporting young people and their families. More recently, I have worked in adult social care, supporting adults with a range of learning difficulties such as 'autism spectrum condition'.

I work from a comfortable, quiet and discreet counselling room in the heart of Ormskirk. My counselling room is five minutes walk from the centre of Ormskirk and there is ample parking nearby.
