not available Wednesdays or Sunday’s 

I work within an integrative counselling model, which offers me the flexibility to work with you in a way which you find most helpful. This could be short term counselling, for example to help reduce anxiety or stress. It could be longer term counselling to explore past issues which are having a negative affect on your life and happiness now.

I work with my clients to form a strong working alliance between us, building trust, honesty, and mutual respect in order to provide an environment of open exploration into whatever is troubling you.

Some people find is difficult to express their feelings in words, so I often work with the transpersonal, other forms of communication. This could be using creative ways to work, for example drawing, or sand play therapy. It could be working with metaphor, or helping a client link their emotions to physical feelings. Everyone is different, so I aim to ensure each person is comfortable with the way we work together.

I work with  individual adults , and do not offer couples counselling at the moment .

I work from my therapy room at home. Easy parking on my drive or across the road . Stairs to access my room . Toilet facilities available on entrance to the house . I am also a holistic therapist , I am concerned with my client’s mind , body and spirit ,and want my room to be a relaxing space . I use fairy lights , and fragrant oils to create the therapeutic space .

With the arrival of Coronavirus, at the moment I only offer online counselling ( via Zoom or Skype)I still use my therapy room for these sessions . This offers the same ‘ feel’ for those used to coming in person , and ensures my space is confidential.

I am sensitive many of you have lost some , or all of your income due to Coronavirus. If you are in this position, I am offering very generous Concessionary rates . I will arrange this with each individual, depending on your circumstances. 

Coronavirus 

during lockdown , and social distancing , I have taken the decision to offer sessions  online or by telephone. No clients will come to my house. 

Our initial contact will be via email  please .We will either arrange a mutually convenient time for our online session ( via Skype or Zoom) or, we can arrange a mutually convenient for me to phone you.

Your session will be 40 minutes .
