Thank you for viewing my profile. I’m an experienced, registered & BACP accredited Person Centred Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I work with Adults & have a wealth of experience & expertise working Young People (adolescents). I help people to understand, manage & overcome whatever the issue is that has brought them to counselling or into therapy. I follow a humanistic approach exploring the whole person, encouraging self-awareness, self-exploration & self-fulfilment. I have extensive experience in working both short term & long term.

I specialise in working with clients that have experienced Trauma & Abuse, as well as with clients suffering with Mental Health issues such as anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, self-harm & dissociative identity disorder (DID). I have a proactive approach to therapy which incorporates, when relevant, psycho-education & teaching specific skills/techniques to help clients manage symptoms of their distress whilst offering genuine acceptance,empathy & a non-judgemental approach to ensure clients feel safe to explore what is going on for them right now. I work with clients from 11 years through to adults, & where appropriate or requested, client’s families.

I work from a Private & tranquil purpose-built counselling room on the outskirts of Norwich with ample free parking. I regularly monitor progress to ensure that counselling is effective & beneficial for each client. I regularly attend Continuing Professional Development Training to keep up to date with the latest research outcomes & therapeutic interventions to give my clients the most effective therapy that I can offer.

I know how important it is to find the right counsellor which is why I offer the initial/assessment session (up to 1 hour) for £20 so that you can decide if what I offer feels right for you.
