I work long term or short term depending on your requirements and issue.  

To reach out and tell someone our innermost feelings can be a difficult and brave  thing to do, but it can help to clarify thoughts.

Therapy is not an easy process but it can be life changing and liberating. 

I shall provide a safe, non- judgemental, therapeutic environment to listen and help you to explore options and coping strategies moving forward to suit you personally. 

The therapy will proceed at your own pace, you are always in control and you can choose what to bring to the therapy sessions.  

I work as a person centred therapist, working plurastically, I tailor the therapy to suit your therapeutic needs. 

After the initial contact I shall send you my counselling agreement by email. This outlines what to expect from the counselling, confidentiality and fees etc.

Please request email package fees if email preferred.
