I understand it can be scary to take that first step to make an appointment but I doubt you will have any regrets. 

Beginning therapy can be a big step towards being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible. No matter what challenges you may be facing, through therapy you can change self-destructive behaviours and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships and more.

No-one should have to face problems alone and I would like to help you gain the tools you need to make any necessary changes to enable you to live a more fulfilling life.

Within my work I cover a range of issues including Anxiety, Depression, Bereavement, Low Self-esteem/Low Confidence.

Together we will build a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable and safe enough to explore your experiences and difficulties with me, in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.

We will work through your thoughts and feelings and through our counselling sessions you will be provided with the opportunity to gain the tools you need to encourage growth and move towards change.

I hope this website has given you a sense of what I can offer, but please do feel free to contact me for a chat on 07756 696247 if you wish to discuss anything further, or email me.

At the first session I will do a 'therapeutic assessment' with you, taking some general information and then more about how you are feeling. I will also take a little background history to give me an overview of your life experiences to-date.

This will help me decide the best way to work with you going forward, to help resolve your issues.

The individual therapeutic session is a maximum of 50 minutes and the Couples counselling/Family sessions are 1 hour long.

We will complete a Therapeutic Assessment at the first session to establish what your concerns are and see how best I can help you going forward.

I currently have availability for next week appointments.
