Due to COVID-19 I am currently offering sessions by zoom. 

Whatever you’re feeling, whether overwhelmed, low or anxious, experiencing relationship or family difficulties, finding work stressful, feeling lonely, have lost someone you love or are experiencing ill health, counselling can help. I know it can feel daunting to start therapy, so my aim from the beginning is to offer a safe, non-judgemental, warm, caring space, where we can explore whatever you want to talk about, and where you will be listened to, valued and accepted. Through the therapeutic relationship that we develop, I hope to help you gain insight and understanding into the difficulties and challenges that you are facing, perhaps finding new ways of thinking or behaving, or new ways of relating to people and the world.

I am a person-centred counsellor and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and BPS (British Psychological Society), with my counselling strengthened and supported by knowledge of psychology and an interest in research. I have a wealth of life and work experience including a grown up family, and experience in bereavement, domestic abuse, homelessness and social services, working with adults and older adults.

Our first session will be a free 30 minute assessment, where I can check that I have the skills to work with you, and refer you to other services if I don’t feel I can help.  Finding the right therapist is important, and this session is also so you can decide if you would like us to work together - there is no obligation to continue beyond this first session, and during therapy you can stop at any stage.
