Hello and welcome.

I offer 1-2-1 therapy sessions in persons or online.

I usually see children in person in my cosy office where I have a sandplay tray, pencils, colouring in pens, paper and many, many objects.

I am an Integrative counseller and tend to use person centred techniques with all ages. Whether you are 7 or 77 or older or younger than that, i' m equally fine with that.

Usually I first tell you about how I work and what you can expect from me and from counselling.

I have lots of experience with the following issues:

Addiction

Anxiety

Autism

Depression

Eating issues

Mild learning difficulties 

Work related issues

Just to name a few ( see the list below for more expertise).

If you are facing one or more of the above issues, I am aware you are in need of counselling. 

Please feel free to ask me questions about my counselling by email or telephone text or call me.

Hello,

When we start our session  I ll make sure you feel welcome by telling you what to expect from counselling with me.

I offer a range of different therapies and seek put what works best with you as an individual. 

If you feel lonely and things need to change in your life, but you don't know where to start, you ve come to the right address.

Or maybe you feel that you've got to let things go? Or you want to find something new? But it doesn't feel right and you need to talk things through. Maybe you feel stuck and you ve been there for too long?

Yes , you need a change.

Then come to me.

In your first session with me we just talk things through what has been going on for you.

No pressure, no longwinded forms.

Just come as you are and we go from there.
