I currently work on a Wednesday and I can offer flexibility during the morning, afternoon and evening.

I also have availability on a Tuesday evening.

People often wonder if their issues are important enough to seek counselling. I believe that if you are feeling overwhelmed and your emotions are bothering you then it is right for you to get help.

The time that you spend in counselling will enable you to make sense of the feelings that control you. It will help you to gain understanding of the basic emotions and to learn coping mechanisms, so it does not feel like a struggle to put one foot in front of the other to move forward.

As human beings we understand how important relationships and our emotions connect us to each other and the benefit that it brings us. When we experience distress, confusion, isolation, or other negative feelings, then being able to explore this in a supportive, non-judgemental relationship can help. I will work alongside you to build a trusting relationship whilst working to your needs, at your pace and from your perspective. I will endeavour to create a warm and empathic space. Whether you would like to explore the past, the future, or the here and now, I will listen to you and help you find a way for change.

I offer a free 20 to 30 minute initial consultation on the phone. Following on from this, you can decide if you would like to work together. It is vital to me that you are completely happy for us to work together to resolve all issues that may arise.

If we decide to commence counselling, the sessions are 50 minutes in length. Our counselling is not time limited. I will work with you until you feel you have benefitted, and you are ready to end working together. I will regularly review our work to ensure counselling meets your needs.

I currently only offer telephone counselling.

I am a person-centred counsellor which means that you will be my prime focus. I believe connection with others is an incredible resource. I will support you so that you understand yourself and are able to have the means and coping mechanisms to feel able to connect in ways which are more emotionally engaging. We will always work in a confidential and supportive setting.
