Struggling to make sense of things or finding it difficult to cope?

Counselling can help you come to terms with things, and make real changes in your life.

I provide a warm, supportive safe space which is non-judgmental and confidential.

Whether your reasons for seeking counselling stem from past traumas or current struggles

My sense is that when we feel overwhelmed, we often cannot see the solutions that are within our grasp and thus we remain stuck. I also firmly believe that many of life’s problems can be alleviated by sharing them with someone who is trained to listen

I am a big believer in going at a pace that is comfortable for you. Giant leaps all begin with gentle steps.

I know that coming to Counselling can seem daunting but I like to consider myself to be a very approachable person.  Have a read of my profile and how I work to see if you feel we could work together.

As well as face to face, I work online using video, email or IM. I also offer telephone counselling.

I offer reduced rates to trainee counsellors

I offer home visits. This involves extra cost for my fuel and travel time

I offer a professional, confidential and friendly therapeutic space for you to explore what is troubling you. Your sessions will be either online, telephone, email, IM or face-to-face in a warm and safe environment, where you can bring any subject you wish to discuss without fear of judgment.

Counselling can lead to improved self-esteem, self discovery, growth, confidence and understanding.

Counselling can be very helpful for many things including –

Depression, Loss & Bereavement, Anxiety, Anger, Trauma, Abuse and many other difficulties

With time our counselling relationship will develop trust and as this happens you may find yourself able to explore more about what is causing you inner turmoil.

Are you a psychotherapist, counsellor or in training and looking for a supervisor?

​I offer individual supervision to qualified counsellors and to counsellors in training. I can work with you face to face or online. I offer 60 or 90 minute sessions with regular frequency to enable you to meet the requirements of your agency and regulatory body.

​If you are interested in accessing clinical supervision, then I suggest we talk in the first instance, to discuss your expectations of supervision and the supervisory relationship.

​I am transparent and authentic in my approach and my supervision is offered at the highest ethical standard in order to help keep you and your clients safe.

I offer concessionary rates to trainee counsellors/psychotherapists.

I offer both 60 and 90 minute sessions
