Working Hours:

Mon-Thurs 10am - 8pm

I have been in private practice for a number of years and the clients who come to me have found a warm welcome, and a safe, confidential place to talk and be heard.  I trained as an Integrative Counsellor, then later trained in E.M.D.R.,  so I use which ever modality that suits the presenting issue. The counselling can be either face to face, telephone or video(on-line).

One of the reasons counselling works is the relationship that builds between the therapist and client, the client needs to feel supported and held; ultimately it is the client who has the answers and I am a enabling you to work out a way forward.

E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), is used to help people with various types of trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, abuse and phobias.  This can be either face to face or video (on-line).  

The counselling/E.M.D.R. session fee is £50 for 50 minutes.

Please feel free to contact me, either by email or telephone, if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to see me, and I will respond to your message promptly. Thank you.

Within the sessions I offer you a safe place to talk about and explore what you need to.   I may challenge your thought process to enable you to clarify your thoughts, I listen and reflect back to you.   I  offer the sessions for as long as you feel you need them, you are in control, although I will do reviews to check out your progress.  Counselling/EMDR is, for me, about helping you in the shortest time frame possible. 

In the first session I will ask you some basic questions and ask about the presenting issue. Sometimes client's struggle to know where to begin but then are surprised to find how easy it is to talk once they have the space and a non-judgemental listening ear. I do take notes in that session and we discuss what you would like to achieve within the sessions.
