Sometimes life, family or work related pressures, traumatic events, loss, or debilitating anxiety or depression become overwhelming. This is often when we stop being who we want to be, stop living life the way we want to live and sometimes we need some help to get ourselves back on track.

I provide counselling help and support to both adults and young people; a confidential, safe place to talk, , to explore your thoughts and emotional reactions to events - past and present. Counselling provides an opportunity to find peace, or perhaps clarity, to understand and potentially make sense of hard to handle feelings such as sadness, guilt, shame, anger or vulnerability; feelings that may be dominating, overwhelming and stopping you moving forward and getting the most out of life

I am run a therapy practice, The Good Therapy Works as well as working with a number of organisations. I offer a range of therapies and treatments to support mental and physical wellbeing for both adults and couples, children and young people.

As a professionally qualified experienced counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist I'm here to listen and hear your story, from your perspective; support you and help you manage some of the debilitating effects of anxiety, depression and trauma.

You and your life events are what makes you unique so each session has you at its core, supporting self-discovery and offering help and guidance to support growth, change and or acceptance.

Although I offer counselling for most issues my work often is with client's who have experienced trauma at some point and have may have been referred by GPs or employers. I work also have undertaken Post Graduate training and have experience working with children and young people.
