About me and my therapy practice

Currently working flexibly with individuals and couples via simple technology.

I aim to provide a confidential, supportive and caring space for exploring thoughts and feelings where you can talk without fear of judgement. I usually suggest an exploratory meeting to decide if we feel able to work together. Our work can be short term and focused or longer term for more in depth exploration.

In addition to working in private practice, I have worked in a local community project with individuals addressing their addiction problems as well as counselling young people in secondary schools. I also provide counselling for Gloucestershire County Council Occupational Health.
