Sometimes friends/family/work colleagues can listen but don't hear, they look but don't see.  We can often feel unheard and invisible.  We can all experience times when we feel low in mood, stressed, sad, or generally overwhelmed and these are normal reactions to life occurrences such as loss, relationship issues, work pressures. However, sometimes these feelings and emotions persist and cause disruption to our ability to function with day to day living and impact on our wellbeing or we experience more traumatic life events that have a more detrimental effect on us. It is at times like these that we certainly need to be heard and seen.  This is when counselling may be able to help.

I offer a warm, safe, empathic, non-judgemental, confidential space where people really do feel comfortable in discussing any issues of concern.  We will work together, discussing your preferences for therapy, what you want from therapy, agreeing a way forward together.  Working at your your pace, being supported by me but I will never tell you what to do.  I aim to help you gain more clarity on your issues, perhaps a different perspective, a sense of direction, purpose or meaning.

I use an Integrative approach which means I can use a variety of models to support you.  We are all unique individuals and being able to use different models of counselling allows me to flexible to your needs.

I work with a variety of issues,  in particular grief and bereavement, child loss, post-traumatic stress disorder and cancer.

I have worked for a Women's Mental Health Charity as well as a Counselling Organisation.

I currently volunteer on an NHS Oncology Unit as well as working in Private Practice.

I offer a concessionary rate for Trainees.
