Please note:  Most of my work at the moment is via Zoom or telephone.  However, I can work Wednesday's and Thursday's from this practice in a Covid-19 secure manner.    

I strive to give my clients a safe, non-judgmental, confidential space in which to explore what's important to them. I know what it feels like to have nobody to talk to or family and friends that just don't seem to understand you. That feeling of confusion, you know your unhappy but don't really understand why, or you know why but cannot find a way forward. Counselling can help clear that confusion.

I am an experienced Counsellor who has helped many clients to find their own path forward. My clients are dear to me, working together we can bring clarity and understanding.    

My clinical approach is psychodynamic which stresses the importance of the unconscious and past experience in shaping our current behaviour. The aim being to build a trusting relationship with you where you can feel completely comfortable speaking about the things that are troubling you.  Often we are unaware of why we do things the way we do, together we can uncover the clues and investigate the answers.    

The first assessment session (50 minutes) gives us an opportunity to discuss your current circumstances, what you hope to gain from counselling and how we may work together.  This assessment session is completely free of charge.  Following this session, it is entirely your own choice whether you wish to proceed.  

Please note:  At the moment, because of the Covid restrictions, this practice is only completing Zoom and telephone counselling.
