About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified counsellor, offering individual counselling to adults and young people.  

 

I believe that human beings just want to be happy and at ease with themselves and their environment - I know I do! Yet there are times when this seems to elude us either because of, or causing difficulties in our personal and professional lives. Sometimes we are able to resolve these difficulties ourselves or with the support of friends and family. However, for times when this process is not sufficient or possible, the therapeutic relationship counselling offers can be a positive and helpful experience.

I have experience of working with clients presenting with issues such as anger, anxiety, low mood, depression, low self-esteem, stress, self-harm, cancer, divorce, relationship issues, work-related stress and loss and bereavement.

Practice description

I practice within a professional, safe and confidential setting in Romsey with the additional benefit of free parking.  

My first session

I feel that the most important aspect of counselling is the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor; it is therefore important that you find the right counsellor for you at this time and to this end I offer an initial 30 minute meeting which is non-chargeable. It is not a counselling session, rather an opportunity for us to meet and for you to gauge whether you feel comfortable working with me and that I am the right counsellor for you at this time.
