I’m currently offering sessions via Zoom and telephone for the time being and will regularly review returning face to face.

We all need support from time to time, to deal with difficult feelings, personal crisis, loss, traumatic experiences and self esteem issues. Sometimes we feel lost and confused and find it hard to admit that we aren’t coping as well as we want to. 

Talking to someone who isn’t part of your life allows you the freedom to explore those issues or difficult feelings you’re experiencing. The aim of this is to enable you to feel heard and support you to create the life you want for yourself. Maybe you are experiencing a crisis and need immediate support. 

Recognising that you may need help through counselling can be both courageous and daunting. Talking through these issues can bring insight, which in turn, brings change.

I can offer a safe and confidential space in which to explore what’s been troubling you without fear of judgment or criticism.

It can be helpful sometimes to explore parts of the past and how these influence the present. You cannot change what has happened before but you are the expert of your life, no one else

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties including low self esteem, depression, anxiety, loss, trauma and relationship problems. My approach is Integrative, combining Person Centred and Psychodynamic modalities for a more tailored approach, as there is no “one size fits all” and each client has individual needs. I offer remote counselling via Zoom and telephone at the moment but will regularly review resuming face to face sessions. 

The first consultation  will be free of charge for 15 minutes by Zoom or telephone and the time will be spent to see if I’m a good fit for your needs and to see what you want from therapy/counselling. If we agree that we can work together in a therapeutic relationship, I will book you in for the first session which will include a full assessment and I will take relevant information which will be GDPR protected. 

I have been offering online sessions using Zoom but can now offer face to face sessions for clients who prefer this option.

My counselling room will be thoroughly cleaned in line with BACP Covid 19 guidelines to ensure a safe environment.
