I now work with the following charities.

I work in private practice just outside of Hay on Wye, and offer face to face and video call sessions. 

If you are experiencing difficult times, I will offer a down to earth and a practical approach to support you. I will listen with respect and hold your confidentiality.  

Together we will aim for you to gain a better understanding of your situation, so that in time you can develop strategies to cope when life becomes overwhelming. Together we can aim to make changes, so that you can lead a more fulfilling and contented life.   

I work using an integrative approach, which means I will use counselling skills that I think will suit your needs. 

I can appreciate that your first counselling session can feel daunting as you have made a decision to seek professional support.

  Together we can get to know each other, which will give you an opportunity to ask questions and experience  how I work.

 With your permission   I will incorporate an assessment of your needs, and together we can discuss how we can proceed.
