Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, relationships, loneliness, anger, disorders? and finding it hard to cope, feeling stuck, confused, and uncertain what to do without someone who can listen and understand you?

During challenging times you may need someone just to talk to and listen to you or just be quiet with. Often this isn’t possible with your partner, family or friends and you may need to get a different perspective from someone who is not part of your life.

I am a qualified and accredited and very experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I work with individuals, couples, younger and older people in a safe, peaceful and comfortable environment.

I offer face-to-face, video and telephone counselling with individuals and couples, providing help and support with life issues. Importantly to help with coping, increasing personal awareness, understanding and making positive life changes.

The quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to positive outcomes in my counselling work.

I will build a trusting therapeutic relationship and work with you safely and confidentially to help you understand your past, deal with present difficulties and explore your hopes. This can be a time of self discovery and can involve drawing on your own personal strengths and resources to bring hope and a more positive future and reaching your life goals.

Our work can involve exploring and sharing the past, present and future within our counselling relationship. I always aim to provide a place of safety which can encourage you to share your sometimes difficult or uncomfortable feelings, thinking and behaving. Although difficult experiences in your past can’t be changed we can work together on how these impact your life now and learn how to process any difficult emotions that remain with these. The focus here is on the ‘here and now’ helping you to cope and be in control of your life.

My practice is built upon creating a safe, confidential, and peaceful environment where you can connect and be 

I offer a complimentary 10-15 minute initial consultation by phone. This gives you an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, ask any questions, and see if my approach feels like the right fit for you.

If you decide to move forward, we will establish a regular time for our work. Sessions take place either in my confidential counselling room or via video. 

A first session is a collaborative exploration rather than clinical assessment, where you are able to share what brought you to therapy.

During your first session you can:

Share your therapeutic goals, what you would like to achieve in your counselling work.

An overview of your world, your relationships, your early background and current life situation.

For couples, our initial focus is on understanding the key issues operating and dynamics within your relationship, main stress areas and establishing shared goals.
