Counselling

When life feels overwhelming, difficult or challenging, you don’t have to face it alone, deciding to start counselling can feel daunting, but you have already taken the first step so please get in touch.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor with over 18 years’ experience and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work with adults over the age of 18.

I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about your situation. Together, we can explore the thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be affecting you and work towards greater understanding, healing and positive change.

How I can help

I have worked with an extensive and diverse range of issues including:

· Anxiety, depression and low mood

· Trauma and abuse

· Bereavement and loss

· Relationship difficulties

· Work-related stress

· Life changes and challenges

I have worked across several settings, including the NHS and a counselling charity, and have developed particular interest and skills in supporting clients who have experienced trauma and abuse.

A personalised approach

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs, these may include:

Person-Centred Counselling | Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) | Psychodynamic Therapy | Creative Therapy | Trauma-Informed Therapy

I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important part of counselling, and I aim to create a space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.

In-person or online counselling

I offer counselling in person from my office in Swindon or online. A combination of these options may also be possible and helpful if you work shifts, travel regularly or need greater flexibility. Please call or email if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment.

I offer an initial session at a reduced rate of £35.00, this appointment will provide an opportunity for us to get to know each other and will enable you to give me an outline of the issues that you would like to explore.
