At times we all struggle, whether it be suffering from anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, to name a few. Counselling can offer a compassionate, intuitive and intelligent way to assist in making sense of what we are feeling in order to bring clarity in how to move forward. No issue, no matter how large or small is any less valid to how it affects you.

Through influences such as family and life experiences we create our identity, personality and ways of thinking which affect our responses, mood, the way we interact within our daily lives and how we handle our problems.

My drive when working with clients is to promote their strong sense of self, to learn how best for themselves to face challenges. To gain a new perspective with tools they can call upon that are personalised for them.

I offer a pluralistic, person-centred, counselling approach which flows comfortably and naturally, building a trusting partnership.

I am also a fully qualified Hypnotherapist which can be incorporated as and when clients invite, thus being a supporting complimentary therapy, where the more relaxed mind can deal more objectively with issues they are facing.

Amongst many of the issues I can help with are anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, learned helplessness, relationships and I also offer couples counselling,

Also help with bereavement, panic attacks, phobias, performance anxiety, body dysmorphia, health anxiety, loss, fear, to name a few.

Counselling can bring much relief and clarity in how to move forward.

Working both with adults and Children, counselling can be life changing.

My normal fee is £50 per session, or with home visits, depending on locality, a fair travel cost to be arranged.  

As well as face to face I can offer zoom, microsoft teams, or telephone talking sessions.

Sessions can be adapted to suit (such as walking therapy session). 

Concessionary rate of £35 for pensioners or those on government support.

I offer an initial 10 minute informal chat in order for you to be able to get a sense, all being well, of feeling comfortable with me, as a good counsellor/client relationship facilitates a more productive outcome.

First session will be an overall introduction, to listen to the issues you are presently facing.  Providing a time to have your feelings validated and to bring together an agreed plan that will naturally flow  to help towards a more productive and enjoyable life.
