About me and my therapy practice

Depression, anxiety and isolation can prevent us from living life as fully or as happily as we wish. I offer counselling to people who need help to work through their difficulties within a sensitive and confidential relationship. My counselling approach is interactive, during our sessions together I will be interested in you as a whole person, your past, your present and your hopes for the future.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor with an MSc in Counselling which incorporates the Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and I work in accordance with the BACP code of ethics. My background is in Psychology, Counselling and Education.

Upon completing my undergraduate degree in Psychology I spent three years living, working and training in a residential therapeutic community for young people with emotional difficulties. Through this experience I gained invaluable knowledge and insight which underpins my subsequent 25 year commitment to working with adults and young people with differing needs and from diverse backgrounds. I have been a counsellor in a community based counselling service, a registered charity and in private practice.
