I am an experienced accredited psychodynamic counsellor.

I originally trained as a nursery nurse, learning about the development and care of babies and young children before going on to work as a residential social worker with children and young adults and their families, often dealing with difficult and challenging life circumstances.

Through my life experience, I have a particular interest in attachment theory and how our early experience of care or lack of care has shaped our lives and relationships, affecting how we function in the world today.

I am currently completing a certificate in Attachment Theory and Practice from The Bowlby Centre in London.

I am a warm and empathic person who will really enjoy helping you to understand yourself and the situation that you may find yourself in, in order to assist you to bring about change in your life.

I will do this by helping you work through old and existing patterns of behaviour that once served to keep painful or distressing feelings out of your consciousness but are now, no longer required or serving you well and are getting in the way of you moving forward in your life.

Most importantly, I will work at your pace, allowing you the time and space that you need to adopt changes.

My practice room is warm, comfortable, with garden views and I provide a safe, confidential space for our work together.

I can offer open-ended or short term therapy 

Our first session will be an assessment, where I will be finding out what has brought you to counselling and why now, and also, gather information about your history, your family, relationships , work etc. 

It will also give us an opportunity to consider whether we would like to work together.

This will be charged at the same rate as a counselling session but will be an hour long, all other counselling sessions will last for 50 minutes.
