I currently have availability to accept new clients and I can offer sessions on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.  The majority of my appointments take place between 8.00 am and 3.30pm but I can sometimes offer evening appointments on request.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my profile. Choosing a counsellor isn't always easy and I would recommend you take your time and trust your own judgement. It can also be difficult to make a decision based on a photograph and a brief written summary which is why I feel a phone call can prove very helpful in aiding your decision.

You can expect to receive from me a respectful and open counselling relationship. We will negotiate the best way of working together in aiming to achieve your goals.

The ability to open up about your inner world can be extremely difficult and at times uncomfortable, however, the positive effect this can have on someone's life can and in my experience does make the hard work all worth it. I decided to qualify as a Person-Centred Counsellor as it provides people with the opportunity to explore their inner feelings, empowering them to come to the realisation of what they would like to change in their life and how that can be achieved. I feel the most important aspect of counselling is for you, the client, to talk about whatever you feel safe to share, at a pace that suits you. I will never pressure you to open up and will be right with you at your speed as this is your space.

I look forward to hearing from you and joining you on your journey.

I have an Advanced Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling. I have worked one-to-one with men and women who have been victims of child abuse, domestic abuse, and rape. I have also worked with individuals who are struggling with food disorders, self harm, suicidal tendencies, mental health issues, OCD, sexuality, stress, anxiety, personal loss, grief, anger and self-esteem issues.

Once we're happy to work together I will email over to you a contract.  It doesn't tie you to a certain number of sessions but it will give you a good outline of how we will work together.  If you are in agreement with the points raised in the contract, it's just a case of signing the form and returning it to me before the first session.  This session can be face to face, online or over telephone, whichever works better for you.
