With 20 years experience, I offer a private, safe, calm, supportive environment to help you work through whatever is troubling you. Counselling gives you the time and space to explore aspects of your life that don’t feel right. Whether it’s depression, anxiety, loss of direction, relationships or continuous negative views about yourself. These are to name but a few of the issues I’ve worked with.

With all the experience I have gained, I know that clients need to feel that their counsellor is someone who they can easily talk to. Someone who is caring and understanding and who has the skills and experience to help them make positive changes. It’s so important for you to feel valued and understood. One of my priorities is to create an environment where you will feel able to talk at a pace that is comfortable for you. 

Counselling is my passion and I have witnessed how powerful it can be. If I was asked why I believed counselling is so beneficial I would say :

‘The one thing that I have learnt, throughout all my years as a therapist, is that once a client feels deeply listened to in a caring, compassionate way, and that their thoughts and feelings are really validated and understood - that is when positive change happens.’

I am passionate about therapy and trained in various schools of therapy, which means that I can adapt to a style of working that is more suited and comfortable for you. Working with clients in this way is very beneficial because all clients are individuals with their own needs. As all clients are unique, I will adapt to you, not expect you to adapt to me. You see, some clients like to talk, whilst others find talking more difficult. So one form of therapy might be good for someone but not as effective for somebody else. Therefore I always work intuitively at a pace along side my client and adapt my style of working as we progress. It’s a very fluid way of working and has been very effective for many of my clients.  

For those clients who are able to visit my practice it is a very private, comfortable space. For those driving there is off street parking right outside. 

Firstly I offer a free 15 min telephone consultation. This will enable us to get a sense of each other and whether we feel we can work together.

After this we can meet for our first session. The first session includes an assessment and I will go through our counselling contract together. It will also give you the opportunity to give me an outline of what is going on for you and what you’re hoping for from the counselling sessions. 

Sessions last for 50mins. Usually the same day/time every week. It is impossible to say how many sessions you will need as everyone is different. But there will be ample opportunity for us to discuss how your sessions are going.
