I have offices in Frome, Bath and Salisbury.

I also work online and offer 'walk and talk' sessions outdoors.

Welcome. I am an Integrative, Person Centred Counsellor with ten years' experience.

Life can be difficult, and sometimes what we need most of all is space and time to explore the challenges. Even when we have good relationships with friends and family, it can be easier to talk to someone with whom there is a little objective distance.

Many people come to counselling because they have noticed a feeling of being ‘stuck’. This might be a pattern of behaviour that they would like to change, or a cycle of negative thinking that is hard to break. Some people come with specific goals or things in mind, but for others there isn’t anything in particular they can pinpoint. A great many people seek counselling for issues like anxiety or depression, but for some, it is a more general feeling of unease or dissatisfaction. It can be that the past haunts us, and the future seems uncertain or bleak. Relationships with others can be complicated: we feel misunderstood or find communication hard.

I might be the person who can assist you with your journey. As a counsellor it is a great privilege to accompany individuals on this path. Counselling is not always easy, but I will welcome you exactly as you are and work to create a space that is warm, supportive and genuine.

To begin with I recommend meeting weekly in order to establish a good working relationship. After that you might want to drop down to fortnightly sessions or on an as-and-when basis.

I offer a free 20-30 minute introductory phonecall where we can begin to explore your needs and how I might help. Following this it can help to treat the first session as a trial session, to get a sense of how it feels. It can be a daunting experience to take the first step into counselling.
