About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced counsellor and offer a professional and confidential service to support you in overcoming difficulties you may be experiencing in life.

Hopefully, you will feel comfortable and supported by me, in whatever you wish to explore about you and your life.

Practice description
I am an experienced counsellor. I offer a professional and confidential service to support you in overcoming difficulties you may be experiencing in life. I understand it can be difficult to talk about very personal feelings and events, but counselling provides a safe space where you can just be you, without fear of judgement, an opportunity to be listened to when you need it most. Hopefully, you will feel comfortable and supported by me, in whatever you wish to explore about you and your life.
I am an integrative relational counsellor which enables me to use a variety of theoretical approaches such as psychodynamic, person-centred, creative and EMDR. Together we can discover what resonates within you, to help you to achieve your goals.
My first session
I offer a free initial telephone consultation (20-30 minutes) to discuss any questions you may have and what you would like from counselling.
Should you decide to come for counselling, we start by making an agreement about how we are going to work together and then we check how we are doing after an agreed number of sessions, so that we stay focused.
The number of sessions required will depend upon the issue or problem you want to address – some issues may be resolved in a relatively short time (say, 6-12 sessions), others may take longer. The length of time we work together is something we agree jointly and which we regularly review during therapy.
Please contact me if you want any further information about me or how I work, or if you want to arrange a session to find out if I am the right therapist for you
