Life can sometimes feel stressful and be really challenging.  Many of us experience some form of anxiety and depression, which can affect our personal relationships and everyday life.  You may be feeling overwhelmed, confused and struggling to cope with your emotions and mental health?  Talking about how you're feeling can really help and bring clarity and peace of mind. I have been counselling since 2007, offering Person-Centred counselling for adults and young people to manage some of the stresses and strains that occur in everyday life.

 I can offer you a safe and private environment to share your feelings and anxieties without any expectations or judgements, enabling you to develop greater understanding and self awareness.  

As well as bringing empathy, respect and honesty to our sessions, I also offer a vast amount of personal knowledge and experience in the shape of 18 years of counselling (including bereavement, anxiety and depression, low self esteem, relationship issues, OCD and Autism) being a foster carer for over 17 years, a mother of four healthy grown children and having a Masters degree in Social Work.  I also have personal lived experience of dealing with and surviving triple negative breast cancer and the crippling effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy and the immense physiological trauma that goes with it. 

I passionately believe that nature and the outdoors can have a vastly positive effect on our mental wellbeing. So can also offer ‘walk & talk’ therapy, which can be more comfortable for some people as opposed to sitting together face to face.  

I also have vast experience of working with young people through working at a local charity for the past 20 years. 

I can offer flexible times throughout the day or evening. Please contact me to find out more details and arrange an appointment.  

I offer face to face, telephone or video sessions.  All of these can be short or long term as required.
