I work week days, typical during the day and afternoons. We can discuss availability upon contact to see what best suits your needs. On occasion I am also able to offer some flexibility to those who work shifts.


We can all struggle at times but I find it's best not to do this alone, so let's talk about it. Sometimes an outside perspective can help to highlight blindspots in our thought patterns and in our routine ways of being. â€¨â€¨

Trust, confidentiality and being a positive support in the midst of someone's difficulties are the cornerstones of counselling. Let's meet in a safe space where you can share your story and we'll see what work we can work on, together.

My background is in Psychodynamic Counselling; that is acknowledging and understanding that our past and childhood experiences can have a lasting impact on our lives in the here and now and can also influence the ways in which we interact with others in our current lives. 

The more deeply we can understand this, hopefully the freer from it we can become. It also takes into account the importance of the unconscious mind, in order to better understand and make lasting positive changes to our current situations.

I have particular experience working with the emergency services and have a depth of understanding of that background and environment. I also champion men accessing counselling, exploring their inner worlds and reaching out and seeking support.

I have had further Integrative Training in Couples Counselling which I enjoy and feel passionately about. This includes Marriages, Couples, LGBTQ+ relationships and other types of relationships, such as an adult child and a parent


Sessions are 50 minutes in length, once per week on the same day and at the same time so that you can rely on your space being there for you. However, on occasion I am able to offer sessions to those who work shifts and may find a more standard routine difficult.

We can work on an open ended basis or agree on a set number of sessions, whichever works best for you. I can offer face to face sessions in central Chelmsford, or work remotely with you anywhere in the UK via Telephone or Teams.

We'd begin with a 5-10 minute phone call to discuss in general terms what you hope to gain from counselling. After, we'd meet for our Initial Consultation so that I can get to know you and assess your needs better. Sessions going forward will feel far more conversational. 

Feeling understood by and having a sense of connection with your counsellor will put you in the best position for a more comfortable experience and promote deeper work together.
