Íø±¬ÃÅ

I am currently available on Thursday and Friday afternoons

I am an Integrative Counsellor trained to help you with whatever difficulties you are facing.

It may be that you are very confused or unhappy and wonder how you are going to get through but please know that though things may seem bleak now there is growth through tough times, and this growth can start with what is often the most difficult thing: reaching out for help.

I see both adults and under 18's and have lived in the southwest for 35 years, raising my three children here. Previously to training to be a counsellor, I worked in an educational setting in a senior pastoral role, a job I loved. I particularly enjoyed the mental health side of the role and so decided to train as a counsellor and undertook both an adult training to degree level, and, once qualified, did an additional training in counselling children and young people.

I work with a range of issues including:

Anxiety

Depression

Relationship issues

Bereavement and Loss

Trauma of all kinds

Anger

Self-Harm

Domestic and Sexual Abuse

Neurodiversity

LGBTQ+

I am registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and so adhere to their professional standards which includes their code of conduct, known as the Ethical Framework. I am awaiting accreditation with the Íø±¬ÃÅ, a rigorous process taking up to a year.

 Sessions last 50 minutes.

Methods of Payment

Payment is due at the end of each session, or in advance by bank transfer (bank details provided on request). I regret I am unable to accept credit or debit cards.

I look forward to meeting you.

I offer an initial 30 minute consultation free of charge which gives us a chance to meet before starting work. 

In this time, I will hear a bit about the issues you are facing, and you can ask any questions you may have. This is usually by phone or Zoom but can be in person if you prefer.
