I currently have availability within my practice. 

I am a person-centred counsellor, and I provide safe and compassionate support to help you come to terms with and navigate the difficult situations and events that life sometimes throws at us. I can support you with a quiet and non-judgemental space to help you find the strength to verbalise your thoughts and to help you see you are important and your feelings and opinions valid. This will hopefully help you work towards a more fulfilled life and a happier outlook on the future.

I feel the counselling relationship is based on trust and respect, also a relaxed openness where there are no boundaries to subject matter and an honesty which will hopefully promote a feeling of support, transparency and safety. It’s paramount that my clients feel they can talk about any issue without fear of judgement, so they feel completely at ease and accepted for being themselves.

I have worked with the challenges of bereavement, grief, anticipatory grief, divorce, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, dealing with the difficulties of aging ourselves such as menopause or supporting aging parents or partners. I have also helped clients come to terms with trauma such as sexual abuse, domestic abuse and coercive control, abandonment issues and upsetting or confusing health diagnoses. I have an interest in dealing with bereavement and the complexities of grief, but I am comfortable with helping people with any life issue.

I offer the first session as a free, non obligatory phone call for 20-30 minutes to see if you feel you could work with me. You can tell me as much or as little as you want to during this time with no obligation to disclose sensitive information. I will then follow up this call with an email within 1 week to see if you feel able to start sessions, with no pressure to continue or a need to disclose the reason if you feel unable to at that time.
