I currently have availability on Monday, Thursday and Friday from 8.30 am - 6 pm.

I can be flexible in offering Saturday mornings 9-1pm should the need arise.

I don't have any holidays booked at this time but would always give clients plenty of notice as and when I do decide to take a break.

I am a registered Qualified Person Centred Therapist with over thirty five years experience working with both adults and young people, working with a range of issues such as Family relationships, bereavement, childhood trauma, Anxiety and depression, low self Esteem and stress related issues.

If you are finding life a little difficult or experiencing anxiety and stress, feeling overwhelmed with intrusive negative thoughts, whatever your going through here at summerhouse counselling my sole focus is to provide you with a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where together we can help you explore your  life’s challenges.

People can do experience unforeseen circumstances that can leave them feeling a little wobbly and unsure of how to process their thoughts and feeling and therefore if this is your experience, I can help, I will actively listen to you without judgement but with compassion and empathy, I will gently guide you to take the steps you need to build resilience for personal growth, which once developed will be skills for life.

Depending upon your circumstances, clients are empowered to make their own decisions regarding length of therapy, some clients only need a few sessions whilst other's may need longer,as an individual whatever length you feel you need this process is led by you.

I offer both Face to Face and online sessions. I offer open ended session so the time frame of therapy is totally up to you. 

My foundation modality is based on Person Centred therapy which means that each session is led by you, my focus and approach is holding a safe space in which you can explore your issues and collaboratively we can explore strategies that will encourage your own self discovery.

I believe that the first start of the journey starts with you, it is important that you are ready to embark on a journey of change. By offering clients time and space, I truly believe each one of us has the capacity to change, I am aware that therapy can be a struggle at times but like anything else by commitment and work,  lifetime changes are possible. 

In the words of Carl Jung, "We don't get wounded alone and we don't get healed alone" So if you are ready to start your healing journey reach out now.

I am aware of the courage it takes to start this journey, the questions, the anxiety, the fear at making that initial contact.

 Which for these reasons I feel it is important to offer clients an initial 30 mins telephone consultation.

During this time it is my hope that you will come to a decision about whether you feel the therapeutic relationship is what you are looking for, as for me, this is one of the most important aspects of your therapeutic journey. 

If you decide that I am someone you feel you can work with, arrangements will be agreed to make the next appointment whether this be either attend face to face or online.
