I offer sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Contact me for availability.

Finding someone to trust with the complicated personal details of life can be daunting. Maybe you:

• want change of some sort but it’s difficult to imagine, let alone achieve
• have been hurt or damaged by life events, recent or long ago
• are unhappy, lonely or feel that your hopes have come to nothing
• feel that life is passing you by

I am an integrative counsellor and coach. This means

• I am experienced and comfortable working with emotions and on a more practical level.
• I combine elements from different theories and approaches, depending on your need and preference.
• I combine counselling and coaching in a way that works for you

My work is influenced by my own life and personal therapy experiences. These have taught me that change is possible, even when it seems unimaginable. The change may not be exactly what you expected. It might come quicker than you imagined or it might take longer but I will stay with you and support you through the process.

I work face to face in Bournemouth or via Zoom.  Sessions are one hour and are usually weekly at the same time.  However, although we may be able to negotiate something different, for example if you are a shift worker. 

One of the most important factors in our work will be whether you feel you can trust and speak freely with me. Therefore it’s important you are able to make an informed choice about whether I might be the right therapist for you.

After a short telephone conversation, I will offer you a first session free of charge via Zoom. During this session I hope you will feel able to:

tell me about your reasons for wanting therapy and how you think I can help

ask me any questions you have

tell me about anything I

tell me about your availability

The session will give us a chance to get to know one another a little before any decision need be made.

If you decide you want to have therapy with me, we can meet face to face in my lovely garden office in Bournemouth (sorry there is no step free access) or by Zoom.
