Starting therapy takes courage and finding the right therapist is important. I am a straightforward, down to earth counsellor who has experience of working with difficulties such as grief, identity issues, health issues, self harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse, relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression and questions around faith and spirituality. 

I have a background in Philosophy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling, which means I am able to tailor the therapy to suit the individual, rather than following a particular model.  Research shows that the relationship between the client and therapist is the most important part of therapy. Feeling safe, understood and accepted is where this trusting relationship can begin and where change can take place. 

I have worked with people from many different walks of life and ages . I have a special interest in, and experience of, working with older people.  I am currently developing a not for profit project aimed at supporting individuals and families who are living with dementia.

Flexible location 

Sessions usually take place in a discreet, accessable counselling room in Todmorden.  However, I believe the therapy needs to fit the client therefore,  I am able to accomodate home visits, depending on circumstance. I also offer outdoor counselling sessions, walking in nature, if that is your thing. 

Number of sessions 

You don't need to book a fixed amount of sessions.  If you decide to go ahead with counselling, it is up to you whether you want to continue and for how long.

Sessions last one hour and cost £60. Concessions are available. 

Free consultation 

It is important that you take the time to find the right therapist for you. To help you decide if you would like us to work together,  I offer a free 15 minute consultation, either face to face or over the phone, where you will have an opportunity discuss what you would like to get out of therapy,  to ask questions and address any concerns you might have.
