I am available in the day time on Tuesday in person and Saturday afternoons.  I am available for telephone counselling on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.  On Tuesday mornings and Saturday afternoon I offer Walk and Talk.

I am an Integrative counsellor working mostly within the humanistic therapies and spirituality.  So I value people and help them  to take back control of their lives using all their own resources.  

I work by providing a confidential safe space where people can express their feelings and emotions.  I often use creative ideas for people to be able to do this even if they can't easily talk about them.  I can help people being aware of themselves, staying in the present.  I would say that I am a good person to go to after going through CBT as I am experienced in supporting people who have just finished CBT and say 'what now?'  I go deeper with  Contemplative listening for Transpersonal approach and am happy to work with older people.

I have over 12 years experience working with people who have a mental health diagnosis both short and longer term working in NHS setting and 3rd sector.  I help people embrace life using coaching, compassionate and creative ideas.

I practice on line, Walk and Talk, and in person in the Cambrian Centre in Richmond on Tuesday mornings.  I am available for home visits if you are an older person or disabled.  

In the first session I will listen to what you would like to bring into counselling and find out if I am the right counselor for you.  If it works for you we will look at an informal agreement about how long we are going to work together and when.  I recommend starting with 6 sessions and then revisiting the agreement.  The first session is free and may be about 30 mins.
