I am an experienced Counsellor with over 25 years experience. I aim to offer a safe space to to work on whatever you feel is important to focus on to make your life manageable or better. Life can be busy and I am a strong advocate in working in the way that fits into your life, whether that is online, telephone or in person. The work we do together is focused on you but based on the relationship we develop, that why I always offer a free no obligation initial session. Making space in your life to look at what you want to change rather than letting it flood every minute of your day can be a great first step.
I have a lot of experience with working with depression and anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD and Autism, children and young people as well as adapting to living with a disability. I also am a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor.
Life is about the good times and the bad times, there are periods in all of our lives when we feel we need to stop, reflect and change things that no longer work for us. Giving yourself that gift and getting the support when you need it is a vital to survival and to thrive.

I work with people who need something to change in their lives, that causes them difficulty - what ever that is. We'll meet initially and create a plan together. I always describe the feeling of having your first session of counselling as cleaning your messy desk. We put everything into the filing cabinet, then look at things one by one, getting rid of stuff we no longer need, retaining what works

I trained in person-centred counselling, but over the years I have integrated other forms of therapy, CBT, existential therapy, compassion based therapy and creative therapy to facilitate the work when needed. In my practice I believe the client knows what they need and my role is to help them unlock that 'knowledge' to get to where they need to be.
