Are you struggling alone to navigate life's challenges? Do you feel lost and want to make changes in your life but aren't sure how to start? Maybe you just need someone to listen without judgement and provide a safe environment where you can explore what a happier future looks like for you. I would like to work with you to achieve your goals within a warm and empathic relationship based on Person Centred theory. I work in a creative way and tailor sessions to meet your individual needs and preferences.
I have experience of working successfully with a diverse range of clients and issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, anger, ADHD and Autism, Before becoming a counsellor I worked for 30 years in both mainstream and Special Education where I gained extensive experience of working with neurodiversity and mental ill health.
Starting counselling can be daunting, but please don't hesitate in contacting me to arrange an introductory online session where we can discuss what you need from counselling and I can answer any questions that you might have. I look forward to meeting you.
