I have experience working with clients facing a range of challenges, including Depression, Anxiety, Loneliness & Isolation, Grief & Loss and Childhood Trauma
The version of ourselves that we want to be - or that we need to be – can change, from year to year, month to month, even day to day. This is challenging enough to navigate but, when our mental health takes a turn, it can suddenly all get a bit much, can't it? Sometimes we can't do it alone and that’s OK. That's where I can help. That outside voice who isn't in the situation, who can listen without judging, and give you the space you n I believe in affordable counselling for all, and that's why my online sessions start at £20. I also offer Pay What You Can sessions for those unwaged or on a low income. Message me for more info.

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle, provoking anxiety, distress and confusion.
As an Integrative counsellor, I draw upon several models enabling us to tailor the work to your needs. We may explore negative thought patterns or examine how past experiences impact your behaviour and emotions today. We will work to raise self awareness to help you gain greater insight into who you are and what you need now to live a mentally healthy life.

  We seek counselling for a number of reasons including anxiety, trauma, depression, loss, stress, relationship difficulties - but also to gain a greater understanding of the ‘self’ and improve psychological well-being.
I am a progressive, private practitioner providing a confidential service where you can talk, express your feelings in a non judgemental, neutral and safe space. I work open ended in person with adults and young people. Rather than analysing, or tell you how to feel and act, I walk alongside you in your discovery for answers and growth.

There are many reasons why people seek counselling such as anxiety, bereavement or relationships and it can be a combination of things that makes someone feel overwhelmed.
My approach to counselling is based around integrative therapy, which brings together different elements of several therapies. Integrative therapists believe that there is no single approach that can effectively treat each person in all situations and so combine the most appropriate and essential components according to client need.

Although relationship counselling and psycho sexual therapy are my specialities, I also have experience and training with depression, bereavement, anxiety, low self esteem, bullying, jealousy, lonliness, postnatal depression and trauma.
I have worked as a counsellor and psycho sexual therapist for 30 years and I still find it as fascinating and rewarding now as when I started. I am COSRT and Relate accredited. I work with individuals, couples, families. I aim to support my clients to clarify the issues that are hindering their development and relationships in an effective way, while developing a greater understanding of the causes of their current problems and issues. In some cases the counselling can be quite specific and goal orientated; yet with others it can be more exploratory and pastoral. Most often it can include both, depending on the need.

I strongly believe that, "a healer is someone who seeks to be the light she wishes she had in her darkest moments." I understand that taking the first steps towards counselling is not always easy. My own life has not been without struggles and my own experiences of personal counselling have helped shaped the type of counsellor I strive to be.
