You are struggling with difficult feelings which you may or may not understand or be able to explain. You may be feeling overwhelmed or out of control or unable to function as you always have before or you believe you 'should'. You are unhappy, depressed, anxious, having family or relationship issues, suffering from low self-esteem, body image or weight issues. You are addicted, abused, coping with loss, worried about getting old, lonely......

My aim is simple: to listen and support you to make sense of your situation, whatever that may be.

I am an experienced person-centred Counsellor offering a supportive, non-judgemental, accepting, professional and confidential service where you can be yourself. Based in Saffron Walden, Essex I am privileged to have been along side clients during their healing process. Are you dealing with painful feelings, struggling with unmanageable anger, sadness or emptiness which you find difficult to understand? Do you suffer from lack of confidence, have feelings of worthlessness or shame? Do you feel you are not good enough?

People seek counselling for many different reasons and I understand the decision to come is not always an easy one. Therefore, I ensure I provide a warm and safe environment for you to openly explore what has brought you to counselling where you will be heard, understood and accepted without the fear of being judged. I am an integrative counsellor working mainly from a psychodynamic approach but also incorporating the concepts from other approaches such as humanistic person-centred. Being able to blend these approaches allows me to bring different elements to the therapy to suit what you need and works best for you.

You may feel hesitant or nervous about asking for help and taking that first step is a courageous one. Many people find that therapy provides huge benefits, including a deeper self-awareness and greater contentment in life and relationships.

Making the decision to come for counselling is the first step on the journey to discovering and understanding more about yourself, your relationships and your place in the world. I offer counselling and personal development on a short or long term basis in Saffron Walden in Essex. I enjoy working individually, with couples and with small groups.

Life can be really tough and challenging at times as well as being fast paced. We don't often get the chance to take a moment and focus on how we are feeling, good or bad, so these feelings can add up and become overwhelming and all consuming. The counselling that I offer enables you to be able to take the time to talk through and explore some of these feelings and experiences. I have experience of working with adults on a short and long term basis for both Mental Health charities, addiction charity and currently NHS IAPT contract.

There are times in our lives when we need some support, someone who will listen, feel safe and is non-judgemental. We don't always understand why we feel like we do, some times there's a more obvious trigger. If you are upset, struggling or facing difficulties it can help to talk, which isn't always easy. Understanding our feelings can help us towards a sense of calm and help feel more control over our lives. I work with a genuineness and sensitivity which may enable you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, developing an increased sense of self-acceptance.

There are times in our life when we all need a bit of support. There is no shame in struggling with our mental health. Should it be making a big decision, feeling better about ourselves, being more confident, speaking in public or feeling down or worried. It's estimated 1 in 4 of us are affected by Mental Health issues at some point in our life. Often the fact that its difficult to talk about mental health problems can be one of the hardest parts of seeking help. Making that initial appointment is the hardest and biggest step.

Well done on taking the most difficult decision to access counselling. Sometimes we feel totally overwhelmed by the challenges in life and seeking professional help seems like a momentous decision. However, when in crisis we need more than talking to our friends and family who may not always know how to listen without giving well meaning advice or simply may not know what to say. You may be feeling isolated and lonely, frightened or anxious. You may have temporarily lost your way. I will ensure that you are carefully listened to and I will accept you as you are, without judgement. Together we will find a way forward.

I am currently offering my services fully online via video chat or telephone. Everyone experiences tough times in their life but that doesn't mean the problems have to be faced alone.

Coronavirus permitting, we can do this either in the comfort of your own home, or in my discreet counselling room in a quiet area of Southport. I also offer couples/relationship counselling.
