Or a parent concerned for your child or teen?.
I use humanistic and evidence based approaches to develop coping strategies and new patterns of thinking and behaviours. I am experienced in working in schools, the NHS and privately. I don't believe that one approach fits all, and am able to think creatively and outside the box.

I'm experienced working with both children and adults, and offer both short and long term counselling.
As the saying goes, 'Its' good to talk', and I'm hear to listen. Whether life has just got a bit too much at the moment, or whether there are longer term factors and influences you'd like to explore and process, together, we can find a way. I could go into more detail, but for me, reading a blurb doesn't help establish whether I'm the right counsellor for you. If you've reached the point where you are actively looking I'd suggest sending me an email or giving me a bell, lets have a chat and see if I'm able to provide what you need.

My time working with young children and their families, along with raising my own children has provided me with a wealth of life experiences.
My approach to helping my clients with therapy and counselling services, is founded on the principle of Integrative Therapy. This means choosing the practices from different therapeutic modalities best suited to a client’s particular needs and wants.

Integrative Therapy is not limited to a particular methodology and instead allows me to draw on different techniques as they are required. I work with a number of forms of therapy and personalise the approach to meet the types of challenges you may be facing.
