I have worked with individuals, couples and groups on a wide range of issues including, bereavement, anxiety, all forms of abuse, relationship issues, low self esteem, burn out, marriage difficulties, family issues, and many more.
I have many years experience of working with domestic violence and women’s groups. I have also worked extensively with physical, mental and sexual abuse. I work using a variety of techniques to fit the need of the client. More recently I have found that adding meditation to run alongside Counselling has great results with some clients.

I am a BACP-accredited counsellor, supervisor and counselling tutor, deeply passionate about helping people. Through my own personal life experience and mental health challenges, counselling and psychotherapy has given a life perspective I would have never imagined before. I truly believe we each have our own answers, sometimes buried deep within us. Therapy is a process to unearth them - perhaps when they are needed most.

I previously worked for a mental health charity, supporting clients experiencing extreme stress, relationship challenges, anxiety or depression and those needing anger management.
My goal is to help you to manage the challenges that you face in life. Your issues may be around dealing with illness, loss and bereavement or extreme stress and anxiety - my specialist areas. I help you to become more confident, increasing your self esteem and self worth and finding ways to challenge your negative thinking. Counselling may not always change your circumstances, but I can help to cope with them better. My integrative approach means I use different styles depending on your needs. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and safe space in which to explore your concerns. This can be short term or longer term work.

I work with adults who are finding it hard to cope with the challenges life presents, perhaps, anxiety and stress, relationship issues, loss and bereavement, depression or sadness.
My approach is to listen carefully in a non-judgemental way, to understand you, and to help you to find ways to be happier and more satisfied. It's not my style to sit quietly and nod, but to be part of the process as you figure things out and make good decisions for yourself. I hope you will find me accepting, engaging, and challenging where appropriate.

The therapeutic relationship we will share is central to the work we will do together in order to help you explore and resolve your issues.
In my experience one main aspect of Counselling that contributes hugely to it being a truly positive life changing endeavour is the fact that, as a client, you have the opportunity to be a part of a unique, unconditional, pure therapeutic relationship, free of the usual emotional transactions and pressures you may be experiencing in your everyday life.

Couples Counselling Counsellors
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
