That first step into counselling can feel daunting. My priority is to welcome you when we meet. I'm qualified, experienced and offer a half price first session, usually within a week of contact. Saturday and weekday sessions are available. We all find things hard at times in our lives. When we do, it can be good to work through our thoughts and feelings with someone who seeks to understand, not judge us, and offers helpful reflection on our situation.
I am experienced working with adults, young people and children. I am trained in several therapeutic approaches that I draw on flexibly depending on your specific needs. I believe each person has their own inherent resources and potential for change and growth.
A good counselling relationship helps activate your potential for change and growth by the counsellor and client working together. You can email me or leave a message on my confidential answerphone. There's no need to provide a detailed message - just contact details and an expression of interest. I usually respond within two working days.

My client base is broad. However I work a lot with men who are feeling depressed, anxious, struggling with confidence, anger, having difficulties with work and relationships or feeling dissatisfied with life. Together we find the root causes and work together to find a pathway for healthy change.

As a Humanistic counsellor I'm trained in a variety of complementary therapeutic approaches that can be adapted to your individual needs. I'll often use Transactional Analysis: uncovering patterns that you learned in childhood and how they have shaped your thoughts, feelings and behaviours now. We then work together to find new patterns that are healthier for you.
