Life can be difficult, at times it may seem impossible. Deciding that counselling or psychotherapy might be helpful for you or your child can be a big decision. As can be finding the right person to work with. I aim to help people find their own way forward by working with them in a warm, compassionate and considerate way.
I work integratively as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist with children, adolescents and adults. I originally trained in 1992 and in 2024 completed an MSc in Counselling (Children and Young People).
I do not judge, direct or dictate. If you think you or your child might like to work with me, please do get in touch to arrange a free inital telephone or online consultation.

I am primarily Person Centred but use other disciplines as and when it is helpful to do so. I am a staunch advocate of play therapy when working with younger children and some adolescents. In your first session we will explore how you or your child would like to work and what you or they would like to acheive through therapy.
