Being human can be complicated, there are times we all struggle to make sense of how we’re living. Sometimes nothing seems to bring us any sense of joy, meaning or simply contentment anymore. Talking to a counsellor might seem intimidating or downright terrifying but it’s honestly true that talking can make a huge difference and help make those negative or even desperate times easier to manage. I will provide you with a safe, non-judgemental space in which you can share any problems or troubling thoughts you might have. Together we will work through these in order that you can find resolution and happiness in your life.
I enjoy working with people of all ages, from young to older people. I have a special interest in issues such as bereavement, loneliness, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. As well as being a qualified counsellor I have extensive experience (23 years) working with young people, who describe me as kind and approachable with a good sense of humour.
I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where you can relax and gradually share your problems, regain some clarity and a more positive outlook to allow you to move forward. The aim in sessions will be for you to feel optimistic again. I will listen with empathy and whilst I may challenge you, it will be done with compassion and respect.

Clients can bring anything into the therapy room, from depression to self-harm, trauma to family relationships. Nothing is out of bounds as this is a safe place, without judgement. That means you will be able to explore any issues that have arisen. It will maybe be hard to talk about many of these, but with my support and guidance you can hopefully find a way to feel more positive about life.

Although person centre trained, I believe that good practice is about making a real and positive connection with a client. That means that after we have explored what brought you to therapy, we will discuss the most effective way for you to feel supported and challenged to help you feel better.
