"Life can be really tough! Perhaps you've struggled with anxiety or depression for a long time? and now you've had enough? Or something happened? and now life has become unbearable? Maybe you and your partner argue constantly? Whatever your issue, you can see no clear way forward to deal with what's troubling you. Your friends and family might offer you support, but sometimes this isn't enough, or there are feelings or issues you just can't share with them. It can feel as though no one really understands. Now is the time to get support from an experienced, caring professional. I'm here for you, contact me for free 30 min initial apt."

"My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that each of us carries within ourselves the wisdom and tools to initiate our own healing process, the therapeutic relationship then becomes a facilitation of a return to self. Through my own journey of recovery and successfully sustaining sobriety I have become a believer in being able to reinvent your life. To address addiction is often very difficult and takes incredible courage. But the gifts of recovery from addiction are tremendous. As your therapist I will quickly identify the causes, conditions and underlying concerns that are causing your pain. "

"Talking helps .... where shall we begin? Are you feeling stuck, facing a challenging period, struggling to cope or just wanting to understand yourself better? Are you feeling lost, powerless and helpless? You might have experienced a life changing event such as bereavement or divorce and be struggling with knowing how to cope with the future. Are you experiencing stress at work, even feelings of panic? I can help you explore these issues and others in a safe, quiet and relaxing environment. You are the best expert on yourself so the way we work together is yours. I look forward to hearing from you if you’d like to work with me."

"Sometimes life can feel overwhelming and it may seem there are no answers to your problems. You may feel ashamed, embarrassed or a burden to speak of such problems with family and friends and so become consumed by your feelings. I am here for you to explore such life issues through a talking therapy in a confidential, safe and non-judgemental environment using a person-centred approach."

"Everyone experiences tough times in their life but that doesn't mean the problems have to be faced alone. I understand the importance of being able to talk freely and without judgement and that is the opportunity I can offer you. Whether it's stress, anxiety, grief, depression or past events that are affecting you, we can work together to get your life back on track. We can do this either in comfort of your own home, or in my discreet counselling room in a quiet area of Southport."

" You have a busy life, juggling, home, work, family and friends. Sometimes it can be really hard just to find the time to stop and take stock of your own life and what and where you're going. Oftentimes, we know we have 'stuff' to deal with 'issues' to be worked through - but where and how to do that? This was me, too! That's why I started my ONLINE counselling business, in order to be able to reach the busy mum or dad - or the executive who; on the outside looks like they 'have it all', but on the inside feel like they're crumbling and don't know who to turn to. "

"**Please note I am unable to take any new client referrals at present ** Life can sometimes present us with difficulties we do not expect.

I am a warm and approachable person who will provide a safe space where you can feel free to discuss your problems without any judgement.

"Feeling overwhelmed, confused or in a mess? Perhaps you are at a point in your life when your ideas of where you should be don't match up with where you are. Does it seem as though there is no way out of your current situation? I can help navigate your way through these feelings so you have more clarity and choice about what you think, feel, and do. Together we will work to identify both the aspects of your life that are working for you, as well as the aspects that may benefit from deeper understanding and awareness."

"I am a qualified counsellor working with all age groups with a particular interest in children, young people and families. It may be that your child or young person is struggling with school right now, maybe it is hard for them to make friends, to stick to the rules, they may often be in trouble, try to avoid going to school, talk of feeling anxious- all of these things can be explored in counselling. As a former teacher, I have a real understanding of how complex life can be when growing up and sometimes school can feel like it needs to be navigated rather than enjoyed.  This can put a real strain on relationships at home. "

"Well done on taking the most difficult decision to access counselling support. Sometimes we feel totally overwhelmed by the challenges in life and seeking professional help seems like a momentous decision. However, when in crisis we need more than talking to our friends and family who may not always know how to listen without giving well meaning advice or simply may not know what to say. You may be feeling isolated and lonely, frightened or anxious. You may have temporarily lost your way. I will ensure that you are carefully listened to and I will accept you as you are, without judgement. Together we will find a way forward."
