Sometimes we need to talk. Or unload. Or work out what needs to change. Sometimes we need to do this with someone who's NOT family or a friend or colleague - someone who can listen deeply and confidentially, with fresh ears - with no bias or judgement. Someone who's steady, accepting and unshockable. What does counselling with me look like? Well, there's no one-size-fits-all. I will tailor it to your needs, session by session. You may have clear objectives, or none at all. It's all ok. We can work it out. I'll certainly want to get to know YOU as a human being, not just the 'issue' you're bringing.

Deciding to have counselling's a massive step. But if you're reading this, then you probably have the courage to make that commitment. If you choose me as your therapist, I promise that I'll build on that courage and help you. I will offer you the safe, regular space to explore what's difficult - at the pace YOU want to explore it.
I offer a safe, deeply grounded and non-judgemental space - either online or face-to-face - with an emphasis on mindful acceptance and the opening up of perspectives. Contact me for a free, no-obligation chat to see if I'm the right therapist for you.
