A warm hello to you, as you search for support. The search itself can be stressful, on top of whatever you're already struggling with. When life is difficult, some things can be too hard or futile to carry alone. 20 years of experience has consistently proven to me (and my clients) that talking with someone trained to really listen can make a profound difference. I’ve been accompanying people for a long time. I've heard, understood, supported and facilitated a lot. It's an honour to be someone you can lean on, who you can risk being honest with. I'm there as you find your way to a steadier, clearer, more peaceful sense of yourself.
I've worked with a wide range of human struggles (a variety listed below). Simply put, I offer a level of attention, understanding, acceptance, and realness that is often hard to find in everyday life. This kind of presence is powerful. It can keep some people afloat, and for others it can lead to greater authenticity and meaningful, lasting change.
Finding the right counsellor can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s me or someone else, I really hope you find the support you need. I offer a free, no-obligation call or meeting so you can get a sense of me and whether I might be a good fit for you. You’re very welcome to reach out for an initial conversation, and we can take it from there, at your pace.

My fee ranges from £45 - £90. It's my way of trying to meet the variety of people's financial positions. Ideally I'd like as many people as possible to be able to access counselling with an experienced practitioner. There's no need to justify your fee, and I can provide a guide if that's helpful.

I have to select some 'Top Specialities', which feels a bit contrived if I'm honest, though I do get it may aid your search. Sometimes people come to me with specific issues, and other times something can just feel off, or confusing. However you come, my experience has been that there can be some swift and even fulsome benefits relatively quickly, even if some work may understandably need time.

I do hope the jargon here is digestable enough: The Person-Centred approach is in the Humanistic branch of talking therapies. Unlike some approaches, this approach emerged as a result of extensive reseach into what actually facilitated change in people. It is non-directive in spirit, yet in practice you can feel me very actively engaged in your processing. This is a deeply human tonic.
