Flexible appointments either face to face or online to young people (age 16 -18 with parental consent) and adults for a variety of issues; depression, stress & anxiety, relationships, anger, self-esteem, unresolved childhood issues, trauma, bereavement, grief and loss, faith issues.
Let's face it, life can be a struggle. As we do our best to navigate our way through there are times when we come to the end of our own resources. It's ok to ask for help and that might be very thing that gives you a different perspective on your situation. Your circumstances may not change but how you think about them can. You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from counselling. You may feel that your life is not as you expected it to be. Counselling can give you the space to visualise your dreams and understand the parts that have been holding you back from living your best life.

I am qualified to Foundation Degree level & have BACP Accreditation (National Professional Ethical Body). For over 20+ years, I worked as a Registered Nurse in acute hospitals & the hospice setting. Following a time of ill health, I retrained as a counsellor. I am now able to use this nursing experience to enhance what I offer in the counselling room. I am especially passionate about supporting clients with loss or facing distressing situations within the home or outside of it.

My specialisms are in the areas of work related stress (including imposter syndrome) and anxiety and depression.
I work with individuals (18+) who are seeking to increase their self awareness and to better understand how they think, feel and act. My therapeutic approach can help you take notice of unhelpful relational patterns that feel automatic and cause distress, worry and self doubt. As you progress in therapy, you will feel more able to respond to stressors with greater flexibility and confidence. This frees you up to think and act in a manner that serves your needs better and helps you achieve the sustainable balance you seek.
