Finding the right counsellor for you is crucial in order for therapy to be effective and to help you make lasting changes. I offer a free initial assessment. Affordable prices. I work in a broad way. I believe humour is essential in therapy & is often the thing that keeps us going through the darkness. I provide a safe space, in a non-judgemental environment, where people have the freedom to explore themselves. I am warm and I work at my client's pace in a gentle yet challenging manner.

Experience and approach:

I am an accredited member of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I work with many issues, including, shame, anger, anxiety, depression, trauma and low self-esteem. See below for more details. I have worked with clients in deep distress. I'm very understanding, empathic, and maintain confidentiality. I realise it is difficult for people to open up but I believe counselling can make a difference. I am an integrative counsellor and use a variety of theoretical models. This collaborative approach enables me to work in a way that suits each individual client.
