Maya Angelou

We can often find ourselves feeling alone, distressed, overwhelmed, unfulfilled and unable to cope with difficult periods in our lives. Making time for yourself through personal counselling can help you value your experiences, make sense of your thoughts and feelings, actions and reactions.

I am here to listen and support you and help you to make positive changes in your life. My aim as a counsellor is to help you explore whatever difficulties you may be experiencing. My reflective and confidential practice provides a warm empathic understanding and non-judgemental space where you can gently explore ways to bring meaning, understanding, awareness and hope into your life.

My counselling practice provides professional qualified interventions that deal with many problems. I am a fully qualified Counsellor and a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor with a person-centred background, and I work in an integrative way bringing a variety of counselling approaches together that suit the needs of individual clients. As well as running my own private practice, I work in public health and charity settings. I have a solid background working in a secondary and Sixth Form school counselling students.

I offer 50 minute one to one counselling on a short or long term basis. I regularly review our work together to make sure you are getting what you need out of the therapeutic process.

To book a free 30 minute initial consultation or if you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I am here to listen.
