When you don't know where to turn,
I'm here.
Change is an inevitable part of life and I believe that each of us are able to make the changes we desire, often we just need that space to reflect on what those are exactly, and a little support in recognising our potential.
I can offer a confidential, warm environment, and my style is empathetic, approachable and non-judgemental. I feel honoured to be part of the journey of self-discovery with each client I support.
I have a particular interest in working with clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and a sense of loss including bereavement. These issues can have a detrimental effect on our relationships with ourselves, as well as others.
Viewing each client as unique, I adopt an Integrative Approach to Counselling, the emphasis being on Person-Centred Therapy, while using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic models (see My Therapy for more information). I also draw attention on the influence and significance of your environment, different relationships and how you ‘fit’ into your world.
Therapy Works!

Did You Know?
