How can I help?

I offer a space in which thoughts and feelings can be explored in a safe and confidential environment. I am non-judgemental and allow time to think about your situation differently. Being listened to in this way allows you to begin to become more conscious of thoughts and feelings, enabling you in time to make choices about how you wish to change.

• Talking allows deep exploration of the causes of emotional distress.
• This involves a regular commitment, sometimes over a lengthy period of time.
• Psychotherapy and counselling are offered to anyone regardless of their age, race, religion or outlook.

I am highly qualified with over 13 years of experience and I am a registered member of UKCP.

Why counselling or psychotherapy?

Counselling is dealing with the more immediate issues that life throws at us, counselling is supportive and offers a way of resolving something that may be specific to now.

Psychotherapy is more than this, it is about creating a way of understanding that sometimes our self limiting ways of thinking and feeling and our behavioural responses have a detrimental affect upon the way we live our lives. I help you use the insight I will give you to modify self defeating ways
of being that will in turn create a positive change and aid personal development.

The need:

Anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, anger issues, bereavement, loss, trauma and difficulties at work are just some of the many concerns that can be looked at together.

I work with couples and individuals for both long and short terms work.

Sessions are for 50 minutes, after an initial assessment which could last up to 1 1/2 hours.
