I qualified in Humanistic Therapeutic counselling and Trauma Therapy and I work from my core Person Centred beliefs and training that you have within you what it is you need to be all of who you truly are.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and The National Counselling Society.

I hold a basic DBS certificate and I undertake regular clinical supervision with a registered supervisor.

I offer both long and short term counselling.

Fundamental to how I offer counselling is the provision of a safe, confidential and non judgemental space for you to explore any aspects of your life, your feelings, your thoughts, your relationships or experiences that you feel may be impacting or have impacted on your mental, emotional and physical well being. In this process I aim to work with you, to hear you, to be with you as you journey towards yourself, your experiences and your thoughts and feelings. Exploring in our work together where and how you may feel impeded by how you feel about yourself, others and your experiences, how you feel about choice and your sense of safety in yourself and in your life, so that you may work towards becoming more understanding and accepting of yourself and to finding the best ways forward in your life.

If you have not experienced counselling before you may not know what to expect:

Following your inquiry I aim to reply within 24 hours.

I offer a free initial session, in person, online or by phone, to offer you information about my style of counselling, how I protect your privacy and to discuss what you may be hoping for from counselling for you to see how you feel talking with me and if it is what you are looking for.

For online and phone sessions I will forward information about safe working.

If you decide that you would like to proceed we can discuss if you would prefer to meet in person, on phone or online and we can book in an appointment. I will also ask to take some personal details and I will provide written details of our working agreement and privacy policy for you to sign and keep.

Sessions are 60 minutes, however if you feel you need to discuss more or less time we can discuss.
