I am an experienced, qualified Humanistic counsellor and I provide a compassionate, common-sense approach.  My counselling is informed by Person-Centred, Gestalt, Existential, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Solution Focused theories.

 

I provide short and long-term therapy, tailored to individual needs.

I offer you an empathic, respectful and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

New to counselling therapy? You may be feeling unsure, ashamed or anxious about seeking professional help; this is completely okay and understandable. By visiting my website, you have taken the first step.

 

The second step is for us to schedule an appointment to meet; this is an opportunity for us to set aside some time for you to describe the difficulties you are facing. I can further explain how I may be able to support you. I hope that this will help you to decide if you would benefit from counselling; please be assured, there will be no obligation on your part to book further sessions.

 

Returning to counselling therapy? When we meet I will be interested to understand what worked well with your experiences of counselling in the past - and anything that you would like to be different this time. From this point, we can collaboratively agree the structure for future sessions for the issues that you want to address.
