Warm, confidential support

Change comes from within, said the caterpillar to the butterfly

Welcome

A calm, welcoming place to talk through what is troubling you.

I work with individuals and couples, face-to-face and online. I believe that change comes from within and I will help you to work through and process the issues facing you.

If you are feeling confused, angry, worried, anxious, scared, lonely, depressed or struggling with relationship issues, counselling can help.

Talking through what is troubling you, can bring a sense of relief. Counselling has the potential to bring about significant change to your life which can lead to positive impacts on your self-confidence and relationships.

This is by providing the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how you relate to others and why you behave and feel how you do in certain situations.

Face-to-face and online

A confidential space, where you will feel listened to and heard.

Talking to a counsellor can give you better clarity, enabling you to make different choices and focus on the changes you would like to make.

The First Session

I offer prospective clients an initial session. This gives us both the opportunity of considering whether we wish to work together. It is important to feel comfortable with your counsellor. If we decide to work together we will arrange a time for a regular weekly session.

Availability & Ongoing Sessions

Payment in full is required at the end of each session, either by cash or bank transfer.

Weekdays, morning, afternoon and evening.

We will usually meet weekly, on the same day and at the same time.

This varies, from short-term to longer-term work. I suggest a minimum of 6 sessions but we will continue with the sessions (if you are comfortable to do so) to work through what you have identified as troubling you.

Training & Qualifications

Experienced, ethical support

An accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and I adhere to their ethical guidelines. I also hold professional indemnity insurance and have a DBS certificate.

I have a Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic counselling and a Diploma in Relationship counselling. This means I have training in various modalities; and will use tools and different ways of working that I consider most helpful to you. This is because we are all individuals, therefore what may suit one client may not necessarily suit another.

Experience in counselling adults (18yrs plus) on a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family difficulties, relationship difficulties, bereavement, infant loss, trauma, low self-esteem and low confidence.
