Mostly weekday daytimes though some evening and weekend appointments may be available by arrangement.

I appreciate that putting time aside for this may impact your working day and 9 to 5 appointments may be difficult. It is important to me that this doesn't immediately stop you from getting support. I will consider early appointments perhaps 8.00am before your work starts, and evening appointments after it, up till 7.30pm.

Through my own lived experience, I know only too well some of the challenges of achieving or maintaining good mental and emotional health, and creating lasting change. But it is possible!

I have been a counsellor for over 20 years. I provide a comfortable and safe space where you can share and explore any situation with openness and honesty.

My approach helps you focus on here-and-now understanding of historic or current problematic situations, how you see yourself and others and how this all affects your thoughts, feelings and actions (and therefore, outcomes).

You will become clearer about what you want and explore what you can do to help you achieve that.

Clients become steadier and more relaxed, like themselves more, improve personal and work relationships, process and release difficult childhood memories, find expression and joy. They may learn to handle disppointment and loss as well as rebuild social networks, wake up without dread, and to priorities their own needs. And so much more.

I am happy to have a short free consultation on the phone or in person so you can ask any questions and consider if I may be the right counsellor for you and to help me see if I can help you. You can get in touch using the contact form on this profile page or through my website.

I work with care, respect and compassion to meet you wherever you are in your life, making sure you feel heard and validated so you gain understanding and confidence and be able to quickly get back on track.

Together we can build your insight, understanding and self-compassion so you can feel more able to go forward with whatever life holds for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I work face-to-face and online and can be quite flexible with times to best suit what you need. I can do some evening and weekend appointments so you don't need to ask for time off work.

Appointments are scheduled for 60 minutes. 90-minutes sessions also available, as well as discounts for block bookings. Details on my website.

I understand that some people may have reduced or limited income so please ask about concessionary rates based on your ability to pay.

During our short telephone consultation ahead of starting counselling, you can ask me about how I work, confidentiality issues, what may happen during your first session and anything else you feel may help you decide if you would like to work with me.

If you decide to go ahead, we can talk about where you will come for face-to-face sessions or how we can set up online appointments, and about how you will pay for your sessions. Payment is due at the time of each session, or at the first session if you block book sessions (five at a time) and pay in advance. You can pay online or in cash.
