My working days are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.

I work face to face in Poundbury, Dorchester and online or by telephone throughout the UK.

Hello and welcome to my practice. My aim is to provide a trusting and confidential relationship in which to explore and process any problems or challenges you might be experiencing. There are no issues too big or too small, if they are holding you back from living a fulfilling and satisfying life, they are worth talking about. Counselling provides a non-judgemental, non-biased space to do this, allowing for and encouraging fresh perspectives, providing an opportunity to untangle complicated thoughts and feelings, to promote healing, develop self-awareness and empower and initiate change if necessary.

The Humanistic Integrative approach I use combines different theories, allowing me to adapt to your unique circumstances. I follow your lead and ensure that the time is used to fit your pace, needs, and preferences. Regular reviews will make sure that sessions are mindful of where you feel the focus needs to be.

It can be daunting discussing your thoughts and feelings with a stranger and to ask for support in the first place. Evidence has shown that the relationship you build with your counsellor is key to a positive outcome, therefore I am happy to chat with you and answer any questions you might have and give you the opportunity to consider if we are a good fit.

Our first session will involve going through the counselling agreement together and then completing a simple assessment form. This is to help me gain a little context of your background and situation.
