I provide counselling for a range of everyday life issues such as relationship difficulties, bullying, lack of self-confidence, financial worries, depression, stress and anxiety.
I offer a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to talk over whatever's troubling you, either as an individual (£70) or as a couple (£85). I am also a clinical supervisor (£60). Sometimes, people think their problems aren't big enough to warrant counselling, or are too big for someone else to cope with, but if there’s something that’s getting in the way of you leading your life the way you want, we can look at that together. Or there may be one particular event in your life which is affecting you which we can explore so you get a good understanding of how it affects you, and the changes you might like to make.

I have been working for over 21 years with people who have a wide range of issues including, relationship and work problems, low self esteem, addictions and other forms of self harm, abuse, eating disorders, bereavement as well as people who suffer from stress and anxiety or feel low, depressed and suicidal. I am also qualified to work with couples and groups about relationships. Most of my training and work as a counsellor has been about really learning to listen to people, hearing the ‘music’ behind their words and sensing their deepest feelings, hurts, joys and fears as it is then that therapeutic healing can occur.

I will focus on building a non-judgmental relationship, which is both candid and emotionally real.
There are many reasons you may be thinking about seeking counselling. Perhaps you feel continually anxious for reasons you can't quite locate, or are aware of crushingly low moods too much of the time. You may be undergoing the loss of a loved one, or a job; facing relationship difficulties, or going through some other significant change in your life which has taken you into uncharted territory. It may be that you are being discriminated against, abused or bullied, or that circumstances have left you isolated. If you want to find you inner strength, to renew your sense of purpose, and solve problems, I can help.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
