I am a qualified and accredited counsellor. Talking to me will give you the opportunity to talk to someone separate from your family, friends or work colleagues. I am not here to tell you what to do, give you my opinion, or judge you. I am here to really listen to you, and help you express and understand your true thoughts and feelings in a safe space.

 Perhaps you feel lost in life, and struggle to find happiness or fulfilment. You might have anger issues or feel you can’t express your genuine emotions. Do you feel you put everyone else before yourself and want to change that, and be the central character in your own life for a change? Perhaps you are struggling in your relationships, yet can’t pinpoint why, are you walking on eggshells and exhausted doing this day after day ?

You may feel anxious, have a low mood, feel depressed, or under stress. You might feel angry, but not know why. Perhaps you have lost direction in life and want to find your path again.

 Many people get to a stage in life and feel something is missing, that they are not their true selves. When we are young, we tend to adapt our behaviour to suit our caregivers, schools, friendship groups etc. we may become people pleasers to be popular or supress parts of ourselves to fit in. Together we can explore these learned patterns of behaviour, and help you change them for more positive patterns to move forward in life and be happier.

I trained in a wide variety of counselling skills, so I can adapt each session to your unique goals and concerns for therapy.

Not everyone finds it easy to access and express their thoughts and emotions, so I also use cards, sand tray, imagery or objects which clients find brilliant to help with the process. Counselling is a collaboration, and we work together to find what works best for you.

 I also offer couples and relationship counselling, this could be to help a couple improve their relationship, by helping couples become aware of their differing communication styles, understand each other better, in order to improve their relationships.

 It could be to facilitate an amicable ending, if that is what the couple have already decided to do. 

Clients tell me I am easy to talk to, I have been through life’s highs and lows myself, which I feel gives  gives me wisdom and experience to bring to your sessions.

Thank you so much for all the help, advice and support you've given me, it has made such a difference
