I currently have space for new clients & look forward to working with you.   My hours are flexible, but I prefer to offer sessions Tuesday - Thursday.  Evening appointments are available.  

I've been practicing as an integrative counsellor since 2011 and have worked as a Counsellor for Noah's Ark Counselling Centre in Halifax, Calderdale Women Centre and most recently spent 7 years as School Counsellor at Bradford Grammar School counselling staff and students (young people aged 11 -18).  Prior to this I was a Victim Liaison Officer with The Probation Service in Halifax working with victims of violent and sexual offences. I am currently available to work with adults & young people face-to-face or online in the Calderdale area. I am based in a tranquil & rural setting (with plans to offer outdoor walking/talking therapy in the future). I also work online or via telephone throughout the UK and for Employee Assistance Programmes.  References & client feedback are available on request.  

My counselling approach is integrative meaning I draw upon several different theories. It is fundamentally Humanistic  and Person Centred but underpinned by an understanding of Gestalt, Transactional Analysis & Psychodynamic theories. My understanding of Gestalt theory enables me to be more imaginative and creative in my work. My practice is based on my belief in the self actualisation process and our ability to grow, change and develop towards reaching our full potential in life. I am open to working with any presenting problem or issue - but my specialism & passion is in supporting and empowering  women and young people.  I have a particular interest in helping women move on after divorce & separation, and recovering from emotional, physical, financial or  narcissistic abuse.  

Initially I offer six sessions, followed by a review.  The first is an initial assessment & allows us to explore the presenting issues and decide whether we can work together effectively.  My fees are £55.00 per session but I charge a reduced rate of £45.00 for the initial assessment.  I also offer a free half hour telephone consultation before booking.  Do give me a call or drop me an email & we can discuss your requirements.
