I am available 8am-7pm Monday to Thursdays and on Friday mornings. I also work occasionally on Saturday mornings.

I am qualified to degree level in Person Centred Counselling which means that I aim to work with warmth, understanding and without judgement. The development of a trusting relationship is fundamental to the effectiveness of our work together.

I have worked in a University counselling service, counselled with the Teens and Toddlers project and volunteered for The Listening Centre (a low-cost adult counselling service).

Before qualifying as a Counsellor, I trained as a Cost and Management Accountant and worked as a Management Consultant implementing large I.T. systems, as an employee and then employer. 

 I am an Accredited member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ) and adhere to their ethical framework for good practice. My practice is overseen by a qualified Clinical Supervisor and I continually refresh my counselling skills and knowledge through Continuing Professional Development.

I value the use of creativity and embrace different forms of Person Centred expression which can make the counselling process more personal and effective.  In addition to Talking Therapy, I offer Brain Spotting and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

I offer a 15 minute Zoom or phone session, free of charge and before an assessment is booked, when we can discuss any questions you may have.

Our first appointment usually lasts around 1.5 hours.  This is a time to understand what brings you to counselling, to consider your aspirations and goals and how often you would like to attend. It is very much an exploratory session and an opportunity to find out how we feel working together.
