I am an experienced counsellor working individually with adults across the UK.  I work with a range of issues including grief, loss, anxiety, change, relationships and daily life struggles.  

I have a special interest in supporting people impacted by Cancer - whether you are dealing with a diagnosis yourself, or supporting someone else through theirs.

How will counselling help you?:

- You are not alone. Feeling supported alleviates the sense of isolation that often accompanies personal struggles.    

- Feeling relieved.  Sharing your problems leaves you feeling emotionally lighter and more able to cope in your daily life.

- Change and hope.  Gaining a deeper understanding of your situation empowers you to identify possible changes you can make, bringing hope for a more positive outlook on your life and your ability to overcome difficulties.

- Healthy coping mechanisms.  Counselling equips you with tools and skills that enable you to navigate daily stresses and challenges more effectively.  This reduces feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, improving your overall wellbeing.

Through my own personal experience of a cancer diagnosis, I am familiar with the fear, anxiety and chaos that comes with having your normal life instantly turned upside down.  Counselling helped me through a very challenging time, keeping me balanced and more settled in myself. Having somewhere to offload the worries and feelings I couldn’t share with the loved ones I wanted to protect, enabled me to feel more engaged with family and daily life.

I would like to support you through your own experience, because I know what a difference counselling can make.

I have been in private practice since 2017.

What is it like to work with me? -  We work together to understand the issues or struggles you are facing, to find some clarity, perspective and a way forward. 

Advice? - You are the expert on your own feelings and experiences, and any changes you need to make to move forward in your life. I don't give you advice, but I do help you to work through all of the stuff that gets in the way so that you start to find your own answers.

That’s why our relationship is so important. It takes time to build trust in another person to allow yourself to feel safe enough to look at some really difficult and painful things. I aim to offer you the kind of relationship that hopefully enables you to do that.

How I offer counselling - I am experienced in working face-to-face, online and by telephone. You can have sessions purely in one way, or a combination – whatever works best for you. I run my practice from a private space in my home in a quiet village location near Marlborough in Wiltshire.  

Short-term or Long-term - We may work together for just a few weeks (6-12 weeks), or longer term.  We will review regularly to see how the counselling is going and will work together towards a final session when you feel ready.  

The First Session - Our first session is an opportunity for us to talk about what is troubling you, to discuss in more detail your needs and hopes, and how we might take things from there. This session will also give us a sense of what it would be like to work together. 

 There is no commitment to continue beyond the first session - it is important that we feel comfortable with one another and clear about the support I can offer you for the issues that you want to work through.

I understand how daunting it can be to ask for help. It is important that you choose someone you can connect with and who feels right for you.  You are welcome to email me if you would like to take that first step.
