At the moment I can offer sessions on Tuesdays.

I am a warm and empathic person, offering a safe and comfortable space for you to be attended to in depth and with compassion. I am situated in the centre of Winchester.

In my approach I am guided by Humanistic values and a deep respect for the power of the individual to grow and develop when provided with a secure therapeutic relationship. I believe that it is possible for you to deepen your understanding of yourself through exploration of feelings and experiences, always going at the right pace for you.

I can offer both short (six sessions) and longer term, open ended counselling.

 I qualified in 2017 and have been working in a voluntary capacity at The Olive Branch, Winchester for the last three years alongside my private practice. I have also completed a training with Jan Day, called 'The Art of Being' which focussed on intimacy and sexuality within relationships.

I have experience of working with issues of bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma, depression, work place issues, and attachment difficulties. I am interested and have experience of working with those who have emotional difficulties connected to having attended boarding school.

Please feel free to phone or e mail me should you have any questions about the counselling I can offer.

Training, qualifications & experience

In 2017 I qualified in Transactional Analysis with Humanistic counselling (Merit) (Middlesex University)

I have extensive experience of working with children and families from 1988 - 2016

In 1988 I received a Certificate of Qualification in Social Work

In 1978 I received a Certificate in Education for teaching Primary School children.

I offer a free half hour consultation either face to face or by phone so that we can talk about how best I may be able to help you. 

Sessions last 50 minutes and are face to face only.

I work with all Adults (18+)

I can offer both short (six sessions) and longer term, open ended counselling.

I have trained in Transactional Analysis and draw upon many of the concepts and theories from this approach, and also use Integrative, Humanistic, Person Centred and Mindfulness in my work.

Most importantly, clients can feel that the space I offer is safe and confidential.  

In the first session I will complete an assessment with you and discuss what you hope to gain from counselling.
