I have availability online. Please contact me for more details, thank you.

I would welcome hearing from you about what's brought you to seek counselling. The way I work is led by the needs of each individual person, and I can bring my experience as a qualified counsellor and cognitive behavioural therapist to support you with what you'd like to focus on.

My experience includes working in the NHS both as a counsellor and CBT therapist, and as a counsellor in specialist services helping people with the impact of sexual and domestic abuse;  bereavement and in frontline work.

I offer a collaborative and grounded working relationship where you can expect a safe and respectful place to explore your emotions and experiences and feel less alone with any problems you are facing.  

We can  find ways for you can re-connect with your existing resources; develop new perspectives and techniques and address any unhelpful patterns, if that's what you'd like to do.  

It is important to me, that you can achieve change that is meaningful to you and I will support you with your focus for counselling as you see it.

I have experience working with:

anxiety

depression

trauma and PTSD

 low self esteem

experiences of abuse and sexual violence in childhood or adulthood

relationship and family problems

work related problems

bereavement and loss

life changes and transitions

loneliness and isolation

'inner critic'

changing unhelpful or unwanted patterns

anger

self harm

substance and alcohol use

panic attacks

obsessive compulsive disorder

phobias

health and social anxiety

I currently offer online sessions on Zoom or Teams on some week days and evenings.

The sessions are 50 minutes long and generally at the same time each week though I can offer some flexibility.

I can offer shorter or longer term work.  

I am an accredited member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and adhere to its code of ethics.

This initial conversation would be more of a chance to meet and to see if you wished to work with me,  rather than a first counselling session.  You may have some questions for me, and I would be happy to answer them.
