About me and my therapy practice
Are you struggling? Do you feel low, upset or anxious? Are you finding it tough dealing with loss, grief or change? I support people with many of these issues. It may be bereavement or other life events causing stress, worry, sadness or depression. Perhaps the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of a job, change in circumstances or simply feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost in life itself. I also deal with men's issues as they are often more reluctant to seek help but are seen as in the highest risk groups for anxiety and burnout. I also support many LGBT clients.
I am a Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ Accredited Integrative Counsellor and Therapist with a Person Centred foundation. As a member of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, I follow its Ethical Framework. This ensures counsellors and therapists keep the wellbeing and safety of clients at the core of their practice. I keep up to date in my skills and competencies with regular CPD training. As with all therapists, I have regular supervision and am fully insured.
I offer both in person and online therapy, with further qualifications in online counselling and am a registered member of ACTO - the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online. I also work with people outdoors as I am a great believer in the healing power of nature. In all situations, you can be assured of high quality commitment, respect, attention and privacy. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable, safe and heard.
Practice description
I am an Integrative therapist with a Person Centred foundation. What does this mean? Basically, I believe you know yourself best but at the moment you're probably feeling anxious, lost or uncertain. By observing and understanding your concerns, I can work with you to explore and work through whatever is on your mind and find a path ahead. I believe this approach helps people feel more empowered and can lead to profound change. As an Integrative Counsellor and Therapist, I draw on various skills and approaches depending on what works best for you. It is important that I work alongside you to understand your issues, needs and, if appropriate, your goals. Whatever the approach, I am there to help you explore, reflect and better understand what’s going on for you and how we can make things better.
My first session
I understand you may be feeling nervous or unsure about what to expect and that is okay. I understand.
I offer a free 30-minute phone or online consultation to discuss your needs and if I am best placed to support you. If you feel it is right for you, then we can book our first session where we can explore a way forward that suits you. The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ rightly insists that we make an agreement together from the start and this is to ensure that I am meeting your expectations and abiding by its Ethical Framework.
Our first session will give us a chance to get to know each other better and explore how we may work together. I work in a way that best suits you. It may be that you just need a safe and quiet space to unpack and explore feelings that are troubling you. It may be that you want to make a change or challenge your way of thinking to be the best version of yourself. Either way, I offer a secure, non-judgemental and respectful space for us to work together.

About me and my therapy practice
Are you struggling with change, anxiety or loss? Are you finding life overwhelming at the moment and hard to navigate? Feeling worried or pretty low? I'm here to help. I support many people dealing with bereavement and grief but also wider issues concerning loss and change that may lead to worries or deeper depression. This grief over a loved one, the end of a relationship, loss of a job, change in circumstances or simply feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost in life itself. I also deal with men's issues as men often more reluctant to seek help but are often seen as in the highest risk groups for anxiety and burnout. I also support many LGBTQ clients.
