About me and my therapy practice

Making the decision to see a counsellor can feel like a big step especially if this is the first time you’ve done so. As a Relate qualified couples  counsellor I offer a safe, confidential and compassionate space in which to build a trusting, supportive relationship. From here we can explore any issues and concerns you are facing and move forward in a positive way that is right for you.

I have worked with a diverse range of couples and individuals wanting to explore relationship and personal issues.

You may be considering counselling for a number of reasons. As well as couples, I offer individual counselling to support with issues such as relationship problems, family issues, communication difficulties, relationship breakdown, separating and work-related stress/anxiety.

I have over 10 years’ experience in the field, including Samaritans supporting people at times of crisis and working for Relate. I have worked with couples and individuals face to face, over zoom, by text and telephone. I am a Registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and NCPS.


Practice description

Throughout my years of experience as a relationship counsellor I have worked with couples and individuals facing a huge variety of difficulties. Maybe you feel worn down by a repetitive pattern or arguing, or a sense of drifting apart, loss of sexual interest, an affair or betrayal. Or perhaps you are struggling to come to terms with the recent ending of a relationship or are considering leaving a relationship and would like some support.

We will work together to understand your situation more clearly and to develop a toolkit of strategies that can help create the positive change you are looking for.

If you would like to focus on one specific issue or have financial constraint’s I am also trained and can offer Single Session Therapy sessions and 30 minute telephone/zoom calls.


My first session

During an initial free phone call, we will discuss what has brought you to counselling and what changes you are hoping to make. Also, whether therapy is suitable and importantly whether I am the right counsellor for you. There is no obligation, you can decide in your own time.

Ongoing sessions are 50 minutes and can be held either weekly or fortnightly over zoom or by telephone.

Single Session Therapy sessions are for 60 minutes over zoom or by telephone.

30-minute calls can be either by telephone or zoom.

There is no fixed number of sessions. Some clients need only a few counselling sessions to achieve their goals, other issues may take several months to resolve. We can discuss and agree a plan together. When clients are coming to the end of their counselling, I also offer monthly ‘safety net’ sessions if that feels appropriate.
