About

Are you suffering from anxiety and depression, feeling sad or angry at events in your life, having difficulty in relationships at home or work, or just finding it difficult to cope at the moment? If you need to talk and be really listened to, I can offer a safe, non-judgmental environment in which we can explore your difficulties together.

My own personal journey into counselling as a profession, started many years ago when I began to explore how specific relaxation therapies helped people suffering from anxiety and stress-related problems. I trained in holistic therapies including massage, and aromatherapy and gained detailed knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the human body.

I became aware that people presenting with physical problems were storing “stresses” in different parts of their bodies due to emotional difficulties. It was this that led me into the study of “talking therapies”.

It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is central to effective therapy. I, therefore, offer an initial assessment session (by telephone) so that you can have the opportunity to talk with me, ask any questions you may have, and get a feel for how it might be for us to work together. We will work in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental way to assess where you are currently, what you would like to be different about your life, and to agree on realistic and specific goals to help you move forward.
