I have experienced therapy from both sides of the equation and, like you, have struggled with my own difficulties. My experience and training allows me to offer you a place to safely explore your vulnerabilities and find the right way forward for you. It's OK to not be OK... Everyone struggles sometimes, and when we are struggling, one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves is to talk to someone about our struggles. My aim is to help clients with a wide range of difficulties. My aim is to help *you*. I firmly believe that all of us have within us the potential to develop and become who we are supposed to be. Sometimes it takes a little digging and self-exploration to find our way to that goal, and I offer a warm, non-judgemental space for you to do this. I work mainly with adults, helping you to explore your own story and find the way forward that most meets your needs. I am BACP registered and I'm trained in Person Centred and Emotion Focused therapy. I have experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, family difficulties, stress, trauma, historical abuse, relationship difficulties, addiction problems, and self-esteem issues. I see individual adults for both short and long-term counselling or psychotherapy, this is entirely dependent on your own goals and wishes. Many clients have issues that can be helped in just a few sessions, other clients have more complex issues and want to leave the number of sessions open. This is something we will discuss and agree at your initial session, and revisit regularly as we move forward. You can contact me by email or by telephone. If you are directed to voicemail please feel free to leave a message, in confidence, with your name, your telephone number, and when is the best time to call. I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
