Hello and welcome, I have been a counsellor for over sixteen years working with young people (11+), adults & relationships & in most areas of mental health and low mood so, if you're feeling anxious, flat or stressed, counselling could help.  

Anger can cover a mix of emotions including jealousy and fear and it destroys relationships whereas counselling could help you as an individual or couple, providing responsibility is taken for your own actions and behaviours.  

Loss, doesn’t always mean bereavement but the impact can be just as traumatic - counselling can help you explore the impact on you and what’s next - adjust, move on and / or accept - whatever it is that you need.

Asking for help can be so difficult especially when dealing with strong emotions such as jealousy, anger, stress, anxiety, fear, panic and / or depression.  

Coming for counselling can feel like a last option - after all, we all have mates to talk to but, when we feel overwhelmed, lost or alone or are handling a life change, it can feel too hard to talk to family or friends (don’t want to burden them) about this also because they are each likely to have their own view, opinion or agenda on what you do next.  

This can add even more to the stress of dealing with issues such as divorce, illness, redundancy or retirement or even I am bored, what do I do now? 

Counselling will explore changes with you and this will help you gain the clarity you need to enable you to find the solution that suits you.

I will offer you a caring, empathic, compassionate, safe space in our session and will treat whatever you bring with confidence (within safeguarding guidelines) and respect. 

I came to counselling later in life but I have worked for Relate for ten years and been in private practice since 2006 - counselling adults, teenagers (11+) relationships and groups - my services are available to you, wherever you are, online or by telephone.  

I also provide some face to face appointments each week, COVID permitting, in Runcorn (5 miles from junctions 11 & 12, M56).

How will I do this?   I am an integrative counsellor which in my case, means I use a mix of person centred, psychodynamic and TA counselling depending on your needs (that means I can work with you on issues from the past, present or even fears for the future).

As well as my counselling qualifications, I have both the Diploma and Practitioner qualification in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the Diploma in Mindfulness. All this means I can tailor my service to better meet your needs.

About Me - Counselling since 2006, joined Relate in 2011 and with them, trained to work with young people (11+), couples / relationships.  I’ve also worked in secondary schools.

I was a facilitator working with Separated Parents Information Programme (SPIP) and more recently a facilitator for the Choose To Change programme, working with male perpetrators of domestic violence so I have lots of experience with children and parents on divorce and separation and on the different forms of abusive behaviour.

I am happy to work with adults, teenagers, couples or groups.

I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Clincal Supervision, I am an integrative supervisor, offering online, phone or face to face supervision in WA7 with experienced or new counsellors.  I also supervise small, online groups, a maximum of six attendees, who have a mix of modalities & experience

 I offer supervision to experienced and trainee counsellors.  I offer one to one supervision online, by phone or in WA7 and via one of two, online, small supervision groups:

One to one supervision, online, by phone, in WA7 or a mixture if needed, £45 for one hour or £60 for ninety minutes.

Small group supervision, online - 2nd & 4th Tuesday of the month for one hour at 1pm - one hour session £15 

Small group supervision, online - from March, on either Wednesday morning or Thursday afternoon and every four weeks - two hours for £25 - would your preference be Wednesday or Thursday?  Let me know your preference - this will not obligate you.

For either one to one or small supervision group - please contact me to express interest, ask questions or book a place.  

I have a payment at time of booking policy - this confirms the session whether for counselling or supervision.

I also offer single session therapy - this is up to 100 minutes on one topic, to look at an issue in-depth and the aim would be to consider or even create an action plan for next steps - this is not suitable for addictions.
