Sharing what is going on for you, with someone who is not a friend or family member, can allow you to gain a new and fresh perspective about whatever is causing you difficulty.

​

Counselling offers you the time and space to explore whatever it is that you bring, in a non-judgemental, supportive and respectful environment. 

​

It is not about giving advice; I will help you to find your answers and a way forward.

I believe we all have the potential to ultimately overcome our difficulties and find new ways of being. 

​

I am a humanistic counsellor and work within a Gestalt framework, integrating approaches such as cognitive-behaviour therapy and mindfulness, depending on your needs and goals. I can help you develop awareness of your whole experience - your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions - in the 'here and now'.

​

When you have this insight you are better able to understand your patterns of relating to others and the world around you. Some patterns may be helpful; some may be preventing you from leading a satisfying life. From this new perspective, you are better able to discover new opportunities and make positive choices and changes, resulting in greater personal fulfilment and growth.

​

My approach is sensitive, warm, creative and accepting. Seeing a counsellor may feel daunting; I offer a safe, open and confidential space where you will be seen, heard and understood.

​

I support people who experience a range of difficulties, including:

​

  • anxiety

  • low mood

  • depression

  • relationship issues

  • family issues

  • loss and bereavement

  • work-related stress

  • low self-esteem or confidence

  • challenging life transitions or changes

  • illness or disability

  • issues arising from autism spectrum conditions

  • bullying

  • difficulties managing anger

  • trauma

​

Counselling support can be short-term (e.g. 6-12 sessions) or long-term. Together, we can explore your needs and the issues you bring, and decide what is best for you.

​

I  adapt my approach to meet the needs of autistic clients.
