Welcome to my website and thank you for making your first step on your counselling journey.
The thought of counselling can be concerning for some. However rest assure that you will be in a safe non judgemental space where we only explore issues that you wish to discuss and at a pace comfortable for you.
You will be supported holistically enabling us to work together to further understand your frustrations and difficulties, as well as your strength and abilities.
Counselling can help to challenge unwanted behavioural pattens, thoughts or emotions and explore new possibilities.
You may want to work with me on an open ended basis or a a shorter period of time. I'm available for both.

How counselling helps:
Counselling gives you a safe, impartial and confidential space in which you can freely explore and find solutions for what is bothering you. Talking to a professional in a safe and confidential setting, safe in the knowledge that you'll be respectfully listened to and not judged is a liberating journey and one in which a great deal of clients have found invaluable.
The sessions are 50 minutes long and you'll welcome to work with me on an open ended basis or for a fixed time period. You decide what we talk about and the pace at which we do. For the first sessions we can discuss your presenting issues or spend time getting to know each other, what ever feels right for you. You can gain a better idea in this session whether or not you want to move forward with me as your counsellor.
What benefits can be expected from counselling:
Benefits will vary from person to person. However on average my client scores have increased by 4 points, according to the the two recognised well being assessments GAD7 and PHQ9. These are industry approved anxiety and depression assessment that counsellors use to monitor the progress of their clients mental health.
