I am a qualified Integrative counsellor and offer a warm and non-judgemental space for you to explore your difficulties. I work in a collaborative and non-directive way, meaning that I will not tell you what to do, but will work alongside you to explore and overcome difficulties that are unique to you and your story, at your own pace.

​

At some point in our lives, we may all experience a feeling of being lost, overwhelmed, or stuck within life’s limitations or past experiences and events. These feelings can impact our daily lives, in our work, relationships and ultimately our happiness. We may feel a lack of fulfilment, sadness or shame and feel that this is preventing us from enjoying life. We may feel limited or oppressed through our circumstances and feel unable to make choices. Understanding our emotional needs through the process of counselling and self-reflection can help to gain an awareness and greater acceptance of who we are and where we are headed. Counselling can help us to understand our unique place in the world and our interactions and relationships within it.

I currently offer telephone and online video counselling through Zoom. I will try to get back in contact within 24hrs to arrange a set time for me to call. This initial consultation will be around twenty minutes and is free of charge. It allows us time to work out
whether my way of working is suitable for you.

I understand that accessing counselling can be a significant financial commitment and therefore there is no expectation on how often we should meet. It may suit you to meet weekly, fortnightly, or even monthly, depending on your situation and budget. You may wish to start more regularly and lessen the frequency over time.
