ABOUT

My approach to therapy

I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Whilst I have a professional approach to counselling my manner is relaxed and down-to-earth. I am compassionate, caring, respectful and I can also be humorous. I see these as key ingredients of the therapeutic relationship.

Taking those first steps towards the help you need and deserve can feel daunting, but so too is living with sadness, depression, anger, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement and other problems that you may not feel safe or able to discuss with friends or family.

Talking about these things in a completely confidential space can help. My process is interactive and I like to work creatively in therapy, where appropriate, to encourage new ways of seeing things and gaining different perspectives. Not all situations can be changed but the way we feel about them can.

If you're experiencing any sort of emotional struggle you really don't have to navigate it alone. Talking about your inner world can feel scary and I'm aware how hard it can be to find the courage to share it. Three of the most common things I hear when working with clients are....

"why didn't I do this years ago?"

"why has no one told me this before"

"I think everyone should have therapy"

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor/ psychotherapist. I offer In Person, Telephone or Online therapy. I work from a quite and private ground floor room in the village of Chrishall where your confidentiality is assured. Free parking is always available directly outside.

I am also a clinical supervisor, supporting other counsellors in their client work and practice.
