About Me

I am a highly experienced Relate Certified Counsellor and am an Accredited and Registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. Additionally I hold a Post-graduate Diploma in Systemic Practice with Couples and Families.

With over twenty years' experience, I have worked with couples, individuals and families for thousands of hours.
Over 90% of my clients report feeling better about themselves and their problems following counselling. People say they find me 'professional'. 'easy to talk to', 'warm and responsive with a sense of humour'. Short or long-term counselling is undertaken according to people's needs.

My Approach

Theoretically my approach is largely systemic, based on a psychodynamic training and includes the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Ethically, I adhere to the BACP Code of Practice and therefore, comply with their supervision and continuing professional development requirements.

My Services

I counsel individuals, couples and families from different backgrounds who are now, or in the past have been, in opposite or same-sex relationships.

The issues covered may include: affairs, divorce, relationship break-down, low self-esteem and confidence-building, money, emotional, physical or sexual abuse, bereavement, anger, depression, anxiety, work related stress, parenting, family, addiction and re-formed families.

When life is not going well, we can experience feelings of depression and anger together with sleep disturbance. These symptoms indicate that we could benefit from counselling. Hour-long counselling sessions provide an opportunity to talk things through in a relaxed, neutral environment.

Through exploration, by looking at alternative perspectives and by practising simple CBT techniques, many people achieve a greater sense of their own ability to manage their lives more positively.
