I am a professional counsellor and have spent many years working as a senior mental health nurse within various sectors of the NHS, which has put me in touch with many different people and situations.  We are all different so I use a range of established techniques to tailor the therapy to your individual needs. It is through the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client where lasting change can really happen.

​

Counselling can benefit us all at some point in our lives.  Sometimes it feels as though life or our relationships are no longer working.  Sometimes we feel too lonely or scared to face it alone.  We may feel overwhelmed and out of control, meaning we change our behaviours to try and cope.  I commit to providing a confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you feel safe to openly explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences, develop self-awareness and be pro-active in your therapeutic process.

 

Life can throw anything at us, such as anxiety, depression, anger, conflict, stress at home or work (or both), loneliness, relationship issues, any traumatic experience from abuse, neglect, the horrors of war, witnessing or being involved in a major incident, accident or injury, or loss.  Loss may be by bereavement, separation, redundancy or loss of a way of life, such as when the kids grow or when we age.  There are many reasons why people come to therapy, and by talking about the issues in confidence with a trained therapist change can happen.​

​​

The pressures of modern life can get too much.  That is why therapy can be beneficial to explore a change of direction, lifestyle or thoughts patterns, relaxation and self-care or simply to just be with another whilst you take time to talk things through.​  If you would like to talk with me about counselling, please do get in touch.  I am fully qualified and registered with the BACP, giving you peace of mind that you are with a professional counsellor.
