I have a full CRB and am a member of the BACP, British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, where I am listed on their register. I also have full personal indemnity insurance and you can also find me listed on the Counselling Directory website

I am currently working in 2 placements - one in a busy doctors surgery and the other in a Sure Start Children's Centre. In both I work with adults with a variety of psychological issues. These can range from anxiety issues, depression, interpersonal relationship issues, loss of confidence, low self esteem, bereavement, attachment and loss issues, OCD, PTSD, domestic violence and sexual trauma, including r**e and abuse. I am an open minded, approachable, caring counsellor who can offer clients a warm, safe, non judgemental and confidential space, where they can talk about issues and difficulties that are holding them back from enjoying life to the full. I believe everybody struggles at some point in their life and counselling is a service that can offer clients the chance to explore these struggles with a view to working through them and finding ways in which to manage them better in the future. I believe in the power of the ther**eutic relationship where the emphasis is on the collaboration between the client and the counsellor working together towards the client attaining their goals within the therapy space. My role as a counsellor is to facilitate and enable clients to access their internal resources so they are better able to maximise their full potential, so they can live in ways that are meaningful to them. I consider it an honour to be able to help people in this way and I am always touched by the bravery clients show when they enter into therapy and I'm truely inspired and amazed by the resilience of the human spirit.
