Counselling for individuals in a safe, comfortable and private setting
I am passionate about helping people who are struggling and who don't know who to turn to. As a counsellor my role is to listen to you with empathy in a non-judgmental way, helping you to understand your issues better and explore how you want to move forward. I draw on a range of therapies, including person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, depending on what feels most suitable for you.
I had a 20-year career in the police where I specialised in child protection and supporting victims of sexual abuse. I then decided to build on my experience of supporting survivors of child abuse and historic & recent sexual abuse, by training to be a counsellor.
I have a level 4 diploma in therapeutic counselling and am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I have a BSc in Law and Languages and qualified as a solicitor before joining the Police.
Making the decision to see a counsellor is a big step to take - but it can be a positive one. Please read on to find out more about how I could help you.
How can counselling help?
Speak in confidence
Counselling takes place in a safe space, where you can meet with someone who will listen with sensitivity and empathy - and without judgement. In the therapy space thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence.
A problem shared...
Trouble with a relationship; anxiety, mood swings and depression - many people face difficulties in their everyday lives that can be hard to get on top of. Counselling gives us a set of tools we can use to help gain a better understanding of what’s causing these problems - and how you can move towards managing or resolving them.
Make better, healthier new choices
Working together I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, heathier choices moving forward.
What issues can counselling help with?
People come to me for help with a wide range of issues. Here are a few of the more common difficulties that can be supported through counselling:
Feelings of stress or anxiety
Relationship problems
Grief, loss or bereavement
Abuse
Menopause
Women’s issues
Depression
Problems with confidence or self-esteem
Anger management
Issues relating to sexuality
Difficulties at work or in retirement
Problems with family
How I Work
My aim is to support you as you talk through whatever situation you may be facing. We can then look at different ways of addressing your struggles and help you to tackle them in a way that works best for you.
I draw on a range of therapies, including person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, depending on what feels most suitable for you.
For those who enjoy being outside in nature, I also offer outdoor therapy. Some people find it easier to talk about difficult topics whilst they are walking alongside or sitting beside someone rather than face to face.
Clients I Work With
Sessions & Fees
Initial Consultation
I offer an initial free telephone consultation giving you the opportunity to discuss what brings you to counselling and what you hope to achieve from our sessions. It gives us both a chance to get a sense of one another, for me to explain how I work, and for us to decide if I am the best therapist for you. We can then agree the best way forward for you.
Fees
My sessions are 50 minutes long and I usually see clients on a weekly basis. The sessions cost £50 but I do offer concessionary rates to students, those on a low income and to key workers.
