What would it be like to meet you?
Whether you are new to counselling or returning, I can provide a safe and confidential space face to face or online. My intention is to listen, help you to explore issues that you wish to work through, at your own pace, without judgement or pressure. I work within the BACP’s code of ethics and I am fully committed to ensuring confidentiality and safety to all my clients.

Deciding on a counsellor that is right for you is really important. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation.

What therapies do you use and what kind of difficulties do you help people with?
Integrative Counselling draws on techniques from different types of therapy and brings together an approach that is specific for each person. Holistic Therapy takes into account the body and the whole person. It focuses on the relationship between the mind, body and spirit. Intercultural Therapy draws on the importance of race, culture, beliefs, religion, language and the impact of racism.

I work with a range of issues such as; mental health, trauma, bereavement, self esteem, identity, culture, religion, sexuality, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, adoption, eating disorders, self harm, suicide and domestic violence.
