Thank you for considering me as a counsellor. I believe that the our relationship is key to support change and requires mutual trust, openness and honesty. To establish this trust, it is important that you are happy to work with me.  Please feel free to call me on 07859 414 376 or use the contact form to set up an appointment or ask additional questions.

I provide a safe, confidential environment in which to explore your difficulties through a collaborative approach at your pace.

Therapy is a space for you to be yourself, giving you time to talk, cry and time to think and reflect. Once a safe relationship has developed between us based on empathy and trust you will be able to consider what actions need to be taken to make change.

Speaking to a trained counsellor can help you to become clearer about issues, find answers, discover ways to cope with feelings and manage behaviours.

I work with an integrative approach using a combination of counselling theories and skills such as:

• Person Centred
• Havening Techniques
• Brief Solution Focused
• Mindfulness

• I offer short or long term therapy for individuals which is discussed and decided at the initial assessment with you. Counselling is an important decision and you the client must feel comfortable working with me.

• Weekly counselling appointments are charged at £60 for 1 hour session.

• Havening Sessions to remove trauma -1st session Assessment upto 2 hours £130 further sessions £70. The Havening process in general is a very fast approach to clearing trauma, it will take longer if there are multiple traumas.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness can help you to manage your wellbeing and mental health,

by feeling less overwhelmed, reduce anxiety levels, support you to manage

difficulties, reduce levels of depression and stress, improve your quality of sleep,

reduce over worrying, help you to learn to have  greater self-compassion for

yourself.

Being mindful helps us to train our attention we can take more control over our

focus of attention, and choose what we focus on and lessen negative thoughts

that dominate and distresses us taking our minds from present moment
