Hello and welcome – I am a counsellor who is happy to work with you on your situation or relationship, as an individual or a couple.  If you have issues with anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self-esteem or trauma, I'd hope to help you.  If you have a difficult decision to make or have had a recent loss – this isn’t always a death, but an unwanted ending of some kind - I'd work with you to untangle all the different strands that are making this so difficult, so you can make a choice, about what's next for you.No problem is too small.How will I work with you?  I’ll use my experience, gained as a counsellor in private practice and from ten years as a relationship counsellor with Relate to provide you with the supportive space in which you can explore whatever has brought you to therapy. I am likely to ask you questions, if I need to clarify something or to explore something in more depth and, as I am integrative, I’ll be happy to work with you with on issues from the past, that’s happening now or any fears you have about the future.What do I do? - initially I will listen and then, together, we can explore your situation and all your options (and maybe the consequences too) but whatever you decide, the choice is always yours.I really enjoy counselling individuals and relationships and I also like to work with groups, as a counsellor or, as a supervisor or, as a facilitator. I am LGBTQ and Neurodivergent friendly. I’ve worked with abuse, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, depression, menopause, people pleasing, stuck-ness, work and/or health anxiety, separation & divorce to name but a few areas.How do I do it? - Integrative, which in my case, means using a mix of several counselling theories, depending on your needs - Systemic, Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Attachment Theory and Transactional Analysis (TA), to name a few.
