We all talk to family, friends, work colleagues, and sometimes watching what we can and cant say leaves us with left over thoughts and feelings. I believe this is where counselling comes in, as it is a space where you can truly be yourself and heard in a safe and respectful way.

I am a non-directive and non-judgemental person who does not have a vested interest in changing you, your views or life choices and I believe this allows our relationship to form. My role as counsellor is not to wave a magic wand and make changes for you, instead I work with you to explore and remove barriers that are creating blocks and stopping you from living the life you want, stop you from living your life to the full or in the way you want.

The therapeutic relationship between us is unique, I work in a way which respects our relationship and will work with you at your pace. I respect how hard it can be to open up, to take a chance, to be vulnerable and in contact with another person. I work through permission giving, asking before entering into your world and respecting the boundaries between us.

Counselling is not about changing other people, about cutting out conflict instead it is a space where you can look at changes you can make and how you can make different choices. Therapy is a process of personal growth, a way of moving on with our lives in a different way; of exploring meanings; and to experiment with new ways of being.

I offer counselling and therapy for individuals and couples. Amongst the issues I deal with are:

Stress, anxiety and depression
Anger and isolation
Relationship problems and couple issues
Low self-esteem
Addiction to drugs and/or alcohol
Significant other counselling for addiction
Changes in work circumstances
Trauma
Loss and bereavement

We all experience a range of thoughts and feelings on a daily basis, some are easier to express and acknowledge; No feelings are wrong, sometimes they help us make unhelpful choices.
