I have 15 years experience in delivering counselling over a vast range of issues. I offer a direct and highly compassionate way of working. If you have any queries at all about what I offer, please feel free to send me a message.

I am BACP Integrative counsellor with over 9 years experience in all types of addictions (gambling, sex, drugs and alcohol) both in my private practice and within NHS umbrella I also specialise in all forms for Abuse, Trauma, Inner child work, stress, anxiety and depression, bereavement . In recent years due to increased demand from my clients I started to offer both telephone and video online counselling that proved to be not only very convenient but also very safe for my clients to open and explore their issues. The skills that I have developed since, demonstrate that I am comfortable working and communicating with people from all backgrounds. Thank you for taking time to look at my profile and I am looking forward to our work together.

About me I'm a counselor and psychotherapist who works with adults and young people. I offer 1-1 and group therapy, Clinical supervision, teaching on counselling courses, online therapy and couples counselling. I have a credible professional reputation in the public service sector and have been working with adults and young people for the last 20 years. I'm also accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. My approach is non-judgmental and I offer a secure and nurturing therapeutic space to help you through your difficulties and anxieties at your own pace. I work with all issues that can cause distress, anxiety and depression that can lead to phobias, addictions, self-destructive emotions which create destructive consequences in life for people. I have a lot of experience of working with the effects of trauma and can help you rebuild a grounded sense of self from the often shattering experience of trauma. Also as I have been working in the field for a long time I have a lot of experience in most areas of difficulty. My service report for my part-time counselling job indicated I have a 86 % success rate. I believe in allowing people the space to explore what they need in the time they need to do this. People always comment on my warm and nurturing presence and my ability to really understand what they are going through. I believe a lot of problems can make you feel isolated in the world and having some to talk to who truly listens helps you feel acknowledged and accepted. If you feel this sounds right for you then call me on the number or drop me an email. I will conduct a small telephone referral assessment before we begin the work. In which we will set the time for your first session. I believe in providing people with the best possible service for their money. That's why I am very disciplined with my own care. As scientific research highlights that the therapist engaged in their own psychological health through mindfulness or other practices similar are more in-tune with their clients empathically. As a teacher of counselling, I understand that ethically it is important that you are in the best of health so you can support someone else. As it affects the ability to offer the conditions necessary for change to happen. You pay for a high-quality service when choosing me as your therapist and I will always be genuine and caring and most importantly treat you with respect and dignity. You will always find me helpful when you email me and from that point on you make the decision yourself.
