Feeling overwhelmed, low, anxious, stressed, or stuck?
Maybe you are at a crossroads in your life?

Whether it’s your career, your relationships, a general feeling of not being OK or you want to gain greater self awareness, therapy offers the time and space to help you to make sense of your life.
MY STORY
It was as a client that I first discovered counselling after experiencing work related stress in my first career as a commercial litigation solicitor.
One of the reasons for entering law was to help people and part of the problem was that I wasn’t helping people in the way that I had envisaged. Through my own experience of counselling I realised that I could use my listening skills in a different way and so decided to re-train, qualifying in 2012.
I have worked both in the NHS and the charitable sector and now have my own private practice working with individuals and businesses as well as being an affiliate counsellor for a number of Employee Assistance Programmes. I work with a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship issues, bullying, health conditions and personal development.
MY APPROACH
Counselling and psychotherapy, although often described as "talking therapy", involve both talking and listening, in that they offer you a private space to talk through issues with someone who will listen attentively and respectfully.
There are a number of different types of therapy (details of which can be found on the BACP website https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/types-of-therapy/), and the approach I use is integrative. This means that I tailor the therapy to meet your individual needs as no two people are the same. I am able to work with you on a short, medium or long term basis.
I believe that relationship is at the heart of the process and therefore the values that underpin my approach are empathy, genuineness and acceptance.
