Introduction

Currently I only offer online counselling.

Hi,
Sometimes life gets messy. In me you’ll find a welcoming, supportive place to work through the situation you are facing, a chance to restore the things that you value or uncover new strengths.
I aim to come alongside you, help you clarify what you are experiencing, and grow through those changes or challenges. I respect that you come with your own wisdom about what has happened, even if sometimes it takes a conversation or many to clarify what you have experienced and find stability. Alongside your understanding, I'm happy to work with other ways of seeing the issues, and other ways of responding to events that are troubling, seem out of control or simply won't stay in the past.
My training in Narrative Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy combine to work at your pace, to help you explore the situation, look at the different perspectives and work towards a solution that sits comfortably with who you are and your experience of life.
If you’re not ready to put it into words, sometimes the Sandtray gives a easier way to explore your situation, or sometimes just having the tools mindfulness gives to let you be present, escape to now, and find rest, allows space to find a way forward.
Even where they are messy, family connections, and the friends become family, as part of your support base are also important. I appreciate the role the relationships around us may contribute to the mess, and often to the healing.
Would you like to know more or make an appointment? Feel free to contact me.

Online therapy
Online therapy is via Doxy-me, a simple counselling/health practitioners video conferencing app, which is as simple to use as clicking the link you are sent for the session and having the Doxy-me website do the rest.
Online sessions can be done from any device with a camera and a microphone, ie phone, tablet, Ipad or laptop. Its as simple as finding a space where you are comfortable, have privacy, and as a bonus you can set yourself up with your favourite tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
