About me

Are you finding life difficult right now? Do things feel as though they are changing beyond your control, or perhaps you want to make changes but are unsure how? You may be feeling anxious, low, or angry, and struggling to think clearly because of your emotions.

It can be hard for us to accept that sometimes we need help to make changes, that going round in circles is only making things worse. Many of us now are struggling with the pressures of modern life in an uncertain world � the busyness, financial uncertainty, ambition and drive to push and achieve, to compare and compete with others.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years' experience working with clients through BUPA, the NHS, for private organisations and in private practice. I work with male and female adult clients offering a therapeutic space to explore your needs and I have a special interest in working with women in mid-life transition. I am a menopausal health coach and work with women from early peri-menopause through to post-menopause.

I offer a space to stop and explore what you really want, how to take care of yourself instead of always putting others first, how to acknowledge what is bothering you and give it some careful space and attention.

My knowledge and skills cover a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, work related issues including stress and work-life balance. I integrate several approaches to therapy including client-centred, solution-focused, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic as well as mixing in some coaching-style interventions to help with clarity and focus.

I offer a kind, friendly and non-judgemental place to explore your problems together and to work on uncovering solutions which are right for you.

ONLINE SESSIONS ONLY offering comfort, flexibility, and privacy from your own home.
