Learn More About Me
My Journey
I understand from a professional perspective what it means to hear that inner critical voice making you feel awful about yourself, to feel that there is no hope, and that you are helpless. I also understand from a personal perspective. Throughout my life I have experienced a variety of challenges and distress, including trauma, suicide, bereavement, work stress, redundancy, health issues, relationship issues and parenting challenges. Through the process of personal counselling these experiences have strengthened but have also provided me with a greater understanding of what it is like to be the "client" and how important it is to find the right counsellor for you.
About You
I am a counsellor who will offer you honesty, compassion, and acceptance for wherever you are at this moment in your journey. I am aware from experience that real healing can feel dirty, uncomfortable, feeling the emotions you're frightened of, saying the words out loud that you're scared to say, unsure of yourself and feeling as if you are going crazy. Your journey may not be easy, but I can assure you that I will be with you every step of the way. Listening to you, being with you and helping you to uncover your ways of changing your life.
Everybody’s journey is different and my path out of the dark won’t be the same as yours. Yet, the knowledge and experience I have gathered about myself along the way will help you carve out that path for yourself.
We will meet to talk about the things that you are finding difficult, and we will uncover a way for you to build a life that feels the way you want it to feel.

Couples counselling is available with one of our experienced counsellors.
I work as a part of a team so, no waiting lists. I also work as part of a team, so if I am unable to see you right away, another counsellor will be able to. Part of the team work with couples who are struggling with their relationship issues. Couples counselling is for couples wanting to resolve difficulties, improve their relationship and recapture the happiness that existed between them when they first met. If you would like couples counselling please contact me and will arrange for you to speak with a couples counsellor.
