I'm used to supporting a wide range of people with emotional difficulties, both individually and within groups. I've counselled many adults, students in higher education, and young people of secondary school age. I've also worked extensively with parents experiencing difficulties with their children.
I am a mother of two grown-up children, one of each sex. I've a particular interest in the links between learning and emotional wellbeing, and in family systems, as well as the emotional and behavioural patterns passed from one generation to the next within families.
My way of working is to tailor my therapeutic approach, depending on your needs and expectations. In my experience one approach doesn't suit all people, and you may need various levels of support at various times.
I therefore offer brief counselling, as well as more open-ended, longer-term therapy. A decision on the most appropriate approach will be made with you.
The relationship between you and your counsellor is of paramount importance. My aim is to provide a safe, non-judgemental environment in which to consider and discuss your feelings. This allows you to explore and understand difficulties from the past, which are shaping your present. Or it can offer a safe space to look at issues clouding your here and now, with the aim to make your future less frightening.
Whatever your concerns, I'll treat them confidentially and empathically, while helping you to find a resolution.
