As I have worked as a counsellor for a long time now, I have been able to gain a depth of knowledge across a very wide range of issues. In that time, I have learnt a considerable amount as to what works well in a given situation, with a particular approach.

Over the years, I have worked with pretty much every aspect of what life can throw at us, and feel confident it working with you, and your life experience/trauma, to support you to process 'it' and get you to a better place.

Sure, everyone is different, though we are all human beings, and it is this human connection that I feel is my strength, to work with you, as you work towards what you seek.

I have worked with individuals, ranging from (in their words) relatively mild distress/issues, through to extreme issues, and feel confident with working with what ever you are dealing with.

I also work with couples with relationship issues, and have done so for many years.

When you work with me, I will treat you, as a given, as how I would expect to be treated, if I were in your shoes.

I am completely non-judgmental, pretty much unshockable, even when 'it' is shocking, will 'go' where ever you want to 'go'. I will stand by you as long as you feel you need the help you look for, even if you don't initially know just what that may be, on the surface at least.

I qualified in 2003 in Person Centered Counselling and have developed into an integrative counsellor since then, to also use CBT or some elements of other approaches, as and when appropriate.

Rather than specializing in a narrow field, I have developed a broad experience across a very varied field of working with people with many types of distress and difficulties.

We are all different, and respond very differently to similar experiences, even when it is a crisis.

So, whether it is anxiety and/or depression, or the many other types of psychological issues/diagnosis you may live with, substance dependence / abuse, anger management, relationship issues, with your self or with a partner/others, bereavement and loss, feeling 'not good enough' or that you have simple 'lost your way in life', I am able to work with you and help you process and get through your past or your 'now', to get to a better place.
