I am a qualified counsellor with over 20 years of experience working in the NHS. I offer a safe and confidential place with an open and approachable style to explore your personal needs. I embrace the integrative approach meaning that I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques that are best suited to each client individually. Counselling can be a short or long term intervention and will help to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe place. This can provide a better understanding of your problems which should help you move forward and facilitate change. Many different things may bring you to counselling and I work with a wide range of issues. I aim to provide a compassionate, empathetic but down to earth approach which takes account of personal history and yet be focused and goal orientated.
