Counsellor and Relationship expert, supporting you and your relationships.
With more than 20 years of experience as a counsellor, I help people to improve their relationships with other people as well as improve how they feel about themselves.
Sometimes life is too challenging – school is overwhelming, there is too much pressure on you, and sometimes you might need help to work out what is important to you.
Do you dread talking to your teenager? When you do, does it often result in an argument? Are you embarrassed by your teenager’s behaviour, or just worried about them?
It may be that you are recently separated and are struggling to be alone. Maybe your children are about to leave home. You may be re-entering the workplace and need support.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07788741320 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
You can make your first appointment by contacting me by phone or email. If you would like a chat before your first appointment, please get in touch.
After your first session, we can decide how many further sessions you can book. I can be flexible to fit around your commitments week to week.
Please only contact me to arrange, or change session time. Any other concerns can be shared at our next meeting.
For emergencies, please call The Samaritans on 116123 or email jo@samaritans.org.

In line with the professional body I belong to, British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I will keep everything we talk about confidential, and only share information with your consent or if you, or someone else, are at risk of harm.
If a young person is assessed as “Gillick Competent” then I will respect their privacy, even if the session is being paid for by a parent. I will share information if required to keep a young person safe, but otherwise a young person is able to access confidential counselling safe in the knowledge that their privacy is respected.
The number of sessions you choose to have can be tailored to you and your needs. Some people may have 6-8 sessions, some more.
You may book your next consultation with me at the end of each session, so you will always have a choice about the journey we are taking together.
I can offer sessions via zoom, which many clients find convenient for them.
