Hello, and welcome to my counselling website.

You may have found yourself arriving here for a variety of reasons. These might include feelings of distress, hopelessness, anxiety and/or unease, and often not knowing quite why you feel this way; a sense that ‘something just doesn’t feel quite right.’ Perhaps you are experiencing confusing thoughts and behaviours – thinking, feeling and/or behaving in ways which may lead to feelings of embarrassment, shame, or feeling a need to disappear. Maybe you are experiencing feelings of low self-esteem, feeling depressed and unable to engage with life, feeling pessimistic, misunderstood and alienated, or perhaps you have somehow found yourself at a difficult and confusing stage in your life and are finding it difficult to figure out how to move forward.

Sometimes, people feel able to talk about their difficulties with a close friend or relative, but often these problems can feel too difficult, or too personal to discuss within a conventional relationship. Others may feel that they ‘should’ be able to work through such issues on their own, but they somehow feel that they are just too big.

As an experienced integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor I am able to work with a wide range of concerns that so often feel to be intrinsically interwoven into the experience of being a person making one’s way in the world. I have particular experience in helping people work through issues with their sense of identity versus the pressures and difficulties of living with the expectations of society.

Whatever your reasons for being here, I am here to help you try and figure out what is going on for you, and to be alongside you with care, compassion and acceptance – holding you through the difficult times, and supporting you through to the better times.

You will never be judged and you will always be heard.
