What is Counselling?
At its simplest, counselling might be described as the opportunity to talk in confidence with someone whose only aim is to listen to you carefully and without judgment, so that with understanding, he or she can support you as fully as possible in your search to find how best to move forward, in whatever areas of your life you choose to explore.
Welcome!

Professional Help
You may be wondering whether psychotherapy or counselling is right for you. If you recognise any of the experiences or symptoms described on the Your Problems page, or if you feel troubled in a way that is hard to describe. I will listen to you attentively, support you, and to help you find your own answers to whatever is troubling you. It may be that you need help in making choices and decisions, in coping with change, or in identifying in a more specific way the feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour which affect your well being. I can offer a safe space in which I will really listen and empathise with you in an equal relationship. Working in this way will focus on how you can live effectively in the world, knowing and honouring your own needs and wishes

I have been counselling for over 18 years and during that time I have become qualified in many different types of therapy.
Not all therapeutic approaches work with all people, and so I feel it’s important for me to be up to offer a wide range of ways of working with each individual’s or couple’s problems. My experience and extensive training mean that together, we can find just the right approach to help you. Here are some of the therapies I offer:

Recently I have written a book on the subject of panic attacks and this work is in the process of being published.
I have worked with hundreds of satisfied clients many of whom have kindly written letters similar to the extracts shown below:
“....... thank you for all your help over the past months. My life has improved beyond
all of my expectations and I’m confident that it will continue to do so.” Becky
-
“...... you held our relationship together for the last six months, and now we both
know we can make it work by ourselves ... you were brilliant!” Richard -
What Do My Clients Say?
There’s a wide variety in the fees that counsellors and therapists charge their clients.
Inexperienced counsellors and those who have just completed their first training, or who are looking to make up their working hours as part of their exam process will often charge smaller fees reflecting that they have less experience
Because these counsellors are still gaining experience they are usually not as effective as a counsellor who has studied in greater depth and has many more years of experience working with a wide variety of problems.
Working with an experienced counsellor usually brings the outcome you want faster, and results in you paying less overall.
If you had a physical complaint, I’m sure that you would rather trust complicated surgery to a highly qualified doctor with years of experience rather than to someone fresh out of medical school. Surely your mental health is equally as important!
As a highly qualified, experienced psychotherapist and counsellor, I charge a fee which is average for counsellors in this area, and you can read more about this on the First Appointment page.
It’s important to prioritise your own needs when considering counselling. You don’t
have to “manage by yourself”. You can have, and deserve a happy life, with love and
a deep sense of well-
You’re worth spending some time and money on!
