About Me

Nice to meet you.  If you've found your way to my website then there's a good chance you're looking for someone to support you through life's challenges.  That's where I come in. 

 

I'm an online Counsellor, supporting women of all ages throughout the UK.  I absolutely love what I do. 

 

I am passionate about helping women to build their confidence and resilience, and to strengthen their relationships.  I've been described as caring, empathic, friendly, and relatable.  I've had counselling myself, and I know how powerful it can be.

 

I hope these pages give you a sense of who I am and how I work.   If you're looking for support with a particular issue, then you'll find a whole list of areas on this site, including anxiety, depression, fertility, trauma and abuse.   And I've listed my specialist training below.  But please know that I treat everyone as an individual. We are all more than just the sum of our experiences.

My Approach

There's lots of research about counselling and how it works.  But time and time again, the research shows the same thing.  The most important component of counselling - the magic ingredient - is for you to find a counsellor who you can connect with.  Someone who you like and trust.  So that you can feel comfortable and safe to talk, think, reflect, explore, and be challenged. 

I am not here to advise you or tell you what to do; although I may occasionally offer tools that might be useful in everyday life. 

 

This doesn't mean that I'll sit there silently nodding, leaving you feeling uncomfortable.  It means that I will listen to you and I will work with you to give you the opportunity to get to know yourself and find solutions that work for you.  

In terms of training, I am an integrative Counsellor who offers Attachment-based therapy, with a person-centred grounding.  What does this actually mean?  Essentially, my training has covered a range of different theories about what makes us tick, and how we can overcome challenges in our lives.
