About counselling
Counselling can enable the changes needed to lead a richer and more enjoyable life. Whether you need a short-term block of sessions to explore a particular issue, or to work longer term, it can make a huge difference to your happiness, quality of life and relationships. Research shows that most people will benefit from counselling.
As a counsellor I have been trained to work with difficult feelings and thoughts, and can help you explore and understand what is troubling you. I provide an empathic, non-judgemental and confidential space to address issues that can occur at any stage of life. I bring both support and perspective, and together we can explore things that have happened in the past, that are currently happening, and that may lie ahead. We can work together to find your way forward.

Age 16-28
I work with students and young people on many issues including: relationship issues, self harm, rage and anger, suicidal thoughts, loss of purpose and motivation, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and addiction. Alongside this, counselling can help with the challenges of leaving home, belonging and finding your direction and way in the world.
Parents
If you are a parent and are looking for counselling for a young person, I am always happy to have an initial consultation with you on the phone or face to face.
