It may be difficult for you to make that first phone call or e-mail but be assured that I will do all that I can to put you at your ease. I'm here to help and hope that I can do so. Give me a call and we can discuss whether my kind of counselling would be appropriate for you.

What is the purpose of person centred counselling and how might I be able to help you?
Person centred counselling provides individuals with the time and space to explore and discuss the issues which may be troubling them. I provide a safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment. I work in a client centred, humanistic way and believe that clients may gain greater understanding and awareness of their difficulties and concerns.
I offer individuals of all ages short and long term work on issues such as:
Family difficulties
Personal development
Stress/Anxiety
Depression
Loss
Bereavement
Eating disorders
Self esteem
Teenage issues
Sexuality/sexual orientation
Sessions are usually once a week and last 50 minutes. I offer sessions at various times during the week, some evenings and at weekends. I also offer telephone counselling. My fees are £40 per session and there are concessionary rates for trainee counsellors.
