We all experience times in our lives when we feel unable to move forward due to feeling 'low', having relationship difficulties, suffering from anxiety, unable to cope with a loss or many other reasons. I offer a safe, non judgemental space in which to explore your difficulties and find meaning. My approach incorporates the unique tools of Transactional Analysis which offers a model of understanding your difficulties and gives you learning tools that can be used for the rest of your life. I am also able to draw on other models of counselling suited to your circumstances and goals of counselling.
I understand that it can be a daunting experience contacting a counsellor and my background of experience in health services (Nurse, Midwife, Workplace Health Adviser) has enabled me to realise the importance of a trusting and committed relationship. I therefore offer an initial half-hour first session free in order for you to explore whether counselling at this time is right for you, there is no obligation to proceed further.Qualifications & Training
