Philosophy & Vision

Life is short and precious.

I believe good counselling is time-effective, hope generating, challenging, affordable and a positive experience! Finding the courage to face what wants to change within you will make the biggest difference to your life. Take the first step ... let me help you find more hope, minimise unnecessary distress and get you back on track. A safe, relaxed and confidential space is waiting for you.

Therapy Approach

Whilst the framework I use is CBT, I tailor therapy for each client's unique needs and preferences and thus draw from a range of different approaches including Solution Focused Therapy; Family Therapy; Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT); Narrative Therapy and Dream Work. My main therapeutic aim is to assist clients to remember who they are, to nurture their soul, to honour their gifts, to accept their limitations and move a client to wellness and optimal happiness.
