My Services

Working with individuals.

As a counsellor, I work with people of all age groups, genders, and cultures. The first step on my journey with you is a free introductory telephone call lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. This is an opportunity to see how I can help you by exploring a few questions together. If there is a presenting issue outside my field of expertise (as an example, an issue that is based on adoption only) I can refer you on to other services that will be able to help. If we decide to work together then we will work out a number of weekly sessions, which are fifty minutes in length.

Working with couples and families

When I work with you as part of a couple, or as part of family counselling, the goal is always an increased understanding of yourself, your partner, your children, or other relatives, and what it is that has become detrimental to a once strong relationship. Once these issues have been explored and understood we move onto changing the feelings, thoughts, and actions and changing any ineffective or destructive behaviours into positive ones.

Working within education

I strongly believe, from both professional and personal experience, that a student can only achieve their best once their emotional well being is settled. To help with this I offer several services, including the assessment of visual stress; individual and group therapy sessions with students or staff; staff training in areas such as understanding and managing behaviour, dyslexia, and autism; and Animal Assisted Therapy and Activities.
