Be the best version of you

I am a professional Counsellor practising in Person Centred therapy.
Warm, friendly and approachable, I understand that making that step to undertake counselling can be daunting which is why I take into consideration every individual's needs.

Person Centred is a non directive, humanistic approach therefore I believe
that you are the expert in your own life.
I will be with you step by step in your journey
to find change and realise your true potential.

I can offer you the safe space that you need to
explore the difficulties that you are facing with
complete trust and without judgement.

After a ten year career in Advertising, I needed a change. I feel passionate about
helping people and know first hand how effective therapy is so this seemed the right
path for me to follow.
I strongly believe everyone should have the chance to live their best life.

My experience of client work has afforded me a deep understanding of the sometimes

painful and overwhelming issues that people face in their lives.
