Counselling provides time in your week where you are listened to and supported to explore areas of your life that may be troubling you. Difficult issues that you are trying to manage can be explored and worked through. This will help you move towards living a more fulfilled life.

I am an integrative counsellor. This means I can draw on several different theoretical perspectives in my practice. My aim is to support you to work through difficulties in a way that is best suited to you and the themes you bring to counselling.

Since qualifying, I have gained experience counselling clients in various agencies such as the Southmead Project and Carers Support Centre.

I offer both short term and long term counselling. Short term work is suitable if you wish to work towards a specific goal, for example managing stress or problems at work. Long term counselling is more appropriate for working through deep seated issues, often developed early in life. Such issues need space and time to work through. You may have a clear idea of how long you would like to be in counselling or this may be something you wish to discuss with me during our first session. If you would like to find out more or to arrange an appointment please get in touch - I will be happy to answer any questions or to arrange an initial meeting.

During a first meeting, we will discuss what you would like to gain from counselling; it is also an opportunity for you to see if you feel comfortable working with me. After this meeting, if you would like to continue we will arrange further sessions that are held weekly.
