I haven’t always been a therapist. I have worked in the corporate sector for over 25 years as a personal and executive coach. During that time I worked with lots of frazzled, stressed professionals & individuals, helping them to find the resilience & skills needed to make mindset changes that stick.

In addition, my own life experiences of health issues, work stresses, loss & bereavement, family, and relationship challenges have given me a pragmatic perspective on life that enables me to really connect and understand my clients.

As an integrative counsellor I work with a range of techniques & therapeutic practices, that I use to build a truly individualised approach to suit your particular needs. As part of my training I have worked with CBT, TA and Solution Focused approaches; all of which aim to help you get a fresh perspective on what’s causing distress, and find a way forward.

I trained at the Leeds Beckett University where I gained a Post Graduate Diploma Counselling & Psychotherapy. I am also a qualified coach, having completed my Post Graduate Diploma Coaching Psychology some years ago.

Fees

£50.00 per session
Free initial telephone or online session

I offer a free, initial phone call which is a chance for us to get to know each other and to see whether working together will be useful for you. If you decide to continue, each weekly session will be £50 and will last for 60 minutes.

Further Information

Daytime and Evening Appointments are available. You can email, text or call me and I’ll get back to you for an initial conversation about what you need.

I appreciate that it can be tough to make that first contact, but often people feel reassured once we’ve had that first chance to speak.
