I work as a counsellor because I feel passionately about empowering people to take control of their lives, to feel happier and more resourceful. I have found that that people who feel they have less power in society or in their lives respond well to get the most out of my model and way of working.

Below are just some of the issues I work with more commonly and have been successful with in the past. If you are unsure about your issue or problem, please feel free to call me to talk it through without any obligation. Time-limited work may be less effective for some ongoing issues such as cancer, or those with carer responsibilities. I occasionally work longer term with some issues.

• Lifting depression

• Overcoming fears, anxiety, PMT, panic attacks

• Dealing with the results of trauma, phobias and stress

• Increasing confidence and self-esteem

• Resolving relationship and family problems

• Dealing with the results of domestic violence, sexual, physical or emotional abuse or bullying and harassment, either recent or in childhood

• Career development and resolving work related issues

• Working to resolve health issues, ME

• Resolving distress from self harm, eating disorders

• Self development - understanding what you feel, what you want, and how you want your life to be

• Young people (16 and over)

If you are not sure if I would be right for you, please call me to talk it through. I am happy to give contact numbers and signpost you to someone else who could be more suited to your needs. Contact me to talk about how I can help you.
