About Counselling
It can be really difficult to seek help, particularly if what we want to talk about is deeply personal. Many of us spend our lives looking after other people and it can be hard to accept support for ourselves. Sometimes we wonder whether our problems are big enough, whether somebody will judge us or whether we are deserving of being helped. This can be especially so if we have experienced abuse at the hands of another person, more so if that person is somebody who is supposed to love and care for us. I have been working with people for over 30 years, specialising in helping people who experience domestic or sexual abuse.
I know that many people from a wide range of backgrounds and of any gender or sexuality can experience abuse. I also believe that you did not deserve this and that help is available. I can offer a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. You are entitled to your feelings and I will support you to make the decisions that are right for you.
​
At the beginning of counselling we contract about how we are going to work together. This includes our agreement about confidentiality.
You may be wondering whether or not to reach out for help. However, if you don't try you will never know. It is worth a free consultation to see whether or not you feel I am the right person to work with. If you decide not, that is absolutely fine, it is important to find the right person for you to talk to.
Appointments last for 50 minutes and most people work with me weekly or fortnightly. Some people work with me for a long time, others only need a few sessions. We can work together and review regularly to see what works for you.

I offer telephone and video counselling.
