I am a positive, friendly, registered and accredited counsellor for individual adults over the age of 25. I have more than 25 years' experience (well over the 10,000 hours required for expertise in any area) in private practice and in the NHS. At present I work exclusively in private practice.
Due to my many years' experience doing short term work in the NHS, I am always mindful of offering concentrated help in as short a time as possible, so you may find that you do not need a long piece of work with me in order to get a good therapeutic outcome.I never lose sight of the fact that you have come to feel better and then leave as soon as possible, feeling more equipped for life.
You will be in safe hands. Whatever your present situation, I can help you improve your state of mind and deal more effectively with your life challenges. I employ a flexible therapeutic approach depending on my clients' needs. However, my long experience has provided me with evidence that Mindfulness based CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy provide the most successful outcomes.

Appointments are weekly at the same time.
