About me

  • I am an experienced counsellor offering a calm, quiet, non-judgemental environment where you can talk about whatever or whoever you want.
  • I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means that I am bound by, and work within their Ethical Framework - www.bacp.co.uk.
  • I am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office as part of the Data Protection Act.

How I work

  • I have a foundation degree in Humanistic Counselling with Transactional Analysis. This means that I am trained in recognising the personal growth potential in all of us; to offer a non-judgmental environment to explore this in; and to work with you to explore how your past has influenced the decisions you've made and how you interact with others – from your family and partner to your workmates and boss.
  • I also have experience in using Mindfulness skills, which can be defined as managing overwhelming thoughts and feelings by paying attention to the present moment.

How I can help

  • You can use our sessions to offload; for support with an issue that's effecting your life right now; or to explore more long standing issues to help prevent the same negative feelings in the future.
  • I offer evening and daytime sessions and am based just 10 miles from Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and Winchester.
  • I have experience of working with depression, anxiety, male identity, low self esteem, career counselling, self harm, suicidal thoughts, bereavement, separation, sexuality, relationships and alcohol dependency.
  • I work with individuals and couples from 18 years old.

What I charge

  • A free 30 minute initial assessment session.
  • Ongoing sessions: Individuals - £40 per 50 minute session. Couples - £60 per 80 minute session.
