"We can choose to throw stones, to stumble on them,
to climb over them, or to build with them."
- William Arthur Ward
I began nursing in 1979 and really enjoyed being with and around people.
As the years went by I became increasingly aware that I wanted to spend more time with my
patients. Talking, listening to their concerns and supporting them through major life changing
events.
During a traumatic time in my personal life, I had my own experience of counselling. It had
such a positive and motivating effect on my life that it encouraged me to pursue counselling
as a career.
I am a relational counsellor, the relationship I share with my clients is very important. I create
a caring, supportive and empathic environment enabling my clients to work in a way that
helps them gain insight to their inner strengths. This strength aids them to engage in making
choices to positive change.
These changes enable clients to feel fulfilled and satisfied in life and also creating meaning
and trust in not only the relationship they have with themselves, but also the relationships
they share with others.
I am also accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. This
means I have achieved a substantial level of training and experience that has been approved
by the BACP.

What Happens at the First Session
At the first appointment you will have the opportunity to discuss your difficulties. We will talk about what you want to achieve from

Will Everything I Say Be Confidential?
Usually everything we discuss is kept in strict confidence; however, there may be exceptions to this, for example if i thought that someone
