Perhaps you're feeling anxious, stressed - or just a bit out of sorts? Perhaps you're always thinking of others before yourself and you've suddenly realised that you're important too? Maybe changes are afoot and you want someone to help you navigate them. Often we talk to family and friends and get lots of advice which just confuses us: we want to yell 'why won't you just listen?' I can provide that safe listening space where you can explore your feelings without judgment. A place where you can feel supported to work through issues or traumas which maybe you've been aware of for a long time, but which you haven't wanted to address.

I work with people who have many and varied issues which they would like to explore. I have a particular interest in bereavement, having trained with Cruse Bereavement Support, and also in suicide-ideation, through many years of working with- and training Listening Volunteers for the Samaritans - I am a director of Cambridge Samaritans. I have also worked in a hospice environment with patients and relatives.

Therapy should be as unique as you are - that's why I tailor my approach to fit with who you are and what you are looking for. Some people want to be listened to properly and held in that space while they come to terms with what is going on. Others are looking for someone to challenge them and to explore what has made them who they are: I can work with you in whichever way you feel most comfortable.

I have a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and am about to receive my Level 5 Diploma in Relationship Counselling through Relate. I am also qualified in Clinical Hypnosis.
