Welcome to my counselling practice in Christchurch where I work with women, men and couples from across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, the New Forest and online. I have a Foundation Degree in Humanistic Counselling, am a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP), and am fully insured and have an Enhanced Certificate from the DBS.

My psychotherapeutic approach is based on Transactional Analysis, looking at the relationships between thoughts, feeling and behaviours, and is informed by the BACP’s code of ethics. This is well suited to us working together if you are trying to deal with any of the challenging questions in life; want to stop the cycle of action and thought, or know that something from your past is still affecting you today. Working with me is a collaborative process which will help you identify and create a route to a more contented you.

In addition to my private practice, I volunteer for a charity supporting those bereaved by cancer and am an L5 counselling tutor at Peter Symonds College AHED.
