Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle of thoughts, feelings or behaviours that you’d like to understand and change?
Do you feel lonely or experience low self-esteem?
Has your relationship been derailed by an affair or betrayal?
Then I might be able to help you.

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 all well suited to us working together if you:
- are experiencing a general sense of being stuck;
- wish to understand more about why you think, feel and act the way you do;
- want to sort out your relationship or bring it to an end,
- or realise that experiences from long ago are still affecting you today.

Working with me is a collaborative process which will help you identify and create a route to a happier 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.
