It takes courage to ask for help. Often we've learnt to rely on ourselves and are reluctant to admit that we're struggling or looking for something different. But there are times in our lives when we feel really stuck, when  the things we've done before don't seem to work any more. At these times we can feel overwhelmed and alone.  

Talking to someone in a safe and confidential environment, someone who won't judge, criticise or offer unwanted advice, can help us find a way out of the darkness. Counselling can help us to understand what's happening more clearly and to develop confidence in our own abilities to make our lives more how we want them to be.

I work with adults at all stages of life and with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, relationship problems and sexual and emotional abuse. I have a special interest and experience in Asperger's Syndrome, work-related issues, ageing and terminal illness.
