I am not able to take on any new clients at the moment. If you are looking for a counsellor then I would recommend trying the BACP Directory.

The information on this site may still be helpful, so please feel free to browse.

Counselling can help you to feel better, resolve specific problems, make sense of your life, and make decisions. I offer individual counselling for adults and young people to help with:

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • stress
  • anger
  • relationship problems
  • low self-esteem
  • addictions
  • bereavement
  • coping with long term illness and infertility
  • coping with divorce or separation
and many other issues affecting emotional and psychological well-being.

My formal training is in Gestalt Counselling. This means that I work very much in the 'here and now', focusing on what is happening in the current moment, rather than what happened in the past. Although where a client feels that they are still being influenced by past events these may form an important part of our work. The important thing for me is that the counselling is client led. I aim to help you gain self awareness, as this increases your choices and allows you to make your own informed decisions. I believe that every individual has the potential to heal themselves. My aim is to help facilitate the changes that you may wish to make, not to provide advice, or instructions. Overall my approach is holistic, recognising that everything is relevant and that each individual is unique.

I have a private practice in Wokingham, with easy access to the A329M.

My fee is currently £45 for a 50 minute session. I recommend an initial session where I can explain how I work in more detail, you can tell me something about your reasons for wanting counselling and ask me any questions you may have. We can then decide whether to continue working together and whether our work will be open ended or time limited.

I hold a Diploma in Gestalt Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I have recently published a book on depression, looking at different approaches to treatment, THE DEPRESSION TRAP: TEN WAYS TO SET YOURSELF FREE.

I am also a member of the NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners and of the NHS Staff Discount Scheme (offering a 10% discount for holders of the NHS Staff Discount Card).
