A place to speak freely

Counselling serves as the one place where you will feel comfortable enough to speak about how you feel. You can talk to me in confidence, either online or in person in Blandford.

How I work

I am an experienced person-centered counsellor, my approach is integrative which means that I can adapt the way I work to support a clients needs. 

I will support and encourage you to talk about you feelings and experiences whilst we work together to build a trusting relationship where you are free to be yourself.

I have experience of working with stress, anxiety, loss, bereavement and depression as well as sexuality and relationship difficulties.

The Person-Centred approach focuses on the here and now and encourages clients to think about the present time. It encourages client to express how they feel, gain self-awareness, help with self-development in a way that they can get a better understanding of who they are.

The Transaction Analysis approach, focuses on how clients express themselves and how they interact with others and form relationships.

Gestalt Therapy will help you to make sense of your current situation, by focusing on the relationship between your mind, body and soul and the emotions and feelings that you are experiencing.

Initial consultation

If you like, we can dive straight into our first session – either online or at my counselling practice in Blandford, during which we will talk about what you want to get out of counselling and decide how to move forward. However, many people prefer to have a 15-20-minute chat with me over the phone before getting started. This chat is totally free, giving you the chance to ask any questions and see if you feel comfortable with me.
