Gloucester, Gloucestershire
I provide counselling to both individuals and couples for a variety of issues. I believe that that the timing is as important as the therapy itself. When we reach the decision to seek counselling it is then that we are ready to really engage.

What do you love most about your job?
Being with clients on their journey of self discovery and watching them reconnect with who they want to be.
I don't consider being a counsellor just a job, I consider it an honour and a privilege.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having started up a successful counselling charity, providing good professional counselling training and supporting counselling students. I became very frustrated at the lack of professional development and increasingly long waiting list. I believe passionately that counselling works best when the client is ready to engage which is something I am able to do as an independent therapist. I also believe that if the timing is right the amount of therapy required can be significantly reduced.
Why should our clients choose you?
Counselling depends so much on the therapeutic relationship. To ensure that I am the right therapist for the client I offer a free consultation for clients to consider whether they are happy to work with me.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes once the client has made contact by email or telephone, I will then arrange the sessions via Skype or Zoom, or telephone if the client prefers.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
At the moment I am only working remotely. My practice has been adapted for social distancing and sanitising but I prefer to work remotely until the virus is under control.
