First Avenue Counselling

For many, just having someone to listen to their problems can be enough. But imagine if that person listening had undergone years of training, enabling them to interpret your thoughts and feelings, helping you to re-arrange them into a more rational and cohesive pattern and actually assisting you in challenging your current behaviour patterns to make your issues much easier to deal with.
It's about being able to have a safe and trusted environment where you feel comfortable to share whatever is going on for you, problems, concerns, areas you’d like to personally develop. Essentially, it’s time for you to just be you, free from any form of judgement.

I am a fully qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and mentor registered with The National Counselling Society - Ad.Dip.PsyC MNCS(Accred). I am also approved by Anxiety UK. More importantly, I have suffered a lot of trauma in my own life, particularly in relationships, which led me to study and become a counsellor, so that I could use my experience and skills to help those that are suffering as I did.

I offer my services online via Zoom or Teams and also by telephone. I am a certified Online and Telephone Counsellor with vast experience in this way of delivering sessions. Please see my website for full details.

I am currently able to return to face to face therapy with increased hygiene procedures in place. Clients can enter my counselling room without needing contact with others or having to touch anything. All surfaces and seating are wiped with recommended sanitising products between sessions. A distance of at least 2 metres can be maintained between myself and clients at all times. Masks are to be worn by all those attending face to face sessions.
Naturally, it is the client's choice as to how they wish to partake in sessions, so Online (Zoom), Telephone and Asynchronous sessions will continue as normal.
