Who do I work with?

Adults, Adolescents and Children

I can help you with the following problems:
Abuse | Adoption | Anxiety | Bereavement | Bullying | Depression | Difficulties at home, work, or school | Emotional Distress | Family Relationships | Family Dynamics | Loneliness | Mental Health | Panic Attacks | Relationships | Self-esteem | Self Harm | Sexuality | Stress

I offer a confidential service which will be explained at our initial meeting.

I believe each of us has the capacity and power to change, the therapeutic relationship being key

My training background is The Relational Approach which I work with primarily in a person-centered way creating a safe environment and a warm, non-judgmental relationship to enable you to explore issues that bought you to counselling.

Flexible Appointments

I work online and face to face in Harrogate, where there is free parking. I offer short-term, long-term or open-ended counselling; we can talk about this at the first meeting. Daytime and some evening appointments are usually available.
