The main indicator of a good outcome in any therapy is the right fit between counsellor and client. My counselling style is honest and simple. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to find satisfaction in life. Using empathy and caring, I work alongside you to access your unique strengths to find your own truth, joy and happiness. To be effective in helping you find your most authentic and whole life, I use a tailored and integrated approach, looking at your whole person with mindfulness and respect for your values, spirituality and beliefs.  My experience is in person-centred counselling with the use of Gestalt therapy and positive psychology in the treatment of stress, anxiety and depression. I follow Buddhist principles which align with current psychology. I have a special interest in LGBTIQ+ and other minorities whose issues and concerns I welcome.  Over my lifetime I have been a nurse, a teacher and a behaviour support practitioner, I have experienced personal grief, loss, fear and confusion which has given me huge respect and positive regard for humanity in all its forms and the impetus to support people into life harmony. I aim to align the use of my skills and knowledge to support you in realising your joy and happiness.
