As a Person-centred counsellor, I will provide a safe space and work with you as you look to find your own answers or help you learn acceptance through understanding.
Together we will find your way to be at peace with that which cannot be changed. We will explore your true thoughts and, in a non-judgemental way, consider if deeply held beliefs from others are actually still helpful to you.
Although based in Person-centred counselling, which is proven to work in most areas of life problems, I am trained and experienced in other ways of working too and we will draw on these, inner child work for example, if we agree they might help.
For uncomfortable and distressing memories and PTSD/C-PTSD I am trained in specific trauma techniques with proven effectiveness.
At all times I will always offer professional and confidential counselling keeping you at the heart of our work together.
We can work face-to-face, by telephone or by online video sessions to support you through the issues you choose to bring.
Here are just a few issues I can help you with...
How Can I Help You?
About My Counselling Services
About My Counselling Services
I have helped my clients with...
Grief and loss - Your grief might be from the bereavement of a loved one, a friend or really valued animal companion. It could be the break-up of a relationship, or the loss of a long held and valued job. All of these can be overwhelming, or make it seem impossible to face the future.
Anxiety and Panic

Grief and loss - Your grief might be from the bereavement of a loved one, a friend or really valued animal companion. It could be the break-up of a relationship, or the loss of a long held and valued job. All of these can be overwhelming, or make it seem impossible to face the future.
Anxiety and Panic Attacks - you might just feel or know something is not right but you don't know what with, or why, and are struggling to cope and need to work it out and get back control.
Life-changing or life-limiting circumstances - perhaps a health or medical condition are forcing a major change in your life, or are you a carer for someone who is facing these challenges.
Workplace stress or Burnout- Issues at work, professional relationships or workload causing problems? Are you struggling with the impact of workplace changes - return to the office perhaps? - and struggling to see a way forward?
Self esteem & Relationship - I only work with individuals, not couples, but have supported many to work out the issues causing upset or friction, even anxiety and panic attacks, in their life because of present or even past relationships.
Painful or troubling memories - are you avoiding thinking about an event or incident in your past because it is just too uncomfortable to think about? Or experienced something– recently or in your past - that has left you really emotionally bruised
Traumatic Experience - experienced an accident or an assault, dealing with complications following a medical procedure? You might be a survivor of domestic abuse or workplace bullying.
Is it affecting how you live your life now?
PTSD or cPTSD - Is just normal day-today living full of difficulties because of flashbacks or reactions that are out of your control? Rewind Technique is effective and less distressing than most other techniques for PTSD.
I have supported my clients to overcome all of these - and more.

Online & Telephone Counselling
Online therapy allows you to access support from the privacy, comfort and convenience of your own home - or wherever you are; all you need is internet access or a phone.
Many clients choose online therapy because the distance makes it feel less intimidating and telephone counselling can offer even more privacy.
It can be ideal if your lifestyle or job requires you to move around a lot. You must be UK based though as I comply with UK guidelines and regulations.
This makes it ideal if you are home-bound, have no reliable transportation, or live some distance away.
For online work I use a secure, certified medical video therapy platform - not Zoom or Teams- no downloads necessary, just a secure link into a virtual waiting room.
Why Black Star Counselling?
A Black Star represents profound change and unexplored potential. A Black Star offers a chance to explore the deeper parts of our being that are often veiled, just at edge of our awareness.
A Black Star symbolises a journey within, revealing hidden aspects of the you inside.
For some the journey might be a moments realisation, for others it mean be a deeper search or a longer journey.
A Black Star reminds us all that change comes from within and that within all of us, barely glimpsed at times, is the ability and strength to change.
