About Me

I am a psychotherapist based in Sidmouth, Devon, United Kingdom. I hold accreditation as a Counsellor and as an Accredited Professional Counsellor. I provide counselling for abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, PTSD and suicide bereavement or crisis.

Approach

I became a counsellor and psychotherapist because I care about people and want to make a positive difference to their lives. My primary aim is to enable you to discover a better way of living and coping, no matter what challenges or difficulties life throws at you.

I offer a confidential space in which you can talk, and this means that I don't discuss the content of our work with your GP, family or workplace.
