About my counselling practice

I am a BACP Registered Member counsellor working online and from Southwell (which is near Newark, Mansfield and Nottingham) .

I specialise in relationship counselling (multiple clients) and supporting individual clients seeking to explore their relationship with others or with themselves.

I typically work with clients seeking support with wide range of issues that affect romantic and familial relationships, also friendships and relationships of a professional nature. Some examples are communication difficulties, trust issues, parenting challenges or long-term relationship fatigue.

There is a growing recognition of the benefit in engaging in counselling before entering into a long term relationship commitment such as marriage in order to build a solid foundation and increase the likelihood of lasting, fulfilling and healthy partnerships and so I often also work with clients who are at the start of a new chapter in their lives.

I started my relational counselling training with Relate in 2022 and have continued to work for this charity since this time, alongside my private practice and other commitments.

My approach as a counsellor is bespoke to each client or clients, depending on their goals, needs and preferences. I would typically suggest ways in which we could work together, based on different counselling theories, and it would be for you as the client or clients to decide whether that feels appropriate for you, at that point in time.

There can be many reasons as to why we may wish or not wish to work with a particular counsellor and so, before we commit to working together, I first offer a 20 minute free online consultation, which is an opportunity for us to meet virtually, for you to ask any questions that you may have and also for me to understand a little more about what is bringing you to counselling at this point in time.
