I will provide a non-judgemental and confidential space to talk. I can help you to explore and find ways to cope with issues, thoughts and emotions that are having negative impact on your life. I will support you to build resilience and confidence as you take steps towards a more fulfilling and happier life. Please see the ‘About me’ page on this website for more details about my experience and the issues I can support you with.

How it works

You are welcome to a free 15 minute consultation to help you decide whether to you wish to go ahead with counselling. This can be arranged via Teams video or telephone.

In your first counselling session we will discuss the background to your issues so that we can ensure that counselling will meet your needs. If we both agree that I can support you, we can continue to meet regularly.

Counselling would usually take place weekly or fortnightly, and each session will last 50 minutes. The sessions will take place in a private room in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne or Morpeth, Northumberland. I also offer counselling via video or telephone.

In terms of the number of sessions required, there is no ‘one size fits all’ and this will be regularly reviewed. Depending on the issues brought to counselling, some clients can feel much better after few sessions, whereas some clients require more than six sessions to feel more able to cope.
