Online Counselling.
Online Counselling is safe and easy. You can log on from anywhere you like, so it saves you travel costs and travel time. All you need for your online counselling is a smart phone, iPhone, laptop, tablet or a PC. You can find more about how to prepare for online counselling here.

Talking about personal issues is easier when you are in a familiar comfortable, safe place. My clients say that Online Counselling definitely has many advantages when compared to face to face counselling.

Counselling can bring up difficult emotions. After an online session, you can remain in the comfort of the safe place you chose to be and take some time to settle and relax afterwards.

If you have any questions, then please get in touch.

I am a Person Centred Counsellor, so our counselling meetings will focus on you and whatever issues you want to bring. I will provide the best conditions for you to feel safe, supported and able to talk about anything at all. Whatever issues you want to explore, I will listen with empathy and without judgement, sharing my knowledge and personal experience whenever it feels appropriate. Working together, we can enable you to make changes that will help you to find a way forward. I offer short or long-term therapy on an open ended basis.

You could be seeking counselling for a number of different reasons. It may be that you have a specific issue, such as a bereavement or a loss of a different sort, anxiety, depression, work related stress, drink or drug abuse, relationship problems, obsessive behaviour or addiction. Perhaps you experience general feelings of worthlessness or low self-esteem. Is it just that you have an underlying sense discomfort or a feeling of ‘impending doom' that you can’t seem to shift? Whatever it is that is troubling you or making you uncomfortable, I can help.

I believe that the quality of the relationship between client and counsellor is the most important factor in enabling change to take place. That is why I offer a low cost, no obligation introductory session. That will help you decide whether or not I’m the right counsellor for you. If you call or text me, we can start by having an informal chat contact me

As a Person Centred Counsellor (online) I will be genuine and authentic throughout our counselling relationship, I do not wear a 'counsellor hat'. I will work alongside you in order for us to find possible solutions to your problems with honesty and integrity. My own personal experiences during some chaotic and difficult times in my life, along with my extensive work experience and training help me to genuinely relate to you and truly understand your struggles. Working together, we will explore ways of moving forwards.

Your counselling sessions will help you to understand yourself and your emotions better. One of the ways we might do this is by identifying negative or destructive cycles in your life. Exploring the reasons behind them and then looking for ways to prevent them from happening over and over again. We would try to identify more positive cycles that are already part of your life, which are more beneficial to your well-being and work at strengthening them. Counselling is a unique opportunity for you to discover more about yourself and what triggers feelings or emotions that you struggle with. These are often reactions to people, places and things that you find difficult to understand or control.

If you think you have a problem with alcohol, prescription or illicit drug use, problem gambling, gaming, internet, then I will draw on my deep understanding of addiction, obsessive behaviour and the associated issues. I have personal experience of a range of addictions, alcoholism and recovery as well as being a trained alcohol and addiction counsellor. This has given me an extensive working knowledge of recovery including the 12 step program, enhanced by my time spent counselling and key-working in a well regarded Brighton and Hove residential alcohol and drug rehab. I live my life free from addiction and have been clean and sober for more than 10 years.

I have a unique combination of experience both as a counsellor and in my own - sometimes turbulent - personal journey through life. My knowledge helps me to genuinely understand your difficulties and enables me to assist you in exploring personal issues and obstacles you may have, whether they are current problems, or past experiences that continue to affect you in your day to day life. Together, we will work towards strengthening your inner resources, which can improve your self-confidence and help you feel more optimistic about your future.

You might be seeking therapy because you suffered childhood abuse, trauma or abandonment. You may be struggling with generalised anxiety, a personal loss or a bereavement. Perhaps you feel generally troubled, but can't quite work out why or are living with a constant sense of unease which you can't seem to shake off.


Our counselling sessions can help you to understand some of the reasons behind reactions or feelings you experience that are bothering you. I will help you to explore anything that is affecting you, in a genuine and compassionate way. Together we will work towards finding a solution. For you to be able to see ahead more clearly.

Why not take that first step and contact me now. Text, phone or e-mail - whichever suits you. I offer a low cost first meeting with no obligation, so that you can find out if you’re comfortable talking with me. If you feel up to it, then why not call me for an informal chat or contact me by email.
