Finding the right counsellor is important

Finding the right counsellor is important therefore I offer a free of charge 15 - 20 minute introductory telephone call. The call will give you an opportunity to ask me questions and also help give me an understanding of some of the difficulties you are experiencing and if I can be of help.  

If you wish we can then arrange an appointment for a 50 minute initial consultation at a reduced rate of £40.00.  This will give us the opportunity to meet either in person or over Zoom/telephone.  

The initial consultation takes the form of an assessment and during the assessment we can talk about how we may work together and establish what you would like to achieve from having therapy.

 

How I can help 

I am able to work with clients who present with a range of concerns and for several years I worked at a respected local charity counselling adult survivors of childhood trauma and abuse.  

I am experienced in working with:

anxiety, trauma, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence and domestic abuse.  

I have also worked as a counsellor within the drug and alcohol services, both at the assessment stage, when clients first enter treatment, and again during during their treatment programme. 

I later worked with clients who had completed abstinence programmes and needed support in maintaining their recovery.  

Other areas I can help with include depression, loss, bereavement, stress, anger management, relationship breakup and employment issues.

Where I work

I work from a log cabin within my garden in the BH9 area of Bournemouth.  Both on road and off road parking is available and I am within easy reach of surrounding areas such as Poole, Ferndown and Christchurch.

I also offer counselling to clients over Zoom or telephone and can provide home visits to those who are home bound.
