COUNSELLOR BASED IN FAREHAM AND ONLINE
We all react differently to events in our lives. We experience our own thoughts and emotions and can sometimes struggle to make sense of them. Each of us is unique and we see and experience the world in our own way. Sometimes things happen that can overwhelm you causing anxiety and stress which impacts on your life and your ability to function. Counselling gives you a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. The process supports you to unravel the threads that have become tightly wound and allows you to see a way forward.
I am a Humanistic Gestalt counsellor based in Fareham. I value the uniqueness of the person. I work creatively in the "Here and Now" to raise awareness to what is real, significant and important to you. This awareness allows you to make choices about your life and lead to an increase in self-esteem and confidence.
"The more we can accept the aspects of our self that we find unacceptable, the more likely it is that change will occur", Carl Rogers

I have experience working with adults from across a wide sector of the community who present with a range of issues including anxiety, stress and depression.

Ideally counselling sessions should be weekly to maximise the effect of the therapy. If this is not possible then we will agree a schedule that works for you. If you have any questions, please contact me either by phone, text or email and I will respond promptly and arrange a convenient time to talk.
I have daytime and evening appointments available Monday through Thursday.
