This may be the first time you have ever considered talking to someone, about worries you may have. Counselling isn't the same as listening to a friend offload his/her problems. Although family and friends are very important in supporting you through difficult times, you may worry about upsetting them, or feel that they might not be able to be objective.

A counsellor can help you think about your difficulties from a different perspective so that you can be free to find your own solutions.                              

Personal problems Grief, anxiety, stress, depression, mid-life crisis, low self-esteem, self-harm, sexual identity, race and discrimination, personal growth.  

Abuse Rape, childhood sexual abuse, emotional, physical and sexual abuse.   

Relationships Isolation, loneliness, loss, bereavement, bullying and sexual difficulties

 
 All counselling sessions are confidential. Very occasionally, I might need to make contact with other professionals, but this would only be done with your informed consent, except in the very exceptional circumstances when you or someone else is at serious risk and you cannot be contacted for permission.
 I am open to work with people of all backgrounds, regardless of gender, sexuality, race, ability, class, or HIV status.
