I'm a mature counsellor with in-depth experience of working with people facing difficulties and life challenges. I work with a wide range of problems including anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, depression, life crisis, addictions, low self-esteem, abuse, disempowerment, bottled up feelings, anger-management, bereavement, trauma, illness and loss of meaning.
My approach is rooted in kindly, non-judgemental, sensitive listening, mindfulness, and authentic relating. We are all unique and I don’t believe in fixes or formulas that work for everyone. I do however know, both from my own experience, my training and my work with others, a variety of techniques of proven effectiveness in promoting greater self-acceptance and happier, more fulfilled, living.
I follow an integrative approach, drawing on what is best in the fields of counselling, psychotherapy, and various meditation practices. I like to be flexible and to work together with you in an open and interactive exploration that enables you to find your own individual solutions.
Our work together will, of course, be about you, not me, but I am not a brick wall and am prepared, as appropriate, to offer an opinion or a respectful challenge. I always feel honoured when people relate honestly whatever is going on for them, however difficult, and I greatly enjoy helping people to access their own inner resources in order to find greater self-acceptance and relief from avoidable suffering.

Wyon has identified some of my underlying issues and our conversations help my self understanding. Look forward to more exploring and mechanisms for accepting/coping.
