I offer a Free Initial Consultation and I work in all areas such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, low self-confidence, bereavement, stress, relationship issues, OCD & much more. I am an experienced and compassionate counsellor offering one-to-one counselling for adults in a calm, confidential setting—either in person, from my peaceful garden cabin in Bardwell (just 9 miles northeast of Bury S
t Edmunds), or remotely via Microsoft Teams or telephone. Sometimes we all find ourselves struggling through life, facing emotions & feelings, situations & behaviours that we think we have to manage alone. At these times in our lives we just need a bit of space & peace to talk, be heard and work out exactly where we are in our lives & where we want to be. I know picking up the phone or emailing can be daunting and perhaps difficult and that you may have been thinking about it for some time and only now feel able to take that step. I will always answer my phone if I am able to and respond to emails as quickly as possible. Both my phones and email are confidential and messages can be left in confidence - please leave your message including your name and details of the best way to contact you. Perhaps you are facing something specific, or perhaps it feels harder to name? My ethos is one of true compassion which is rooted in my deep respect for every person making this decision to reach out for support. I will not be passing judgement nor will I tell you what to do -I am here to guide and support you to reach the answers and decisions you need for yourself but that may feel too painful, confusing or difficult to work out on your own right now. These are just some examples of areas I can offer support with:
Anxiety, panic attacks, stress or persistent worry
Low self-esteem or confidence
Depression or general emotional overwhelm
ADHD-related challenges
Grief, loss, bereavement
Trauma, abuse (emotional, physical, sexual)
Relationship and family struggles
Coercive control, co-dependency
Identity, purpose, belonging
Work-related concerns: employment, redundancy or retirement
Social anxiety, isolation or feeling disconnected
Compulsive thoughts and behaviours
I will work with you to help you make sense of those difficult feelings, explore those changes which you feel would benefit you, helping you to fulfil your potential. Free Initial Consultation session - Taking that first step into counselling can sometimes feel daunting, so I offer a free initial consultation to help ease that process. It’s simply a chance for us to meet, talk through what’s brought you here, and gently explore whether counselling may be helpful for you. I will also explain how I work and explain in more detail what I can offer you and how we could work together. There’s no pressure to continue beyond this session. Should you feel comfortable moving forward, the consultation also reserves your regular appointment day and time. No referral is needed to contact me. You may be feeling very alone with your thoughts and feelings and unsure of how to move through them - having someone by your side in these times can bring about change quicker than struggling alone.
