​Further Information


I am an experienced and qualified integrative therapist and therefore able to draw upon a range of therapies (including person-centered, psychodynamic and CBT) and tailor them to meet your individual needs. I am able to provide short-term, long-term and time-limited therapy.

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (RMBACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions. I have regular supervision, undertake continuous professional development (CPD) and am fully insured.

It's easy to get started, just give me a call or send me an email and we can agree a time for a free 20-minute telephone consultation to help you decide if counselling is the right form of support for you.

The next stage is to agree a time and day to meet for our sessions which will last for 50 minutes (usually weekly). Counselling rooms are located in central Farnham, Surrey (with nearby parking facilities and numerous links to public transport).

Cost: £45 within clinic hours (Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon) and £50 outside clinic hours, with some concessions for those on a low income or students.

* ​I  also specialise in working with the elderly and can provide  1:1 sessions in residential care homes in Farnham and the surrounding area. Please contact me for further information and costs.

Counselling can help you view your life through a different lens; to see the positives that exist and improve your ability to develop resilience when dealing with difficult or challenging circumstances. Working with a counsellor can also enable you to:


  • Identify the root causes of issues and problems in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space.
  • Develop a greater degree of self-awareness, leading to improved self-esteem and self-worth.
  • Assist in understanding your past, enabling you to concentrate on your future.
  • Improve performance, communication skills and resilience.
  • Help identify solutions to specific work or personal issues.
  • Assist in gaining clarity and insight to find purpose in life.
