What I want you to know about me.
I’m a real person first, and a counsellor second. My qualifications and training guide me, but I believe it’s the relationship between us that creates change.
This is a space away from friends and family, where their opinions don’t interfere, and where your perspective is front and centre.
I never want you to feel like you’re talking to a textbook. I’ll be alongside you, as a genuine person, every step of the way.
To help you feel at ease, I hold my sessions in a beautifully renovated caravan. This ‘home-from-home’ space is cosy and welcoming, with tea or coffee to hand, so you can relax and feel safe as we explore whatever you’re facing.
The Caravan
I conduct my face to face counselling sessions from the comfort of a cosy, welcoming caravan located in Copmanthorpe, York. The beauty of this space means that it offers a home from home feel which can help make you feel at ease.
With cushions, blankets, hot drinks and easy access to the nature outside, it’s the perfect place to reflect on your feelings.
