I address various forms of childhood abuse, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, and exposure to domestic violence. I provide care for both acute and complex trauma resulting from these experiences.

Common effects of childhood abuse on mental health include depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), low self-esteem, difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, and issues with trust and intimacy. Survivors may also experience flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional numbness.

No, you do not need to be referred by your GP. I do take referrals from GPs, charities, and organisations, but most of my clients are self-referrals.

Each session lasts 50 minutes. I offer a free initial telephone consultation to understand your goals for counselling, which we will review at regular intervals.

You are welcome to continue with counselling for as long as you feel it benefits you, which may be a matter of weeks or longer term.

Visit the Contact Page for details. I will endeavour to respond as soon as possible to arrange a convenient time for us to meet.

Yes, we will still begin with an initial free telephone consultation before moving on to Zoom. For quality purposes, it is essential you have a good internet connection.
