I work with phobias including needles, flying, heights, spiders, blood, and visiting the dentist. I can also help with complex phobias such as agoraphobia and social phobia.

• Agoraphobia is where someone fears and avoids places or situations that might cause them to panic or feel trapped. It could be leaving home, travelling on public transport, or being in enclosed spaces.
• Social phobia is the fear of social situations such as public speaking, starting conversations, or eating and drinking in public.

Phobias can cause many different physical symptoms, you might experience increased heartbeat, dry mouth, feeling faint, excessive sweating, panic attacks, churning stomach, feelings of overwhelm, dizziness, nausea, inability to stay still, irritability, and an upset stomach.

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.
