About Me

How I work:

• In person at Ambleside Parish Centre, South Cumbria. The building is fully accessible with free parking and toilets.
• Online via Zoom
• Telephone

I can offer an initial 30 minute consultation session, free of charge, so you can see if this is something you would like to take forward with me.  

I can offer day appointments, occasional evening ones.

Initial 30 minute consultation session is free

Subsequent sessions are £45 for 1 hour 

I have had several years training and experience in Person Centred counselling including complex grief; traumatic bereavement; depression; anxiety and suicidal thoughts. I have been involved with the bereavement charity Cruse for a number of years, working with bereaved individuals through their grief. I am the Mental Health & Wellbeing Lead at my place of work, working with Senior Management Team to embed a positive approach to mental health and supporting people who need it. 

I live and work in South Cumbria with my family and our dog. I love reading, wild swimming and yoga.
