Counselling and Psychotherapy in Derbyshire and Online
Your mental health and well-being are too important to ignore and affect so much: Relationships, work, health and overall quality of life. But you don’t have to struggle alone. I can help you work through challenging times and difficult feelings.
I provide a supportive and nurturing environment for people of all ages seeking to work through pain, anger or confusion, feel better equipped to overcome personal challenges, gain self-awareness, and achieve emotional well-being.
I work with adults and children
As an experienced and compassionate therapist, I’m interested in you, your history and whatever it is that brings you to counselling. I’m here to help.
Whether you prefer the convenience of online counselling or the warmth of face-to-face sessions we can work through it together.
With comfortable offices in two beautiful locations in the heart of Derbyshire, one rural with views over the Peak District National Park and one in the centre of Matlock, you can choose your preferred setting or book for online or phone sessions.
I work in-person, online or by phone
Whether you choose online, telephone or in-person counselling, or a mixture, I’ll work with the same warmth, and ethical approach. Firstly, you may have things you need to get off your chest and goals to clarify. Then we can explore your thoughts, feelings, physical reactions and behaviours to gain new insights and understanding. If it would be helpful, we might look back on your life and work out what aspects of your development contributed to the way you’re feeling now and why. It’s not always easy, but I’ll be focussed on your needs both in our sessions and for the future.
I offer a free initial half hour consultation

Making the future brighter
I have experience of working with people of all ages who have chosen counselling to help them get in touch with, express and explore feelings, to make changes, or find acceptance so they can live a fuller, more balanced life.
I believe in the ability of every individual to thrive and take responsibility for making positive changes and the need in all humans for warmth and connection for this to happen. I became a counsellor because I believe that counselling works.
We can’t change the past but you can work through what’s happened and how it’s affecting the present to make the future brighter.
How Counselling can help
In counselling you can offload your troubles, explore your thoughts and feelings and work towards personal growth and positive change.
Feeling heard, seen and validated is the the starting point for working towards feeling safer, more resilient, better.
Our safe, non-judgmental, professional relationship may highlight patterns of expectations and behaviours that show up in other relationships past and present so I work with gentle curiosity and noticing to help you understand yourself and others.
Developing a deeper understanding of yourself and why you feel or behave the way you do can help you work out how to cope in difficult situations, improve communication and relationships.
