Counselling can help you find a way forward through all sorts of things: major life-events, difficulties in personal or professional relationships, and traumatic or painful issues from the past. It can also help in less acute situations: if you just don't feel right, have niggling dissatisfactions with life, or want to take some time for your own personal growth and development.
This site will help you find out more about person-centred counselling and see if it might be of help to you. With no obligation or commitment, you are warmly invited to contact me if you'd like to find out more, or book a reduced-fee first appointment. Meeting face-to-face can often help you decide whether it would feel useful to work together.

The person-centred approach was first developed by Carl Rogers in the mid 20th century. It has a hopeful view of human nature, and it holds that all humans have the capacity to heal, develop and grow. It does not deny the existence of trauma, anger, loss, despair, sorrow, fear or other "difficult" emotions.
Supervision is the place where the joys and challenges of working with clients can be shared, examined, held and learned from. I am committed to the person-centred model in my work as a supervisor. I aim to offer the core conditions to all supervision clients, and to support supervisees' ongoing development as reflective practitioners who can work as professionally, ethically, safely, creatively and effectively as possible.
Like the 42 group, these workshops bring together my passions for literature and person-centredness, and have at their heart a commitment to personal meaning-making and growth. No expertise in either literature or person-centredness is necessary. Though they would be suitable for practitioners looking for CPD, these gatherings are friendly, informal and open to anyone interested in exploration and reflection in a mutually-supportive atmosphere.
The 42 group is a thriving community of people who meet to talk about-yes-life, the universe and everything. We start with poems to get us into whatever we're talking about, and then let the discussion take us where it will. We meet once a month-the second Wednesday-at the Castle Street Community Centre in Kendal, in the evening.
I offer day and evening appointments in Kendal on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I also see clients on occasional Thursday mornings. I work at home in a relaxed, comfortable and non-medical environment. My consulting room is upstairs but for those with mobility issues there is also a working space available on the ground floor.
