About Me

I offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

I have worked with many clients with varied issues. When I first started I worked in with bereavement a while after my husband had died at an early age. Later I moved into more general counselling and expanded my knowledge, understanding and experience. For the last ten years I have worked in the area of anger management both teaching and counselling. This is now my specialism.

I am passionate about helping people with their anger but I especially like working with men. I want to help you to understand your anger and where it stems from. What makes you go from 0 to 100 in a flash? Why do you always fly off the handle? Why do my relationships always fail because of my anger? Why do I keep losing jobs because I cannot control my myself? I want to help you discover the answers to these questions. I want you to be more aware of your anger and then we can start working on dealing with it in a more healthy way.

I get a great deal of satisfaction helping you transform yourself. With a little bit of understanding and help I want to help you see, think and act differently so you can be more at peace with yourself and those around you.

As well as counselling I used to teach (until Dec 2019) Well Being Courses (Anxiety, Stress, etc.) but my main subject was Anger Management. This is where my real passion for working with anger came from.

I also counsel for a local charity based on the Fylde.
