During 2021 and the early part of 2022 I undertook some additional specialist training to gain a CPCAB accredited level 5 qualification in working with children and young people.
From September I will offer counselling to young people aged 13 years and over. If you are interested in this new service please do get in touch or keep checking in on my website or social media for updates.

I've had a very busy few months and have been working with some amazing people. However I now have capacity for a few new clients. Whether you'd like online, phone or in-person appointments I can accommodate this. Please have a look at where and how I work and if you'd like to make an enquiry or book an appointment then do get in touch. It's a big step to take, but remember that there's no obligation to go ahead if you chat with me and decide I'm not the right counsellor for you!

Today I've brought my diary up to date and I'm pleased to let you know I have some availability for counselling support, face to face (indoors and outdoors) and online.
If you think it might be helpful to access counselling support but you're not quite sure what this entails, please contact me and we can arrange an informal telephone chat to find out more about the process, and to see whether you would feel happy working with me.
Of course you may already know what is involved, but maybe taking the step to make contact feels really daunting. Again, drop me an email or text and we can arrange a telephone chat. There's no obligation to continue further in the process, so what have you got to lose?!

Wow, almost a week into 2022 already! I hope that everyone has had a restful, happy and healthy time over the holiday period. I know I was very ready for a break: I find the short days and long periods of darkness leave me with depleted energy levels and a real urge to hibernate!
With the turn of the year, though, the daylight hours are slowly stretching out and in spite of winter weather I'm noticing signs of growth and change in nature, as buds form on trees and hedges, and - on sunny days at least - joyous birdsong.
I am not one for making new year's resolutions; it feels like an unnecessary pressure and anyway, why does the date make a difference to my intentions? However, I definitely think that after "recharging" over the holiday period (and unlike many, I have been lucky enough to take a long break) this is a good time to reflect on where I'm at...
I work face to face indoors at Bab'yama Wellness Hub and Broomhouse Farmhouse, outdoors in Berwick, Coldstream and Kelso and also online and by telephone.
Contact me for an informal, no obligation chat to see whether counselling is something that may help you with emotional or psychological challenges you are experiencing at this time.

What a year it's been so far! In some ways it's been quick - how did we reach midsummer already?! In other ways, though, the year has really dragged. Whilst we aren't yet free from restrictions relating to Covid-19 it does feel as if we're taking small steps towards moving out of lockdown.
I'm continuing to offer counselling appointments on video call or phone to anyone who lives in the UK. However I'm now also offering face to face counselling appointments indoors at the lovely Bab'yama Wellness Hub. As a new addition I to my service I'm offering outdoor therapy around Berwick-upon-Tweed, Coldstream and Kelso. So whatever the current Covid-19 situation you can still access therapy,
To find out more please contact me and I'll get back to you within 48 hours.

Moving so quickly into a new national lockdown is not quite the way any of us wanted to start 2021 however given the huge increase in Covid infections there seems no choice at this time.
Due to the new restrictions I am still unable to offer face-to-face appointments however I am continuing to work online, both by video and telephone, and I am more than happy to discuss this with you if you are thinking of accessing counselling support.
Please email me using the contact form, or directly to bncounselling@outlook.com, or telephone 07379 094 466 - please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Stay safe everyone!
