      <image:caption>I have a therapy suite based in Derwentside and I work mainly from here. Arrangements can be agreed to work from a venue closer to you by prior agreement. The therapy suite provides a safe and confidential environment for you. I also offer online therapy so no matter where you are you can still arrange counselling sessions. As a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor I believe I am there to stand beside you and support you through difficult and challenging times. I believe everyone has the potential to work things out with a little help and support and to find their direction in life. Taking the first step is tough but you will be glad you did. Come and talk and let us help.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Couples Therapy - Couples Therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>If we decide to go ahead with couples therapy how does it work ? Couples therapy can help you reset a relationship to focus on the things you both want to achieve. The initial session is with both participants together so that we can discuss the main issues and difficulties arising in the relationship. There may then be some separate sessions where each individual gets the opportunity to talk to the therapist about their own thoughts and feelings. Couples therapy has a high percentage success rate and will at least help to move a situation on when it feels stuck.</image:caption>
