I am a Christian counsellor and experienced lay minister with over twenty years of pastoral service across chaplaincy, education and community settings. I have served as a Mental Health Chaplain within the NHS, and previously as a Chaplain and teacher in an education,al setting.  These are experiences that have shaped my compassionate, steady and thoughtful approach to care.

My work integrates Christian faith, psychological insight and recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral care, drawing from:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Person-Centred approach

thus offering a safe and reflective space where individuals can explore emotional struggles, questions of faith, and life’s wider challenges.

At the heart of my work is the belief that every person is created with dignity, worth, and value.

Life in Bournemouth can look calm from the outside. The sea, the beaches, the gardens, the cliffs, the pier and the open sky can all give an impression of peace. Yet many people know that living near beautiful surroundings does not automatically bring peace within.

You may be carrying anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, grief, and spiritual questions, or a quiet sense that something in life feels heavier than it should. You may be functioning outwardly, going to work, caring for family, attending church, studying, or keeping up appearances — while inwardly feeling exhausted, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

Christian counselling for Bournemouth offers a safe, confidential online space where you can talk honestly about what you are facing, without having to separate your emotional life from your faith.

At ChristianCounselling.net, I offer professional, compassionate online counselling for individuals and couples across Bournemouth, Dorset and the wider UK. My approach integrates recognised counselling practice with Christian pastoral understanding, helping you explore emotional pain, relationships, patterns of thinking, life transitions and questions of faith in a thoughtful and respectful way.

If you are in crisis, you can also contact Samaritans for 24/7 support.

Bournemouth is often associated with sunshine, beaches, holidays, students, retirement, creativity and coastal living. But beneath the surface, many people in Bournemouth face pressures that are not always visible.

You may be living with anxiety while everyone assumes you are fine. You may be struggling with loneliness, even in a busy town. You may be grieving someone you love, facing a relationship breakdown, wrestling with depression, or questioning where God is in the middle of your pain.

For some people, Bournemouth represents a new start: moving for university, work, retirement, family, or a change of pace. But new starts can also bring uncertainty. Leaving familiar places, churches, friendships, routines or support networks can stir up anxiety, sadness, identity questions and spiritual disorientation.

For others, Bournemouth may be a place of long memories. The sea, the streets, the parks, the home, the church, or the places once shared with loved ones can carry grief as well as beauty.

Christian counselling Bournemouth does not pretend that faith removes emotional struggle. Instead, it creates space to bring the whole of your experience into the light — your thoughts, emotions, relationships, regrets, hopes, fears and questions before God.
