Current waiting time for appointments is 5 weeks.

Bookings and availability checking can be done via the booking tab on the Reflections Practice Ltd website

I've been working with individuals, couples, young people and groups for 20 years using counselling, coaching and personal development approaches in ways that suits a variety of personalities and lifestyles.

I am also a Clinical Supervisor for other therapists, pastoral support workers and mental health professionals.  

Both face to face and digital appointments can be booked for people living in the local area.  Digital platforms can be used as an alternative for people in the UK and some international destinations.   

To get rapid change, I use a range of supportive face to face approaches including CBT, dynamic coaching, professional education and neuroscience principles to find strategies to manage changes in both personal, family and work life.

Medium to longer term traditional person centred counselling can be given to support emotional issues for individuals who wish for more space and time to work through the anxiety of traumatic events.

I work with conflict management in family units, relationship issues, general anxiety disorder, depression and personal development.  I work with clients to find strategies for them to become emotionally stronger for life's future events. Resilience building for a future more in control.

Sessions take place on our premises in a private professional therapy room based in Grantham (NG31) and not in a home environment.  The location is air conditioned, comfortable with plenty of parking, secure access and multi purpose access to other organisations allowing for privacy on entering.  15-30 minute gaps between appointments protect your confidentiality on visiting.  

Flexible appointments (days, evenings or weekends).  Appointments can be arranged over the phone, email or if you are keen to get started straight away, you can access the Reflections Practice Ltd website to see availability, with you diary in hand, and make a booking now. 

Work place (EAP) clients can contact me directly to work on a plan to support staff. 

I work days, evenings and weekends. You can manage your own appointments using the online booking system. I do not charge a cancellation fee, so you can cancel at anytime by going online.  All I ask is that you cancel if you can't attend rather than missing the appointment.  

Fees:

£50 for 1hr (the most popular choice)

A variety of time options allow for a more accessible price range, from £30 for 30 mins, £40 for 45 mins, £65 for 90 mins, £85 for 120 mins

You can always book a free 15 mins session (phone or digital) to find out more before you book for a full counselling session.

In our first counselling session I will outline more about the way I work.  We talk about what you are looking for and we see if I am the right type of therapist for you.  We talk about the professional relationship in therapy so you understand the boundaries I work within.
