Availability

I am physically based near Leeds but see clients remotely from across the country.

I currently work on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9am until 6pm, and often have spaces at different times on both days. My remote sessions are done on Google Meets, and I email out a link for each session shortly before the agreed time.

Remote sessions can also be done on phone if that is preferable.

About me and my therapy practice

When I describe myself as ‘Person-Centred’ I mean that the aim, more than anything, is to offer you a space to explore anything you want about yourself, without judgment, in a space of empathy and genuineness. You are in control of what you want to talk about, and how deeply you want to go into it. Rather than specific strategies or advice, my aim is be alongside you as closely as I can, wherever it is that you want to go and what you want to explore. I won’t tell you what to do or suggest what you ‘should’ be feeling, because I believe that you are the expert on yourself and you are the best person to navigate your own life - what I aim to do though is work with you collaboratively to help you get into a place which is more in line with where you want to be.

What I will do in the session though is attempt, as best I can, to understand exactly what it is like to be you in the present moment, and to communicate that understanding as genuinely as I can with you. The sense of safety and understanding that I hope we can develop from this is the starting point from which we can work collaboratively to use the space as you see fit. Some people come with clear mental health goals in mind and want to talk about specific things about themselves, while others want to use the space to explore broader personal questions about their life and who they are. Others still have no particular plans for what to do in the space, but nevertheless feel that they get something out of it. All are fine - it is your space to do what you want with.

Some people come for a long time, while some people come for only a handful of sessions; I’ve had some people come for one session and feel that was enough, while others come for a handful of weekly sessions every now and then. As well as how you use the space, you are also in control of how long you want to come for.

Practice description

I see clients remotely across the UK, by video chat and on the phone.

If £50 per session is likely to be difficult for you, I do have some spaces where I can offer a lower amount, so get in touch and we can talk about your situation and what you can afford.

Equally, if you can afford more than £50 and would like to 'pay it forward', let me know and paying something extra would enable me to offer a lower price to an extra person who can't afford it at my normal rate.

I have been practicing for many years and have supported people with a wide variety of issues. I have experience working with adults, young people (12-18) and children, and have an additional qualification specifically in counselling children.

Alongside counselling itself, I have previously spent time managing a counselling service in a primary school, and for 4 years I taught on the Level 4 Counselling Diploma, supporting students to become qualified counsellors. I currently work as a Crisis Specialist Worker for Leeds Survivor-Led Crisis Service, alongside working in private practice.

Other areas of counselling I can work with:

BDSM and Polyamory - I regard myself as poly-aware and kink-aware, so am comfortable working with people from either/both communities, and also people just wanting to explore any feelings about kink or polyamorous relationships in a safe and accepting environment.

My first session

I offer people a free 30 minute 'consultation session' - essentially a chat where you can explain what's going on for you, what you want out of therapy, and for me to explain a little more about how I work and what I can offer.

Research has suggested that one of the most significant factors in having a positive experience of therapy is the client feeling comfortable with their therapist. With that in mind, I am happy to offer this before any paid sessions for free and without obligation.

What I can help with

Abuse, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Bereavement, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Cultural issues, Depression, Health related issues, Identity issues, LGBTQ+ counselling, Loss, Men's issues, Obsessions, OCD, Personal development, Post-traumatic stress, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Stress, Substance Dependency, Trauma, Women's issues, Work related issues

Types of therapy

Existential, Humanistic, Person centred, Relational

Clients I work with

Adults, Older adults, Trainees, Young people

How I deliver therapy

Long term sessions, Online therapy, Short term sessions, Telephone therapy, Time-limited
