Life moves quickly. Often there doesn't seem like time to absorb what has happened or how it has affected us. Other times we might have a sense that something is wrong without being able to articulate what it is.

Therapy provides a space to slow down and reflect, whether in a time of crisis, such as a relationship breakdown or job redundancy, or for personal development, where people seek to know themselves more deeply.

Little by little, Gestalt therapy seeks to give the client a greater awareness of themselves, their circumstances, and their ways of relating. Counselling can also provide support during difficult or trying times.

I believe counselling can benefit anyone who is genuinely curious about themselves and provides a place where personal growth can occur. I often describe counselling as 'work' to clients, and it can be some of the richest and most rewarding work a person can do.

I am available for sessions via Zoom, in Chelmsford, Essex on Thursdays, and in Shoreditch, London on Friday afternoons.

Counselling sessions are fifty minutes long and require a weekly commitment to attend. The session will be at the same time and place each week wherever possible. I initially suggest to new clients that we work together for twelve weeks.

Each session is £60 payable in cash at the beginning of the session. I have limited availability for low cost counselling for  clients on lower incomes.

It can be very daunting coming to the first session, especially if one doesn't know what to expect from therapy. My intention as a therapist is to see if we click, and discover if the client feels comfortable with both me and the venue. 
I cover the basics of how I work, and we talk about the problems you are facing and what you hope to achieve through the sessions.
