About me and my therapy practice

I am based in the Hamble/Netley Abbey area of Southampton and provide supportive, caring and non judgemental counselling. I have been in private practice for a number of years now and work with people of all ages, races, sexualities and genders and with a wide range of issues.

I have extensive specialist experience in working with trauma (in particular, sexual and domestic abuse) and with alcohol and other addictions (for example, gambling, drugs, food, porn, shopping).  I also work with couples and a with a very wide range of other issues including anxiety, depression, sexuality, bereavement, relationships, family and work issues, o.c.d. and eating disorders to name but a few.

In terms of working for agencies I have over 5 years' experience in a drugs and alcohol agency and almost 4 years with a well respected local charity dealing with domestic and sexual abuse.  I work as a counsellor for employee assistance programmes and also currently work as a therapist for a children's home and school specialising in helping young people from traumatic backgrounds and affected by school exclusion.  In addition to my general counselling qualifications I hold an advanced certificate in couples counselling.  
I work with individuals and couples face to face and by telephone or skype/facetime.

My fee for an individual face to face session is £45, couples counselling is £55, for students undergoing counselling training the fee is £40.  For clients referred by employee assistance programmes I charge a surcharge of £5 per session which helps to cover my increased costs in respect of monitoring and invoicing.
