About me and my therapy practice

Covid-19- I am working by video, ‘phone and also by face to face for clients who particularly need this.  I have introduced a range of measures to make sure sessions are as safe as possible.

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 many years and work with people of all ages, races, sexualities and genders and with a wide range of issues.  I offer face to face counselling and also online by video call and by telephone.  I also work with both individuals and couples.

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 specialise in working with young people.   In addition to this I also work 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.  

I have 5 years experience in a drugs and alcohol agency and 4 years with a well respected charity dealing with domestic and sexual abuse.  I have also worked as a therapist for a children's home and school specialising in helping young people from traumatic backgrounds and affected by school exclusion.  As well as my private practice I also work as a counsellor for employee assistance programmes and at the local university. I hold an advanced certificate in couples counselling.  

My fee for individual sessions is £45, couples counselling is £55, students undergoing counselling training pay £40. There is a surcharge of £5 per session for employee assistance programmes and I have a 24 hour cancellation policy.
