I currently have availability for online sessions with a waiting list for face to face sessions

There are times in life when we simply feel overwhelmed, lost or simply come to a fork in the road and not know which direction to take.    By talking to someone and processing feelings around situations and experiences, it's possible to gain insight and understanding around what is going on for us.  

The start of my own therapy journey was daunting so I understand that this first step can be difficult.  Because of this, I offer a free 20 minute telephone or video session to give you the chance to see if you feel we can work together.

I hold a first class BA (Hons) degree in counselling and psychotherapy as well as a MA (HRM) in Human Resource Management.  I work from a person-centred perspective, believing that every individual knows what's best for them, even if they're currently struggling with that fact, but my HR background means that I am also able to integrate coaching and mentoring into my practice, should it be appropriate.

I have worked with domestic abuse clients, working with trauma and abuse and as well as my private practice, I currently work in a small cancer charity where I have extensive experience in trauma, critical illness, end of life and bereavement.

The first session will involve going through the contract and carrying out a brief assessment in order to get an overview of wants, needs and expectations.
