About me and my therapy practice

Whatever’s brought you here, welcome. Maybe I can help you take meaningful steps to meet, get to know and heal protective habits that keep you feeling stuck in important areas of your life.

Wherever you are on the scale from 'OK but want to thrive' to 'Feeling anxious and fed up' to 'Just not coping here', hopefully we can gently untangle what you’re struggling with to support positive change in you and your relationships.

These principles guide my approach to therapy:

Listening: Growing a kind, aware space where all parts of you are welcome.
Understanding: Exploring how your history has shaped both helpful and unhelpful habits.
Creating: Using resourcing, creative approaches to find new perspectives.
Balancing: Learning to better soothe and regulate your nervous system.

As well as offering talk therapy, you may benefit from creative counselling. I also offer two holistic stress management practices: My own approach to energy psychology called Gestalt Acu-balancing, and Autogenic Training, a mindfulness-based method used since the 1930s.

Would you like to find out more? If so, let’s have a no-obligation 20-minute video or phone call to help see if we could do some good work together.

Practice description

Feel free to check out my website. It says more about what I do and how we could work together, and it also has self-help resources (for managing stress, anxiety and more) that many people have benefited from over the years. Find out more at goodwillguidance.com > About > Self-help.

I also run workshops to help counsellors and psychotherapists develop their use of creative approaches in therapy.

My first session

Your first session costs £40 and involves exploring and clarifying what brought you here and starting to identify what you want to change in your life. I may ask you to complete a self-assessment questionnaire if you're experiencing high levels of distress.

My usual fee for sessions two and after is £50 but I also offer a sliding scale based on people's ability to pay.
