Normal availability is on Mondays (all day) and Friday afternoons (some slots are face to face, some are online). 

I currently have one face to face slot available at 5pm on Friday (updated on 29/04/24).  

Welcome to my page and I hope you will find it helpful. You are most likely here because you, or someone you are close to, may be going through a difficult time.  I believe that in recognising you are struggling, and finding the strength to ask for help you are on the first step towards changing your current situation.  I will offer you a non-judgemental, safe and confidential space to discuss your thoughts and feelings about anything you may be currently facing, or simply wish to explore. My therapeutic approach is Person-Centred, and in addition I have a good understanding of other approaches, which allows me to be more eclectic within my practice.  I believe that in talking about your issues in an accepting environment where you can be fully heard and understood, clarity can be gained and I can assist you in working towards a resolution that is best for you. Session fees: £45 p/hr (I work to a full hour). 

I am experienced in working with adults who are facing common issues such as depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal ideation, bereavement, issues relating to the self, amongst many others.  I also have experience in working with drug and alcohol addiction, having previously worked in a residential rehabilitation service for those suffering with serious drug and alcohol addiction.  I have some experience in working with eating disorders (e.g. Anorexia, Bulimia, and BED) and have worked for a local eating disorders charity.  I have a special interest in diet and nutrition, and how this benefits our wellbeing overall.  

Please note I work with adults and the elderly only (over 18yrs).  

I am able to offer a mix of face to face or Zoom sessions on a Monday (all day) and Friday afternoons.  I offer short term; long term; or time-limited therapy.  

Please note I work with adults and the elderly only in my practice.

If you wish to enquire further about my practice in general, I can offer you more information at no cost via email or phone to help you decide if you wish to book a session.  I do, however, charge for the first session where we both see if it feels like a good fit for us to work together (1 hour in duration).  Please get in touch for further information.
