If you are keeping things bottled up and if you feel like everything is getting to you at the moment, counselling can help you.You may be wondering if you are ready to start therapy and how a counsellor may be able to help you. 

I can help you make sense of these things by creating a safe space for you to understand what’s troubling you and how your past may be affecting your present life. Often, symptoms appear like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and low self-confidence but the root is often deep somewhere else. 

I am a psychodynamic counsellor which means that I place an emphasis on “why”. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers the opportunity to explore our innermost thoughts and those parts of ourselves that we may have needed to keep hidden but they still influence our daily patterns and decisions. 

Walking into a room and asking for help from a stranger is brave and courageous. It’s a sign that you've recognised that you need help, that you are vulnerable and you are willing to share it with someone else. 

If I sound like someone you could talk to, please do get in touch and we can arrange to speak. 

I am fully qualified as a Psychodynamic Counsellor by The Counselling  Foundation and I am also qualified as a Skills Practitioner for Eating Disorders by the National Centre for Eating Disorders. 

What happens in the initial consultation?

The initial consultation is an opportunity for you to talk freely about what brought you to me, along with any questions you might have about the therapy process.

This initial consultation is also an opportunity for you to experience what I’m like and how I work. Over the course of the consultation, I will explain more about my way of working, as well as practicalities on confidentiality, fees, cancellations and appointment times.

If we agree to work together, we'll then work out the practical details for your sessions. It helps to work out a time-frame together from the outset, but nothing is set in stone, and we can always review as we go along.

My experience lies in psychodynamic counselling and this informs my work in supervision too. I am an experienced and qualified therapist, and I can supervise therapists who work in a psychodynamic way.

As a supervisor I aim to offer you a containing and safe space where we can discuss your clinical work as well as your business and practice overall. It is aimed to be a thoughtful and creative space where you as a practitioner are held in mind. I place great emphasis on building trust and getting to know you through your development stages.

I offer weekly/fortnightly supervision to all counsellors whether you are currently established or in training. I can offer individual and group supervision depending on mutual availability, location and client load.

BACP guidelines recommend 1 hour of supervision for every 10 hours of client work (more for trainees) but a minimum of 1.5 hours (2x 50 minutes) per month, regardless of client load. Our contract can be established to support your needs and commitments.

£80 for 50-minute session.
