About me and my therapy practice

You may be feeling overwhelmed, lost, stuck or confused and wondering where to turn to for support. I provide a non-judgemental, safe, confidential space where you can take time to explore your thoughts, concerns and difficulties. I will work at your pace to help you make sense of your situation and identify changes that will help you find a way forward.

How I work

I am a psychodynamic counsellor. This means I will listen carefully to your current concerns and, where helpful, reflect with you on previous relationships and experiences that can influence how you think, feel and experience life in the present. This can help you gain a fresh perspective of your situation, a clearer sense of yourself and understand what may help on your journey.

About me

I am a fully qualified and experienced psychodynamic therapist. I have a postgraduate diploma in psychodynamic counselling, and I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have worked for over 6 years with adult clients in BACP accredited counselling services. I have been a volunteer counsellor for a hospice charity. I am currently employed as an associate counsellor for a Southampton charity and have my own private practice. Prior to training as a counsellor, I supported adults and older adults with a range of physical and mental health issues including individuals managing life limiting illnesses and individuals in a caring role, and supported people who had been bereaved.

Practice description

I am experienced in working with individuals struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulties in relationships, work issues, health issues and bereavement.

My therapy practice is accessed from Lymington High Street. It is on the first floor accessed via a flight of stairs. There is parking close by.

Lymington is located on the edge of New Forest National Park, in the county of Hampshire and close to Dorset. It is within easy travelling distance of Lyndhurst, Brockenhurst, Hythe, Milford-on-Sea, Barton-on-Sea, Christchurch, Bournemouth and other areas of the New Forest.

My standard fee is £50 per session.

I offer a small number of reduced-fee spaces.

I have a Privacy and Data Protection Statement which explains how your personal data is managed during the course of therapy and your rights over your personal data. I will go through this with you when you start therapy. If you contact me and decide not to proceed with therapy I will delete your personal details.

My first session

If you feel this kind of support would be helpful, please contact me by email or telephone. I will respond to you to arrange an initial session where we can talk about what has brought you to therapy, and something of your present situation and personal history. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. If we both agree we can work together I will offer a 50 minute session at the same time each week.
