A space that's all about you

Life can be busy. Work, relationships, family, responsibilities and the pressure to keep moving forward can leave little time to stop and think about you.

Counselling gives you that space.

It’s a place where you can talk openly and honestly, with time and space to explore whatever feels important to you. For 50 minutes, the focus is entirely on you - your thoughts, feelings, experiences and the things you might not usually have time to explore.

And counselling isn't just for when life feels unbearable.

You don't have to be in crisis or struggling terribly to benefit from having someone listen. Sometimes, it’s simply about being curious about yourself. Why do you respond to things in the way you do? What drives you? What holds you back? Why do certain patterns keep repeating? And perhaps most importantly, what do you actually want from your life?

A little time to stop and think

I work with a wide range of people, including professionals, entrepreneurs and people working in creative industries. You may be navigating a difficulty, feeling stuck or simply sense that something needs to change. Or perhaps you're curious about yourself and want to understand more about what makes you tick.

As an experienced and qualified therapist, I’m interested in what is happening for you now, as well as the experiences, relationships and patterns that may have shaped you.

Counselling is never one size fits all. I work in a pluralistic way, which means a flexible, collaborative approach tailored to each person’s individual needs. We’ll work together to find what feels most helpful and right for you.

Sometimes, talking things through with someone who is genuinely listening can bring things into focus. You may notice connections you hadn't seen before, understand yourself differently or feel clearer about what you want.

Counselling can help you understand yourself more deeply, discover new perspectives and find different ways of moving forward.

What it's like to work with me

I believe counselling should feel like a real conversation - a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself, while also having the opportunity to think a little more deeply.

My approach is warm, down to earth and thoughtful. I’ll listen carefully to what you say, but also to the things that might be harder to put into words.

We can talk about the difficult things, make unexpected discoveries and, when it feels right, find some humour along the way. You can bring whatever feels important to you, and we’ll take things from there.

You can bring whatever feels important to you.

Perhaps there's something specific you'd like to work through. Perhaps you feel that something isn't quite right but can't put your finger on what it is. Or perhaps life is going well, but you’re wondering “Is this really what I want?”

Counselling can be a chance to pause and take stock.

It can help you understand yourself, your relationships and your choices a little more clearly — and sometimes that understanding can open up new possibilities.

You don't need to know exactly where you're going.

We can discover that together.

How to Get in Touch & Your First Session

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, so I believe it’s important that you have the opportunity to get a sense of who I am and how I work before deciding whether counselling feels right for you.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory telephone call before arranging an initial session. This is a relaxed opportunity for us to briefly introduce ourselves, for you to tell me a little about what has brought you to counselling, and for you to ask any questions you may have. Most importantly, it gives you a chance to see whether you feel comfortable talking with me.

If you decide you would like to take things further, we can arrange an initial session, either face-to-face in St Albans or online via Zoom. This gives us more time to explore what you are looking for and whether we would be a good fit to work together.

There is no pressure or obligation to continue. Finding the right therapist is important, and the first step is simply having a conversation.

If you feel that counselling might be something you would like to explore, I would be very happy to hear from you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
