What's Next Counselling is a flexible online therapy service, meaning I can offer appointments by way of telephone or video call regardless of your location in the UK. One of the biggest benefits to online therapy is that you can have the support you need from an environment you are comfortable in at a time that suits you.

I have over 1,100 hours experience in providing therapy to clients aged 11 and above. I provide short term (6-12 sessions) and long term therapy to clients, depending on their needs and circumstances. 

I was trained in Person Centred Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. But what does this mean for you as a client?

It means that as a therapist, I am focussed on you and your experience of yourself and acknowledge and embrace that you are the expert in your own life.

It also means that I can help you look at those negative thoughts you might be having and help you to see if there is another way of viewing the situations that might be contributing to your struggles.

What's Next Counselling can provide support for a number of issues such as anxiety, overthinking, stress, self-harming behaviours, suicidal thoughts as well as self-esteem and sexuality.

Sessions are 60 minutes in length and cost £45. Working exclusively online, this means that I can be flexible around scheduling to meet the demands of your life. Sessions are held by way of telephone calls or through video call.

My practice prides itself on putting you first as the client. I will work with you to ensure that you are happy with the therapeutic service that is being provided, always offering you the opportunity to offer feedback and ask any questions.

When you enquire about starting therapy, the first step will be a free 30 minute consultation, conducted by either telephone or video call. This will give us both an opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together and for you to ask any questions you might have about me or the therapeutic process.​

If you decide to commence therapy, I will then email you a client information form to complete and my counselling contract. It is important for you to read the counselling contract before electronically signing it, to ensure you are comfortable with its content and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions about it.

Once the client information form and counselling contract have been returned, we will agree the day and time for your therapy session.

​I ask for payment prior to the session. Once payment has been received, I will email the video link to you or if you are accessing therapy by way of telephone call, I will contact you at the agreed time.
