About me and my therapy practice
When life feels stormy, clarity and understanding are the first steps towards change. Counselling can help you to make sense of things, and support a way forward.
Whatever is going on for you, know that you don't have to go through it alone. Having a counsellor alongside you can be a deeply empowering experience, offering you a place to say and feel everything you need to, without unwelcome pressure and judgment.
You will receive patience, softness, and gentle challenge - all essential for change.
Common themes I work with are: grief and loss, relationships and attachment, loneliness and self-esteem, life stages, abuse and trauma, anxiety and depression.
I am trauma-informed, neuroaffirming, and LGBTQ+ friendly. If you are autistic or have ADHD, I will do all that I can to make you comfortable and accommodate your needs.
Practice description
The counselling sessions I offer last 50 minutes, but can be shorter or longer according to need. Sessions typically happen weekly or fortnightly, you choose.
Providing a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic counselling, I offer online, phone and outdoor sessions, with a free introductory call as standard.
Pricing: £50 per 50-minute session, £40 concessionary rate.
My qualifications and CPD:
Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (Integrative)
- BA (Hons) Social Science
- Certificate in Trauma-Informed Practice
- Certificate in Working Therapeutically with Autistic Clients
- Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling
- Certificate in Counselling Studies
- Certificate in Counselling Skills
- Certificate in Safeguarding, Prevent and British Values
- Suicide Awareness and Safety Planning
- An Introduction to Breathwork
I have been counselling people since 2021 and running my private practice since 2023. Alongside counselling, I have a working knowledge of health and adult social care, having spent 15 years in a variety of public sector roles. I have provided counselling in a prison, and started my working life in an investment management team. I feel like I've done a lot, but have finally found my home.
My first session
Our first session is an Introductory Call on phone or Zoom, and is free of charge.
This call enables us to get to know each other a little. You will describe your reasons for coming to counselling and what you're seeking. I will explain my ways of working and the ethical requirements I adhere to. Together we will discuss how sessions might be organised to best suit you.
The introductory call is important, and a good way of us checking if I am the right counsellor for you at this time.
During this call, we may also agree on a preferred time and day for your first full counselling session.
I look forward to meeting you.
