Individual Sessions
I offer a free 15-minute initial chat which is useful if you would like to have a brief chat about your reasons for investigating counselling before making any financial commitment. This is an opportunity to see if we would work well together.

I know only too well that the financial outlay during counselling training can be expensive. Therefore, I can offer a limited number of counselling students a reduced session fee for the mandatory required hours only.

About me and my therapy practice
I work with an array of mental health issues, such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, work-related issues, bullying, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, and self-confidence.
Because I have faced similar challenges to my clients in my own life, I can offer more than just professional support — I can offer real empathy that comes from shared experiences. The personal struggles I have overcome give me a deeper connection with my clients, allowing me to offer insights that are genuine and grounded in understanding, bringing decades of experience to my practice.
I have spent many years as a volunteer bereavement counsellor, drawn to the subject of grief because I know how difficult it can be for people to talk about. Having gone through my own experiences of loss, I understand just how important it is to have someone who listens and helps you navigate the unpredictable nature of grief.
Reaching out for support takes courage. I am here to help make that first step a little easier for you.
Let’s connect and talk about how we can work together to help you move forward. All you need to do is send me a text, email, give me a call, or send me a message through my website, https://centredmindscounselling.co.uk/ —whatever feels most comfortable for you.
Practice description
I am trained in a person-centred modality. Put simply, this means I work in a personalised, open, and collaborative way with you, focusing on understanding your inner world. I pay close attention to what is important to you and help you explore—and possibly shift—your relationship with some of the invisible barriers that might be holding you back.
I work with adults aged 18+ in the UK who have a range of reasons for seeking counselling. If your particular reason for seeking counselling is not mentioned, please do get in touch to see whether I can support you.
I work remotely – online and via telephone, so counselling can be performed from the comfort and convenience of your home. The privacy of your own home is especially beneficial when emotional highs and lows are experienced.
My first session
Before we start counselling, there will be some admin to complete. I will send you a working agreement that outlines our responsibilities to each other, as well as an intake form where you can share your contact details and tell me more about the difficulties that have brought you to counselling. If you have questions at any stage, please do not hesitate to ask—I am here to help.
If you decide to go ahead with counselling, I will ask you to sign and return the working agreement, and payment will be due 24 hours before we have our first session.
At our first session, I will find out what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to achieve in more detail. Together, we will explore the key details to help shape a personalised path forward.
For many of my clients, this is the first time they have been able to openly talk about their struggles, which can be a deeply emotional experience. In the coming days, you may experience emotional highs and lows, this is normal and where continuing with counselling is important to achieve your desired changes further down the line.
