About me and my therapy practice

Thanks for being here. I'm really glad you are. I know that starting therapy for the first time, or taking the next step along the path, takes courage. What ever your reasons for seeking therapy, I’m here to support you in a compassionate, affirming and safe way.

I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor and I work in a collaborative, non-judgemental, affirming and trauma informed way. This means taking a holistic approach where we explore your unique experience, needs and goals, using a variety of tools and approaches that work with the mind, body and nervous system.

It’s incredibly important to me that the space I offer is neurodiversity affirming, as well as LGBTQIA+ affirming, disability affirming, anti-racist and fat-positive. I’m always happy to share more about what this means in practice if you have an aspect (or intersectional aspects) of your identity that are impacted by oppression.

Whether you want to focus on a specific issue or problem, or simply to understand yourself and your experience better, therapy can offer a space for you to slow down and reconnect with yourself, while being seen, heard and supported. It can also offer the opportunity to build up tools and resources that you can use outside of the therapy room, helping you to be more resilient as you respond to the inevitable challenges of being a human.

Practice description

The theories I work with include psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, gestalt therapy, mindfulness based stress reduction and somatic movement based trauma therapy. I'm also passionate about the role of neuroscience in helping us to understand and manage our experiences. Don't worry too much about whether any of these approaches are right for you though. They're just a collection of tools that can support our work together as we explore the struggles or experiences that have brought you to therapy.

Outside of my work as a counsellor and therapist, I’m a meditation teacher, a sound practitioner, a yoga teacher and a wellbeing in nature facilitator. While I don't always bring these elements into the counselling room, it's safe to say I believe that a holistic approach that works with the mind, body and nervous system can be hugely beneficial.

My approach is trauma informed and rooted in safely connecting with yourself and your experience, in a way that works for you. That might mean focussing on what's happening for you in the here and now, or exploring the past and how it affects the present. What ever you're wanting to explore, I'm here to support you.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling, with the flexibility to meet weekly or fortnightly.

As with all of my offerings, counselling is available on a sliding scale to support accessibility. ‘Supporter’ pricing supports the financial provision of ‘supported’ pricing places.Thank you in advance to anyone who is financially able to pay it forward!

To make counselling more affordable and/or manageable I also offer fortnightly sessions. 

Supporter pricing: £65 per hour - for those who are able to pay it forward and support places for people on lower incomes

Standard pricing: £55 per hour

Supported pricing: £45 per hour - for those who are unwaged, on minimum or a living wage or financially impacted because of other issues

My first session

I offer a complimentary, 15 minute session so we can have a chat and get to know each other. It's important to me that you have an opportunity to share your reasons for coming to therapy and find out whether I'm a good fit for you.

I'll be happy to share a bit more about my approach, along with the ways that I might be able to support you in your specific struggles. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions. 

If we go on to work together, our first full session will be an opportunity to explore your reasons for coming to therapy and any relevant past experiences that you wish to share.

About me and my therapy practice

Holistic, integrative therapeutic counselling via Zoom 

I never underestimate the bravery it can take to start the journey of counselling. What ever your reasons for taking the first step, I'm here to support you. 

I'm an integrative therapeutic counsellor and I'll work to support you in a compassionate, affirming and safe way. That means we'll work collaboratively to explore your experiences using a variety of tools and approaches that work holistically with the mind, body and nervous system.

Struggles you might want to explore might include (but aren't limited to) Autism, stress, grief, life transitions, ADHD, aspects of identity, relationships, relationship patterns and relationship dynamics,  depression, trauma pain, anxiety, menopause, or chronic illness and other health issues. 

Whether you want to focus on a specific struggle, or simply understand yourself and your experience better, therapy can offer a space for you to reconnect with yourself, while being seen, heard and supported in a compassionate and non-judgemental way.  The way I work as a counsellor can also offer the opportunity to find new tools and resources that you can use outside of the therapy room. I am here to support you to become more resilient as you respond to the inevitable challenges of being a human.

It’s important to me that the space I offer is neurodiversity affirming, as well as LGBTQIA+ affirming, disability affirming, anti-racist and fat-positive. I’m always happy to share more about what this means in practice if you have an aspect (or intersectional aspects) of your identity that are impacted by systemic oppression. 

Practice description

The theories I work with include gestalt therapy, humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic movement based trauma therapy and mindfulness and meditation. I believe in working with the mind, body and the nervous system to take a holistic approach to exploring our experiences. With that in mind, I work with neuroscience based understandings of the nervous system and its role in mental health and wellbeing. Those are details you don't need to worry about too much though. They're simply tools that we can explore together.

Outside of my work as a therapist I'm a sound practitioner, a meditation teacher and I do a lot of work focussing on wellbeing in nature. 

I offer short-term and long-term counselling, with the flexibility to meet weekly or fortnightly and, as with all of my offerings, counselling is available on a sliding scale to support accessibility. 

Supporter pricing: £65 per hour - for those who are able to pay it forward and support places for people on lower incomes

I'll ask you to share a little about why you're coming to therapy and, in particular, why now. I'll then tell you a little bit about my, my approach and how we might work together.

If we go on to work together, our first full session will be an opportunity to explore your reasons for coming to therapy and any relevant past experiences that you wish to share.
