 Hi, I welcome you in taking your first step in your therapeutic journey; it can take a lot of courage to reach out so I am glad you are here. May this be the beginning of growth and healing for you.

What I offer:

I provide a confidential, safe, non-judgemental space where you will be free to explore at your own time and pace. Where you will have the freedom to work through your problems without any pressure. I work in a person-centred way, which means I meet you where you are at; I will not tell you what to do but I will stay alongside you whilst you navigate and find your own solutions as I believe you are the an expert of your own life. I will be led by you every step of the way and the therapeutic space will be held for you to exercise your autonomy. 

How it can help:

Life is full of challenges and hard times, sometimes it can all feel too much. Many people do not reach out for help in difficult times as they may feel their problem isn't "big enough"  to seek help - perhaps you have felt this way too but I assure you if it is affecting you, it is worth bringing to therapy. Sometimes it may feel like no one really understands what you are going through and you may feel unheard of unseen - I am here to listen to it all and will do so with care, empathy and acceptance, always keeping you at the centre of our work.

Therapy is often a journey of self-discovery and renewal, of resilience building and empowerment and it is always a remarkable privilege to journey with clients as they weave their way through their struggles and emerge in ways they did not believe possible. 

I work in neuro-affirming way and invite you to express any needs or reasonable adjustments you require.

I have a DipHE in Child and Young Persons Counselling and a Certificate in online an telephone counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP and am registered with the ICO. I  hold a DBS and complete regular safeguarding and GDPR training.

I work as a counsellor for a charity in Essex and also spent 3 years building and delivering a counselling service to staff and pupils in a primary school . 

I spent two years working as a group facilitator on a counselling course and am currently a lecturer for the same course.

Prior to counselling I trained in childcare and have a career spanning over 30 years working with children and young people in various settings including the NHS and education. This work has enabled me to develop a deep understanding of the many issues facing young people and children today. 

I am happy to work weekly or fortnightly and if there is availability I can offer single session therapy.

Sessions are 50 minutes long.

I offer concessions for trainee students and for limited income families.

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation- this will allow you to see if we are the right fit and ask any questions you may have about the process. I will also respond to any enquires via email if preferred.
