About me and my therapy practice
I understand how hard taking the first steps to get help can be. Not knowing quite how talking about things might help or even if you are ready to let someone share your inner world.
Finding the right fit for you shouldn’t also be part of the struggle.
Most people come to therapy to stop hiding. But for Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, the therapeutic room itself can sometimes feel like another place where you have to mask, explain your slang, or justify your sensory needs.
Sometimes we feel broken, or out of place or life takes an unexpected turn and it feels hard to deal with on your own. You may be processing a ADHD or Autism discovery, exploring your gender or sexuality, or simply trying to manage the burnout that comes from living in a world that doesn’t seem built for you. I provide a space where you don't have to translate yourself.
Whatever is not working for you right now, whatever is difficult to bear, perhaps you know that it is time that you get support. As a humanistic counsellor, I will work with you and be guided by what you want to explore with support and encouragement. Looking at your experiences in new ways can allow you to let go of difficult feelings.
Whether using creative ways of exploring your life or just sitting and talking, a session will be unique to you.
Therapy can be challenging and hard work but can be healing and rewarding too and can allow you to move forward in life; increasing your self-awareness, giving you a greater sense of self, and helping you find more positive ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.
I have an affinity with the experience of feeling different, particularly when this feeling becomes overwhelming and affects our daily lives. I have lived experience of neurodivergence and supporting those in the transgender community.
Practice description
I offer open-ended therapeutic counselling, which means it is up to you how many sessions you would like to have; some people are happy with six sessions, some with six months, and others with years. You probably will not know at the outset how many sessions you want and so this is always open to discussion.
My first session
You can get in touch with me via email to arrange an introductory session, which can take place online.
To gain a true impression of how our relationship might work, I offer this first session at £50, a discount on my regular fee of £75. However, this initial session will be the same length as the ongoing sessions which will be 50 minutes.
This will give you an opportunity to find out more about how we might work together and ask any questions you might have.
If you decide that you would like to work with me, at our next session we will discuss and sign a contract that will outline the terms of our work together.
What I can help with
Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Adoption, AIDS/HIV, Anger management, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Body/somatic therapy, Cancer, Child related issues, Coach Therapist, Depression, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, Infertility, LGBTQ+ counselling, Loss, Menopause, Men's issues, Neurodiversity, Obsessions, OCD, Phobias, Pregnancy related issues, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Sex-related issues, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Stress, Trauma, Vegan allied, Women's issues, Work related issues
