Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays daytimes in person and on-line; limited evening appointments available, online only.

I am a fully qualified and experienced BACP-registered psychotherapist providing one-to-one counselling to adults in a relaxed and confidential setting. My practice is open to anyone who would like support whether you are going though a particularly difficult time or are seeking a deeper understanding of yourself.

Warm, attentive and empathetic, I aim to create a space where you feel heard and understood and where you can speak openly about whatever is on your mind at your own pace. Over time, this can help develop a greater sense of self awareness, emotional resilience and capacity for meaningful connection.

My approach is psychodynamic at heart, which means that as well as thinking about what is going on for you right now, where appropriate, we can think about your past experiences and relationships and how these may be shaping your present thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Often people find themselves repeating certain dynamics - feeling stuck in relationships, overwhelmed by emotion, or unsure why they react in particular ways. Together, we can begin to make sense of these patterns, including those that may sit outside of immediate awareness.

The therapeutic relationship between us is an important part of this process. How you experience me and how we relate can offer valuable insight into wider relational patterns. I approach this with care, sensitivity and empathy so that even difficult or confusing feelings can be explored safely. 

I offer both open-ended therapy and time limited work, depending on what feels most appropriate to you. Sessions are usually weekly at the same time each week and last for 50 minutes.

I offer an initial free 15 minute telephone or video consultation where we can discuss what brings you to therapy and you can get a sense of how I work. We will also discuss practicalities such as timings and cost. Please email me to arrange this. 

Assuming you are happy to proceed, we can then arrange an initial session. This session will be a chance for us to get to know each other a little more, explore what you hope to achieve, answer any questions you might have, and for you to get a sense of whether us working together feels right for you.
