Online & Telephone Counselling Across the UK

My Sessions

Do you need someone who will listen to your thoughts feelings and beliefs without opinion advice or judgment? 

Maybe you already tried talking to family or friends but still feel unheard, misunderstood or unsure how to explain what you're experiencing. 

You may already know what you would like to talk about, or perhaps you're still trying to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. 

Counselling is an opportunity to pause breathe relax and focus on you at a time to suit your needs and availability. Whatever brings you to counselling, you don't need to have everything worked out before we begin.

You don't have to be experiencing a crisis or know exactly why you want counselling. Just knowing that you need someone to talk to is reason enough.

My Experience

Alongside my private practice, I have worked with mental health charities in community settings and with a national online counselling platform.

I have supported adults from different backgrounds and with a variety of experiences, including relationships, communication, grief and loss, self-esteem, childhood experiences and emotional wellbeing.

I also have experience supporting university students, including those with ADHD and AuDHD, with the academic, practical and emotional challenges of student life.

If you're unsure whether I can support you, you're welcome to ask.

About My Practice

My own experience of counselling helped me recognise the benefits of being listened to without judgement or expectations. It inspired me to become a counsellor and offer others the opportunity to feel heard and understood.

Why Online and Telephone Counselling?

I offer online and telephone counselling because face-to-face appointments aren't always practical or comfortable. Sessions can take place in a familiar, private space without travelling, offering flexibility around work, family, university or mobility needs.

Individual counselling sessions are £45 for 50 minutes, available online or by telephone. Extended sessions of 90 minutes or two hours are also available, with fees varying according to the length of the session.

Professional Registration and Confidentiality

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), having successfully completed its Certificate of Proficiency assessment. I follow the BACP Ethical Framework, including professional supervision, ongoing development and respect for confidentiality.

What you share is treated confidentially, within legal and ethical limits which we will discuss together.

Attending Your Sessions

Online sessions use Microsoft Teams or another suitable counselling platform. Please choose a quiet, private space without interruptions. Sessions cannot take place while travelling or where privacy cannot be maintained.

My approach is person-centred. You choose what to explore, how much to share and when you feel ready. There is no pressure to think, feel or speak in any particular way.

You're welcome to ask any questions about how sessions work.

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, particularly if you've never attended counselling before or are unsure what to expect.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know each other, talk about how counselling works and explore any questions you may have about me, my practice or the counselling process.

We will also take some time to discuss confidentiality, what this means for our counselling sessions, and how your privacy and personal information are respected and protected.There is no expectation for you to begin sharing personal or difficult experiences straight away. You may already know what you would like to talk about, or you may be unsure where to begin. Both are absolutely fine.

You can ask questions, talk about something that's been on your mind, share an experience or even talk about the weather if that helps you begin to feel more comfortable.

You decide what you would like to share, how much you disclose and when you feel ready to do so.

Whatever you choose to bring to our sessions, my role is to listen with empathy, understanding and without judgement, acknowledging your thoughts, feelings and experiences so that you have the opportunity to feel seen, heard and understood.

You don't need to know what's wrong, why you're feeling a particular way or even what you would like to gain from counselling before attending.

Sometimes, we spend so much of our time listening to, caring for or supporting other people that we rarely have the opportunity to focus on ourselves.

Counselling can offer you that opportunity. A time and space where the conversation can be about you, your experiences, your thoughts and your feelings, without the expectation that you need to support or prioritise someone else.

There is no right or wrong way to begin counselling. We can take our time, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
