I currently have spaces on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Sessions are usually weekly or fortnightly.

I prefer working face to face but can offer on-line sessions if required. Walk & talk therapy and some home visits are possible. Concessionary rates available.

I work with individuals and couples as well as young people 16 years and over.

Cost: £60 per hour, couples £90 for an hour and a half.

People decide to have therapy for many reasons including life-stage events, significant changes, challenges that keep recurring or issues that resurface from long ago. You may have a clear idea of what you need to work through or it might be a more general sense that things are not ok. There are no right or wrong subjects to bring to counselling, together we will establish what needs to be explored.

I am registered with BACP and adhere to their code of ethics which promotes professional, non-judgmental and inclusive practice. I have been a qualified counsellor for 26 years and have worked in related professional roles since then. My additional training includes, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, PACE parenting (level 1) Theraplay (level 1) Most recent continuing professional development covered supporting couples through infertility, loss and reproductive trauma.

My designated therapy room is a cosy and confidential ground floor space with parking.

My counselling is informed by a person centered approach which is client led. I work in an integrated way including other theories and ‘tools’ so we can work together in a way that suits you best. The initial focus will be on building a connection and developing a safe counselling relationship so we can work on the issues that you want to focus on. I believe that it is this therapeutic relationship which enables growth and or healing to take place in the areas that are important to you.

Choosing a counsellor can be daunting. I offer a free, no obligation 30 minute WhatsApp video call or telephone session to explore whether working together would be right for you.

If it’s decided that you wish to progress we’ll talk about what might work well for you in our first session and agree a way forward. This will be reviewed and amended, when needed, as we travel along our counselling journey.
