Availability
I currently have availability for new clients. My working days are Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
I have some time off in September 2026 for one month.
About me and my therapy practice
I work in a person centred way. This means that our sessions together are used to discuss whatever you feel is relevant to talk through that day. I am an integrative counsellor which means I have other skills I can draw upon if I need to during sessions.
Practice description
I offer a safe space that is warm and cosy.
I will sit with you in your sadness, celebrate with you in your joy, and sit with you while you work through complex or difficult emotions.
I am happy to be direct or challenge you if that is what you need during our sessions together.
My first session
Before our first session together, there are two forms to fill in online covering medical information and emergency contact details.
During our first session together, we will discuss how we will work together, what you would like from our sessions and what you may want to work on, and discuss your preferred boundaries as well as my own boundaries around our work together. We will form a contract and include some of your personal history as well as your counselling history (if any).
