*Please not I can only be avaiable for clients aged 16 and above*

 I am an integrative counsellor who works relationally, adapting my approach to meet the individual needs of each client. I draw on humanistic, psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspectives, offering a calm and supportive space where you can explore experiences at your own pace. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and understood. My role is to walk alongside you as we make sense of what you are going through and how it impacts your life.

If therapy is suitable and there is good potential for progress, sessions are held once weekly and last 50 minutes. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, which is discussed with you and mutually agreed based on your needs, goals and readiness.  I also offer 12 week set sessions, or long term sessions.

Before beginning therapy, I offer an initial assessment, which is arranged via email. This meeting can take up to two hours and is a one-off fee of £110. 

The assessment allows us to explore your history and current concerns in detail, understand what you are seeking from therapy, and consider whether counselling is appropriate at this time. It also gives us both the opportunity to see if we would be a good fit to work together and whether a strong therapeutic relationship can be established.

Following the assessment, if counselling feels suitable and I believe there is real potential for progress, I will then contact you to discuss the next steps and book your first session.

I am available to work face-to-face on weekdays.

Weekdays online and evenings until 8 pm.

I can only be available for clients aged 14 and above.

I am an integrative counsellor; this means I work to meet the individual needs of each of my clients.

I draw on Humanistic, CBT and trauma-informed perspectives, offering a calm and supportive space where we can explore your experiences at your own pace.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe and heard and understood without judgement, at a pace that is comfortable for you. 

My role is to walk alongside you as we make sense of what you are going through and how this impacts your life.

I offer 50-minute weekly therapy sessions, which is discussed with you and mutually agreed upon based on your individual needs and goals.

I also offer 12-week set sessions which would be goal-focused, or long-term sessions applying a more Humanistic approach.

Coming to therapy is a meaningful and often vulnerable step. I aim to make the process feel as safe, steady and supportive as possible. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing, how it affects you, and what you hope to change. Together, we explore your story, your patterns, and the parts of you that may have felt unheard or overlooked.

I take my time to listen and understand, and we will work at a pace that is right for you.

Before starting therapy, I offer a brief telephone conversation of up to 15 minutes. This is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, for you to share a little about what brought you to counselling, and for you to get a sense of who I am and how I work. It is also a chance for you to ask any questions you may have and to explore whether you feel comfortable taking the next step with me. It also allows us both to consider whether working together feels like the right fit for you.

Following our initial telephone conversation, I offer a two-hour assessment session. This is an important part of the therapeutic process and is separate from a counselling session. It gives us the time and space to explore your background, life experiences, your current circumstances, and the difficulties you may be facing, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

The assessment helps me to develop a fuller understanding of you; it allows you to talk about what feels important to you, ask further questions, and gain a clearer understanding of how I work and what counselling with me might look like. It is also an opportunity for both of us to consider whether we feel comfortable working together and whether my approach is suited to your needs.
