Taking the first step towards counselling can sometimes feel daunting. You may be experiencing difficulties that feel overwhelming, struggling to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, or finding that certain experiences continue to affect your day-to-day life and relationships. Whatever has brought you to consider counselling, I aim to offer a warm, welcoming and supportive space where you can feel comfortable talking openly, without fear of judgement.

I am a BACP-registered, trauma-informed integrative counsellor, with an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (Distinction) and a BSc in Psychology (Counselling). I have experience working with both young people aged 16+ and adults, supporting individuals with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, stress, anger, relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and significant life changes.

My approach is centred around building a trusting therapeutic relationship, where you feel heard, understood and valued. I work collaboratively, taking the time to understand your individual experiences and what feels important to you. I draw on different therapeutic approaches to help support your individual needs, while always working at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I believe that having the opportunity to explore your experiences in a safe and supportive environment can help you develop a greater understanding of yourself, recognise patterns in your life and find ways of moving forward.

I offer a welcoming and supportive counselling service for adults and young people aged 16 and over.

I offer face-to-face counselling in Stafford, alongside online sessions via video or telephone, providing flexibility in how you access support. Whether you are seeking help with a specific difficulty or would simply like an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings, counselling offers dedicated time and space to focus on yourself.

I understand that finding the right counsellor is important. For this reason, I offer a free 15-minute introductory telephone consultation, giving us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you to counselling, answer any initial questions and consider whether working together feels right for you.

Our first session provides an opportunity to explore your current circumstances, what you would like support with and what you hope to gain from counselling. From there, we can work together to establish a way forward that reflects your individual needs and goals.

Sessions are £60, with a reduced rate of £30 available for students.

Attending a first therapy session can feel daunting, especially if you have never accessed counselling before.

The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another and to explore what has brought you to therapy. We may discuss your current difficulties, relevant background information, and what you hope to gain from counselling. This session also gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about therapy or the way I work.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is important, so there is no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. We will work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you.

Before beginning therapy, I will provide you with a counselling agreement; within the first session I will go through a brief assessment with you to help me understand your needs and ensure I can support you appropriately.
