Currently available for day times, evenings and weekends.

Flexible arrangements available for weekly, fortnightly, monthly or ad hoc sessions.

Open-hearted, open-minded and tailored to you. 

The therapeutic approach will be tailored to your needs, wishes and circumstances. Whether you are just starting out, returning to therapy, unsure whether therapy is for you, or experiencing barriers to accessing support, please get in touch.

I believe therapy should be available and accessible to all and I find that maintaining a dynamic and flexible approach to scheduling can reduce barriers to access. Sessions are online, and can take place during day times, evenings or weekends. We can meet weekly, fortnightly, monthly or on an ad hoc basis. You can set a regular time to meet or we can arrange the time and date of each session as we go. Sessions can also vary in length from 45minutes up to 2 hours per session, at a standard rate of £1 per minute. Concessionary rates are available for students and recipients of state benefits.

My approach is based on the core therapeutic qualities of compassion, empathy, curiosity and acceptance. You may be impacted by life events, coming to terms with loss, navigating big changes, or struggling with stress-related challenges. You may be yearning for a space to speak freely, to reflect, to slow down, to explore, to offload, to find healing. Whatever you are going through, you do not need to do so alone. I will work with you, guided by your specific experiences and circumstances, to create an environment where any and all of your feelings are welcome.

I am a qualified Integrative and Humanistic Therapeutic Counsellor. What this means in practice is:

Integrative - exploring a broad range of approaches, methods, tools, ways of working together in response to each person's individuality. I will remain open-minded throughout therapy as to what works for you and what may not, welcoming your input at all times. I may invite you to try certain approaches while always respecting your ownership of the pace and direction of the work.

Humanistic - I adopt a positive and supportive attitude to other people and believe in the innate power each person has within themselves to affect change, find healing, and grow in self-awareness. I will show you compassion in an environment where any and all your feelings and experiences are welcomed and accepted, met with judgement-free curiosity. Through this, I hope to empower you to notice and express your emotions, understand yourself more deeply and build your own capacity for self-compassion and personal development.

I believe the therapeutic approach should be open and transparent, not masked by jargon, mystique or unacknowledged power dynamics. We will regularly reflect on how the space between us informs the therapy you are experiencing and I welcome your curiosity and feedback about any aspect of our work together. 

Therapy may include a combination of talking therapies, creative ways in, body work, or other approaches. I am committed to learning and will undertake further training and professional development in response to what people bring to the therapy space.

Our first session will be a free 30 minute introduction. We will discuss your wishes for therapy and what arrangements for future sessions best suits you. I'll ask for an overview of your circumstances and what has brought you to look for counselling.

This session will be online via video call and can take place at a time which suits you. 

Beginning counselling can be a daunting step. If you have any questions about what counselling with me might involve, please get in touch.
