I work 10.30 - 7.30 pm

I work with a range of issues but my specialities are relationship issues, anger management and trauma.

A brief overview of how I work with each

I offer a non-judgmental, warm and safe space with the aim of making you feel seen, heard, valued and welcome. In this space we can explore what is making life difficult for you in the present moment using Gestalt Psychotherapy and Person Centred Counselling, both powerful tools for whatever is off in your current circumstances: anxiety, depression, upset, trauma etc… We can also explore how at times this may link back to earlier experiences using Psychodynamic psychotherapy which is a powerful tool for working out how past relationships could be affecting current issues. I am trained to level 7 which enables me to go deeper and adapt my therapy to your specific needs.  

Using Gestalt we can work out practical ways to address whatever you’re struggling with as the focus is on experience, how you actually experience life physically as well as emotionally and mentally.

The initial focus in our sessions will be building a relationship between us as research is robust that a strong relationship built on trust, empathy and validation is key to positive outcomes in therapy. Many people benefit from that relationship alone. I am warm, empathetic and compassionate by nature and use these qualities to create a collaborative relationship with you. We then explore what is making life difficult for you. I can also offer resources and practical methods to address these issues such as role playing and mindfulness techniques. I am always thinking about and asking myself 'is this in the best interest of my client?'

The goal is better connection and choice in how you live with yourself, family, friends and other people in your life.

I work face to face in central Cheltenham.

I also work online / remote using a GDPR secure platform called  Writeupp which is also extremely user friendly.

I am currently offering the first 6 sessions for £240

The first session is currently free.

10.30 - 7.30 pm

I am a level 7 qualified Counsellor. I combine Person Centred counselling with Gestalt and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and tailor my therapy to your specific, individual needs. 

I build upon the core conditions of Person centred: empathy, authenticity and validation to develop a collaborative working partnership. I can then offer somatic resources and practical suggestions through my Gestalt skills in order to build emotional regulation and resilience and ease depression and anxiety. I also use psychological exploration with my Psychodynamic skills to raise awareness of how past events and relations could be contributing to what is making life difficult for you and to develop flexibility, insight and integration.

I offer counselling both online / remotely using the GDP secure platform Writeupp. It is also very user friendly.

I am currently offering a block of 6 sessions for £240

I offer a concessionary rate of £30 per 50 minute session both online and in person, for those who are:

Unemployed

On low income

Unpaid Carers

I offer a free 20 minute session either online or via the telephone to discuss the counselling process and your needs and decide where to go from there.
