About me and my therapy practice
Once contacted I will arrange a free 20 minute chat to see if we are a good comfortable fit. It's important you know who I am so that you can trust me and consider sharing your inner world with me free from judgement in a safe place
As well as working with individuals, I counsel for The Brain Tumour Charity and The Pam Wellbeing Group
I 'm committed to getting to know you and your unique life experiences to gain insight so we can tailor our time together
Naturally humanistic and trained as a psychodynamic counsellor, since qualifying I have learnt many other counselling methodologies to work best with all
Friendly and inquisitive I help you discover conflicting thoughts and emotions whilst you develop a fresh understanding of yourself and behaviours
This process helps ease the impact of stored emotions whilst you gain greater control over your thoughts, behaviours and life
It's so peaceful to heal from our past or gain understanding on confusing thoughts that are with us in the present. By questioning behaviours, thoughts and feelings in a safe and non judgmental environment, we can become the best version of ourselves and our own best expert at choosing what is right for us in daily life
If you're feeling overwhelmed and tired of living with daily struggles that are creating stress, self-doubt and anxiety and you're looking to overcome these challenges, I can help with:
⦁ More assertive
⦁ Less fearful of what others think of you
⦁ Able to stand up for yourself
⦁ Successful in achieving your goals
⦁ Happy in your own skin
⦁ Free from negative thoughts like shame
⦁ Less dependent on people pleasing
⦁ Gain self value + self respect
Dedicated to working closely with my clients to uncover the underlying causes of struggles and identify what may be difficult
Whether you need insight, analysis, or a gentle nudge, I am here to support you with empathy, understanding, and a touch of humor as we work towards achieving lasting positive change

The counselling process is unique for each individual however here is what you can expect
Firstly we have a 20 minute free chat to see if we are a good fit
Secondly, we go through a working agreement so we are both fully aware of confidentiality, expectations and any goals you may have. Here we get to know each other and outline why you are there. I ease you in with a reassuring welcome and some gentle questions that will allow you to start telling your story in a safe place
Then, if we are right for each other, we will start to form a connection based on trust, respect and openness which will greatly enhance the possibility of a positive result
This leads to deeper discovery. Together we challenge the thoughts and beliefs that are holding you back. We unravel and unpick how you view yourself and your beliefs that perhaps you thought were set in stone
Finally, success will show as a freed and enlightened perspective of yourself and the world/people around you
A fresh possibility restored for a future with knowledge and understanding of what is your unique version of right and wrong
My first session
Once you make contact we can book in for an free 20 minute consultation to see if I am the right choice for you, after this we can arrange our first session
Once agreed you will receive confirmation of our session with a link for meeting online or details of our location for face to face, along with this will be our working agreement which covers what to expect plus payment and cancellation policy
We will spend 50-60 minutes together during our sessions and book in each time for the next one. If working online please choose a place that is private where you can relax in a quiet space
I carry out a review form which is a widely used multiple choice questionnaire to give an indication of where you are up to at that time. We will revisit this form from time to time to look for change.
