About me and my therapy practice

I am an accredited integrative counsellor with experience working with adults and young people on a range of issues. I offer a space for you to open up and explore your feelings in a confidential, non-judgemental and empathic environment. Maybe you want to work through a particular situation or life event, or look at unhelpful patterns of feeling/behaviour. Perhaps you are interested in developing your personal awareness by exploring aspects of your ‘self ‘ further. You are the expert on you and I am here to support you to find a way to help yourself. There are many reasons why you may be choosing to seek counselling at this time, and no one situation is the same as another. Your life and story is unique to you, so I am flexible with the approach I use, finding a way of working to suit you. I am trained in Integrative counselling which includes Person-Centred, Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis approaches, as well as having completed additional training in trauma therapy and EMDR therapy. I draw from all these approaches in my work, but at the core of my work I am relational.

Practice description

Counselling sessions will usually be 50 minutes weekly or fortnightly and could be online or in person. These sessions could range from short to long term, depending on the need.

EMDR sessions are longer, being 90 minutes, this time is needed for processing. EMDR usually requires less sessions to complete, as we work in a very different way. Sessions could be more frequent (eg. 2-3 a week) depending on availability.

My first session

I offer a free 15-20 minute telephone call to briefly discuss your concerns and help you decide whether you’d like to book a full session.

Alternatively a shorter initial session, which lasts around 30 minutes and is £30. This gives us a chance to test whether we would work well together and for you to learn more about how counselling works, if you're new to it.

If you would prefer you can go straight for a full session which is £55 for a 50 minute counselling session or £80 for a 90 minute EMDR session.

Both can be either in person or online.
