About me and my therapy practice
If you are thinking about accessing counselling it can seem like a daunting task, but you are not alone. Nearly all of the individuals I have worked with thought that others deserved counselling more than they did. I have been a qualified counsellor for over 15 years and have helped people from a wide range of backgrounds to work through many issues. For more information you can visit my website and if you do wish to contact, I will be happy to help.
Practice description
As I work full time for the University of Portsmouth, I offer counselling sessions Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 6pm or Tuesdays (from October-June) 9am-12.30pm and Saturdays between 9.30am-1pm.
My first session
The first session is where we contract for the work we will be doing and getting an understanding of what you would like to gain from, and focus on, during your counselling sessions. I charge £55.00 for each session, including the first, but am happy to have a quick chat over the phone prior to starting if preferred.

About me and my therapy practice
I have been a counselling supervisor since 2016 with experience of facilitating both group and individual sessions. I have been trained in The Seven-Eyed Model for delivering supervision, however my background as an integrative therapist also informs my practice. My counselling career thus far, working with Rape Crisis, the Metropolitan Police as well as secondary and higher education has provided me with a wealth of valuable experience that I hope will be of benefit
Practice description
