About me and my therapy practice

I am a BACP registered integrative psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I work with adults and my expertise is working with young people, ages 16 - 20, including university students. I am also a registered Anxiety UK therapist. I can offer you support with anxiety disorders, depression, low self esteem, stress, loss & bereavement. I also have an interest in pre/postnatal depression. My specialisms include panic disorder and general anxiety disorder. I have a background in education, spanning over ten years. I have practiced as a counsellor in FE and Sixth form College. I also lectured and supervised on different counselling courses. Other areas I can help you with include: relationship/ family issues, self-harm, separation/divorce, trauma and suicidal ideation. See below for a definitive list.

Practice description

As an integrative therapist I will draw on different theories and skills and apply what is best suited to you and your needs. Therapy is a bit like a structured conversation where you can speak freely about your life without judgement. I am open and honest in relation to all aspects of my work with you. I foster a confidential, non-judgemental and empathetic space, supporting you when these issues you are experiencing. It is my wish that our sessions together can help you to understand yourself better and provide greater insight/awareness of your presenting issues or life experience.

In person within a room, phone, online and walk and talk sessions are once a week, 50 minutes in duration. A day and time will be agreed prior to each session.

My integrative training allows me to be flexible and adaptable with my approach as I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all endeavour. I feel that gaining insight into our inner worlds and relationships with others allows us to move forward with more self-compassion/understanding. I integrate different ways of working such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) techniques and mindfulness. I am also a trained rewind technique therapist and sound therapist.

Walk and Talk Therapy, also known as eco therapy is a form of counselling/psychotherapy where confidential sessions take place outside with you the client and myself walking side by side. It is also referred to as Outdoor Therapy. The pace is set by you and I match your pace. If you wish to pause or sit you are free to do so.

The objective of Walk and Talk is for us to have a counselling session. However, walking in a natural environment provides an additional therapeutic context. I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework and same rules of confidentiality as in face to face counselling sessions. Walk and talk sessions provide flexibility and advantages, especially for parents with young children and prams.

My first session

We can set a time and place for the first session over the phone as I offer a free 15 min initial consultation. Please feel free to contact me via email or phone.

The first session is to set the boundaries and discuss how we can work together, as everyone has different reasons for therapy and what they wish to achieve from it.

This session is also a time for you to ask me any questions in relation to how I work, the therapeutic model I use, and to finalise payment details.
