If you're looking for a counsellor who is warm, down to earth and approachable, then you're in the right place. It can be hard to choose from so many different profiles, especially if you're feeling unsure or wary about what therapy can offer you. 

 Being heard, having a space to be truthful and feel supported can be transformative. It helps you to know and understand yourself, and live a better life that suits you.

 I have lots of experience in working with loss, parenting, relationships, depression/anxiety and domestic abuse.  I also work with chronic and life changing health issues. My experience with clients experiencing domestic abuse comes from counselling in a women's refuge as well as working with this in my private practice. I am a parent myself as well as previously working within a maternity unit and training as an antenatal teacher. I have lived experience of health issues and anxiety, both personally and within my immediate family. 

I am an integrative therapist, which means that I have training across different approaches in counselling/psychotherapy. I work both long and short term, and can offer weekly or fortnightly sessions.

I am currently undertaking additional studies in working with bereavement with the Shapes of Grief project, which is a level 4 course. I am also studying with the Foundation for Infant Loss, which includes training on working with fertility issues.

Send me an email, a text or leave a voicemail, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. We can arrange a chat over the phone, which is free of charge. This helps you to discover if therapy with me may suit your needs, and for me to work out if I can support you.

I work mainly online, using WhatsApp video, Skype and will be introducing another platform shortly. I do have some limited in person appointments. I also offer telephone counselling which is discounted, we have 50 minutes together for £40. 

What you can expect from me is warmth, genuineness, empathy and integrity. I work with clients to build a therapeutic relationship that enables you to gain the most from counselling. This may be short term or long term, a choice that remains with you. 

Online and telephone therapy/counselling is equally effective as being in the room, I have undertaken additional training to work in this way. Huge benefits are saving you time and money on travel, allowing you flexibility in where you have your counselling too. It may be at home, in your car, or on a park bench! 

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I can draw on a range of theories to aid our work. Essentially I believe in our relationship, and that we are equals, I may ask questions and may suggest things to think about. 

From your first session, you'll be met with kindness and warmth.  What brings you to therapy now,  what do you need from this experience? We'll work together starting to build a therapeutic working relationship. 

Sessions are 60 minutes long and will cost £50.00. Telephone sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £40.00

If we are online together, I encourage you to have a drink ready, and to be as comfortable as possible, ideally undisturbed. For in person sessions, I'll meet you at my gate and walk you through into the rear garden to my cabin. 

I'll already know a little bit about you from our initial chat on the phone, and you may have thought of other questions you'd like to ask. I will ask some questions that are relevant and I may make a few notes, these are kept confidential and locked away. 

You'll have paid already via online banking and I will have sent a text reminder. And you would have given me your details such as a next of kin and your address, purely for emergencies, again these are kept confidential. You would also have seen my therapy agreement, this tells you what you need to know. 

We start and finish on time, so that we can plan our day's and make other arrangements.
