My therapy practice

In addition to specialising in grief, loss and bereavement, I can also offer support with other parts of life that you may be finding overwhelming and difficult to cope with.

I work with adults over the age of 18 who reside in the United Kingdom and the way I can support you is through online video or telephone counselling.  This is an experience that many of my clients have found to be uniquely valuable and meaningful for them. Offering support in this way means you can access my service from an environment with which you are familiar and where you feel safe and comfortable, wherever you are located within the United Kingdom.

Working online and by phone also enables me to maintain affordable rates and avoids my having to charge for missed sessions.

If you would like to have a chat about what you are looking for by way of support and how I might be able to help, please contact me through text, voicemail or email and we can arrange a mutually convenient time for me to call you. This initial consultation is free and enables us to decide if we would like to work together in a way that supports your needs. 

About me

I have a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling and am a certified counsellor in online and telephone counselling. I am also a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). However, qualifications are only part of what I can bring to you as a person-centred counsellor and to our counselling sessions.

For the past six years, I have worked as a bereavement volunteer with a leading, national charity.  However, it was personal experience of debilitating and prolonged grief that drew me to specialise in grief, loss and bereavement and make the move into private practice. 

How can I help You?

Sometimes unexpected things happen which may impact us in ways we never expected, leaving us feeling isolated, bewildered and possibly very confused.

It is my belief that how you experience life is unique to you and you are the only one who knows what that feels like and, as a person-centred counsellor, I respect that and my commitment is to work with you:

• In a partnership of mutual respect.
• To focus on what you feel is important.
• To support you with however you are experiencing life right now.
• To explore together sensitively, empathically and non-judgementally, how your experience feels and what it means to you in a way that tries to understand what it is to be you.

There are no rules when you feel you are struggling with life, there is no right and wrong way to be and sometimes we need support with that, and that is what I can offer. 

There are many benefits to accessing sessions online or by phone that you may not have considered.  For example, there are no travelling costs involved, sessions can be conducted in an environment where you feel most comfortable and, because I am not restricted by geographical location within the United Kingdom, I can offer greater flexibility with sessions that are tailored to fit your individual lifestyle, working hours, or caring responsibilities. 

Receiving support online or by phone is a therapeutic experience that many of my clients have found extremely valuable and meaningful.

Free Initial Consulation

Your initial telephone consultation is free and takes about about one hour.  This gives us an opportunity to look at what you are looking for by way of support and how I might be able to help you in a way that supports your needs. 

Before any booked sessions take place, I will provide you with details of how we have agreed to work together, along with my privacy policy and terms of confidentiality.  This gives you a further opportunity to decide if counselling is for you and at no time will you be under any obligation to proceed.  

As a rough guide, I recommend at least six sessions. However, we will take it on a session-by-session basis and it is for you to decide what you need and what feels best for you, and you are free to end therapy whenever you choose.

Because I offer support online or via the phone, I am able to continue to offer sessions at what I feel is an accessible and affordable rate of £40.  Each session lasts one hour.

I also offer a concessionary rate for students of £35 per hour.

Cancellation Policy

I understand that sometimes life gets in the way and it isn’t always possible for you to let me know in advance if you wish to cancel a session.  If that happens there is no penalty and I do not charge for missed sessions.
