I am accepting clients. Please contact me and we can discuss how to take this forward.

I support to young people and adults manage anxiety and stress, overcome low mood, and boost confidence and low self-esteem. I’m a therapist and coach, working with evidence-based approaches – and I have personal experience that they work and can turn your life around! I understand what it is like to struggle with anxiety and self-doubt while outwardly seeming successful and functioning. I believe that changing your relationship with yourself is the key to achieving peace of mind, and flourishing in all aspects of life, including relationships, career and physical health.

I’m here to support you in managing anxiety, regulating stress, boosting your self-belief and self-confidence and help you find ways to raise your self esteem. You may have experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move beyond what happened. You might have developed unhealthy patterns or an addiction that changes your behaviour.

The therapeutic relationship is paramount to how I work. I the counselling relationship is a working relationship based on equality. Together we create a safe place that you feel you can trust to explore whatever you feel relevant. My role is to listened, firstly and then support you discover the appropriate paths of recovery for yourself.

I am accredited and have been recently audited (2023) and work with the  BACP Code Of Ethics as part of my personal ethical framework. 

My counselling service offers a safe haven in which you can talk freely about any concerns or distress being experienced. I offer a therapeutic space where we can explore together any difficulties or painful feelings that you may be experiencing without judgment and all in the strictest confidence.

A session lasts for the counselling hour i.e., 50 minutes and will start and finish on time. charge £60 per session to be paid weekly. I offer face to face or zoom sessions.

Bringing our work to an end takes a bit of time and it is a process. It is beneficial for us to discuss together the intention of ending and discuss the time it would need to bring our work to an end.

I offer a first telephone consultation free of charge with no time limit to access if i am an appropriate fit for you. If you would like to work with me, you will receive a contract outlining the agreed date, time and place of our sessions, how I work safely on your behalf, missing sessions, illness, payment details and other practical house keeping information.
