About me and my therapy practice
How are you feeling today?
We usually go through life responding to this question with a simple ‘fine’ or ‘OK’, but when was the last time you felt able to answer this question honestly?
You might not be OK, you may be struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, difficult relationships, abuse or depression. Maybe you’re feeling sad, angry, frustrated, misunderstood, or just lost, and you want to get back to feeling like 'you' again. Or maybe even discovering who 'you' really are, for the first time. You may have a particular issue to explore, or you might not be able to pinpoint exactly what's worrying you. Either way, talking about it is a great way to begin to understand what’s going on for you and to start to see things more clearly.
As a qualified and experienced integrative counsellor, I draw on theories from person centred, CBT and psychodynamic modalities. Each client is a unique individual and I adapt how I work accordingly, tailoring my approach to one that best suits the client.
We can discuss what brought you to counselling and explore your fears and worries to help you gain a better understanding of yourself and what you would like to change or accept.
Practice description
I currently have availability for online sessions only.
Each session is 50 minutes long and usually takes place at the same time each week.
This is a time to focus solely on you, a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings without judgement and without fear of upsetting anyone or worrying how others might react.
My first session
I offer a free initial telephone call, this will usually last around 10-15 minutes. We can discuss your concerns and what you would like to get out of counselling. I will explain how I work and we can see if we are a good ‘fit’ for each other. There is no obligation to take things any further after this initial call. If you decide that you would like to go ahead we can look at suitable days/times.
I know it can be scary to take the first step, but I’m really down to earth and easy to talk to!
