I offer weekly sessions online.

I work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between 10.00am and 7.00pm.

Sessions are £55.00 for 50 minutes.

Hello, I am a BACP accredited psychotherapist working online and in person with adults who come to counselling for many different reasons. I am trained to deliver EMDR and am working towards accreditation with EMDR Association UK.  

I provide a confidential, caring and non-judgemental setting in which I can learn about and understand your situation.  Together we then consider how you would like it to be different and work towards change.  I have a special interest in and experience of working in working therapeutically with trauma and anger issues.

During the Covid-19 lockdowns I volunteered for Anxiety UK, answering hundreds of calls to the helpline, and I currently volunteer for a charity providing support to victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse.  

Psychodynamic therapy aims to help us understand how our current thoughts, feelings and behaviours are shaped by past experiences. It encourages us to explore negative feelings and patterns in relationships and to work through them so they have less power over us.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is recognised by the NHS as an effective way to work with a wide range of mental health issues and with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in particular. It can help clients reduce the effects of trauma such as flashbacks, nightmares, upsetting thoughts or images.

During the early years of my career I served in the British Army  and I have since worked with the Fire and Rescue Service. I therefore have a special interest in working with current and former members of the Armed Forces, and those working in the Emergency Services.  

Initial conversation - 15-20 minutes, no charge.

The relationship with your therapist is key to the success of any kind of counselling or psychotherapy.  

For this reason I offer a 15-20 minute conversation on the phone or online free of charge.  This gives you the opportunity to decide if I am the right counsellor for you and for me to consider if my approach would be right for you. 

Weekly sessions

If we agree to go ahead with counselling we meet weekly at the same time for a 50 minute session.
