About me and my therapy practice

Life can be a struggle for all of us at times, and how many of us can say we have a space to think and process what is going on for us. Therapy is the time where you matter and where you can sit in a calm space, explore your feelings, tell your story and just having a moment to think clearly without judgement or interruptions. Talking can be confronting, but it can also be freeing.

I am an experienced qualified therapist, who appreciates how hard it can be to open up especially to a stranger and explore deep feelings, maybe even traumatic ones. That’s why as your therapist I will offer a friendly, empathetic and approachable service. As a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I work to the BACP’s standards of Good Practice and their Code of Ethics. I trained as a psychodynamic therapist but bring a relational tone to the way I work as I appreciate we aren’t all comfortable with the smart shoes and long silence approach. The counselling space will be confidential, safe, non-judgmental and supportive for you to think about your feelings, explore the why’s and sit with the unknowns. 

Practice description

Through years of counselling and working in the childcare sector, I have come to acknowledge and appreciate our experiences in our early years are so impactful in shaping how we respond to events in our present. I have had the pleasure of working with many young adults and understand the impact and challenges they are faced with in today’s society and the anxiety that comes with that. 

I have experience of working with many different issues that affect our everyday lives. We all have our own individual needs, this is not a one size fits all. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, a work related issue, going through a bereavement, or have suffered a trauma, I am here to work intuitively with you recognising we all have challenges to face that need some support working through them. I feel that at the heart of therapy is your relationship with your therapist which needs to have trust, respect, empathy and feel right for you.

 I offer sessions on a weekly basis either day time or evenings that last 50 minutes. I can work face-to-face or online for open-ended or time-limited therapy. 

I offer a concessionary rate for students 18+ in full time education (proof required) this is time-limited work for 52 chargeable sessions.

My first session

Starting therapy can be daunting and maybe you’re not sure if it’s for you or worried you might not click with your therapist. For this reason I offer an initial free 30 minute session online, this gives you the opportunity to meet with me and make sure you like my style and approach to therapy and decide together if we want to moved forward. 

I also use this session to take all the relevant current and historical details to give me a clearer picture of where you are currently.
