I offer therapy sessions in person at The Practice in Guildford, and online via video. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs.

Hello, I’m an experienced Counsellor based in Guildford. Taking the first step to finding the right support can be daunting. Whatever you're experiencing, be it anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, bereavement, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone.

My passion is supporting people to navigate difficult times, understand themselves more deeply, and find meaningful ways to move forward. I have a caring and non-judgemental approach and aim to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

I practice psychotherapeutic counselling, focusing on how your past experiences might be influencing your current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. This approach might be right for you if you’re curious about understanding yourself on a deeper level. 

Together, we’ll look at patterns in your life - like relationships that don’t feel quite right, recurring struggles, or emotions that seem hard to shake. My aim is to help you uncover the roots of these issues, so you can approach them with new insight and find ways to move forward.

You don't need to have all the answers or specific goals; starting with a sense that something isn't right is enough. We'll work collaboratively to find the path that feels right for you.

Counselling is a deeply personal journey and finding the right fit is key. If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch to organise a free 20 minute telephone conversation to allow us to get to know each other.

If then you’d like to take the next step, we would book an initial 50 minute consultation. During this we'll explore the issues you’d like to focus on and the changes you’re hoping for. Together, we’ll discuss your options - whether that’s working for a set amount of time or taking a more open-ended, exploratory approach. I offer this session at half price.

Both of these are an opportunity for you to see if I'm the right person to support you. It’s your time to ask questions, understand what to expect, and make sure you feel comfortable before deciding to move forward.
