Current availability is on Thursdays and Fridays within business hours.

I charge £60 per 50 min online session.

I offer a free 15-minute initial enquiry phone call or zoom meeting. 

I am an experienced and qualified Integrative Counsellor. My approach to counselling is a flexible one and seeks to put understanding you at the heart of the work. I aim to offer counselling where you feel heard, understood and accepted. My hope is to work with you in collaboration, in the spirit of discovery, understanding and change. 

Especially if you've not had counselling before, it may feel like a daunting task to make initial contact. I encourage you to take the leap. Please feel free to contact me, to talk through how I may be of help to yourself.

My core training is as an Integrative Counsellor. This includes training in the main models of counselling and psychotherapy – the Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and the Psychodynamic. This enables me to offer a helping relationship that is flexible and informed.

​

The Humanistic traditions are my main influence and closest to my own heart and personality. To me this means creating a non-judgmental relationship, understanding that you are the expert on you and creating a space where you feel understood. To work in collaboration with you so that you can discover and enact creative solutions that suit you and your life.

​

I offer once weekly 50 minute sessions. I don't work to a prescribed number of sessions and will work towards a timely and supportive ending. 

I hope to gain a helpful insight into yourself and your circumstances from our first meeting.

I hope to see you in context as much as possible. I find that getting a broader look is very helpful at this initial stage. I will be interested in your lifestyle, and what you feel is working well or difficult (i.e. sleep, relationship with food, phone and social media use, how you relax, etc). And learning about any relevant medical issues, exploring your original family structure and relationships, and anything historical that you feel is still impacting you.

I will seek to understand your experience of mind and body, thoughts and feelings. 

Building up to looking at your current situation, why you have come into counselling now, and what you would like to gain from the experience. 

Sometimes this initial assessment phase takes more than one session. Sometimes a focus becomes very clear, or sometimes this takes a bit of exploring to work out. 

In any case, I will plan to save time for you to reflect on how you have found the session with me, how it feels, and if you believe that we will work well together. I also appreciate that people process differently, some individuals will need to go away to be able to reflect on this fully.
