Online and face to face sessions available.

Contacting a therapist is likely to be a scary experience. I understand that seeking support takes courage, and can feel like a very big step. Seeking to talk confidentially to another person is, in my view, a sign of self-respect and self worth, and can lead to new insight and understanding. As an introduction, I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation where we can discuss your needs, any questions you may have and decide whether to begin working together. Bringing openness and clarity to the process of therapy can often help ease any fears or uncertainties you may be experiencing. 

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in situations, and experiencing feelings, which can seem impossible to move beyond. It is my belief that with the space and time to explore our depths, we can find our own way forward. I believe that every person is unique and has the capacity to change and gain new emotional insight. My aim as a therapist is to support and help people reconnect to a sense of empowerment, which can ultimately lead to change. I believe wholeheartedly in change, and am an advocate of the change process. I am personally aware of the challenges involved in breaking free of destructive and damaging patterns in order to reach potential, having been actively engaged in my own personal and professional development for some time now.

I am a professionally trained Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, with experience working with people from many different social and cultural backgrounds who are experiencing a wide range of issues. I offer a non-judgemental space within which to explore your feelings, thoughts and distressing experiences.

My job is to facilitate the process of you reaching your own potential - I will help you to identify your therapeutic goals and together we can work towards these. Based on what you bring to therapy, I hold in mind different interventions that I might use if and when I judge it is necessary, and if I feel it may benefit you further.

I am open and sincere in my approach to people, and the therapeutic space I provide is warm and comfortable.

If you have any questions about my practice or the therapy process please do get in touch. 

If there is a problem you are struggling with which has not been mentioned here, and you would like an open and honest discussion about whether we can work together, please do get in touch.

My fee is £60 per session, and sessions are 60 minutes.

I have 2 weekly concessionary sessions available for those on a low income. I run a waiting list if these sessions are full.

If you choose to we can chat on the phone prior to meeting face to face - this is free of charge. It gives us the opportunity to share a brief introduction and answer any questions you may have regarding the process. It will also give us a clearer idea about whether we may be able to work together.

I accept bacs payment transfer in advance of a session, or cash in session.
