Profile

People find therapy helpful for a number of problems, including depression, anxiety, bereavement and loss, relationship difficulties, abuse and trauma. Or, they find it valuable with their professional and personal development

Sometimes, people come to therapy not knowing what has brought them. They just feel that they are unfulfilled, unhappy or like they can’t cope, for example. This is something I can support you with.

Everyone is unique and I work with the person first, so don’t worry if your ‘problem’ isn’t on this list.  We can talk through your needs when we meet.

Therapy can provide a space for you to speak away from some of the stresses of everyday life. People find therapy beneficial for a number of reasons, including healing past hurts, raising awareness, changing relationship patterns and building hope for the future.

You can expect to be treated with the upmost respect and compassion.

Therapy can be emotionally demanding but also rewarding, so you do need to be committed to attending regularly.

I work to a rigorous code of ethics in order to protect your wellbeing (UKCP, SPTI and BACP).

Fees

Initially, I would ask you to come along to an assessment. An assessment takes place over two sessions, each costing £35. The aim of an assessment is for us both to:-

• Discuss what you would like to gain from therapy
• Ensure that therapy in this setting will be appropriate for you
• Agree goals

If after these two sessions you decide not to continue working with me, I will refund you £35. I will also seek to provide you with details of alternative support, if needed.

If you are happy to work with me, we will contract after the initial two assessment sessions. We will discuss the duration of our work at this point.

All appointments cost £35 for an hour.

Weekend and evening appointments are available.
