Hello, I believe in compassion, trust, and growth. My aim is to empower individuals and young people (teenagers) through understanding and support. Creating safe spaces to explore your thoughts and feelings. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, or life changes, I’m here to listen, together we will work on understanding your challenges and building coping strategies.

I have been working as a therapist offering counselling to young people and adults over the last 15 years. I work both face to face and online. I care about my work with my clients, I am good at what I do and I enjoy it. Whilst I cannot promise miracles, I can promise that I will give you everything I have to help you work through the difficulties that you are experiencing. If you’ve read this far, I’m guessing you’re ready to do the same for yourself.

I offer Adult Therapy, Young Peoples (teenagers) Therapy, Walking Therapy, School Based Therapy & Supervision.

I am a qualified supervisor and offer supervision to trainees and qualified counsellors working with individuals and young people. I also provide supervision within schools to safeguarding and pastoral staff who can really benefit from this service.

Teen Therapy - It’s tough when your teenager is in pain, and you’re unable to fix it. As a parent, you want your teen to feel confident. You’re willing to do what it takes to support them, but you aren’t sure how. Maybe you’ve scoured the internet for help, read parenting books, and asked your friends for advice on what to do. The suggestions you got may have helped a little, but they didn’t solve the problems.

Whether your teen is sharing things with you that upset you both, or turning away and leaving you wondering what’s actually going on – you know something is different. Something is wrong. You’re determined to get them help.

Walking Therapy - Walking therapy is something that I find to be very therapeutic with clients of all ages. Instead of sitting in front of your counsellor in a traditional therapy room, the counselling session takes place outdoors walking side by side.

It is counselling in motion. If you have felt stuck in therapy in the past, being physically active helps release some tensions and stimulates new thoughts and ideas. It is a metaphor for moving forward.

During a walking therapy session, you lead the pace just like in a traditional counselling session. Walking side by side can feel less intimidating and helps release inhibition.

School Therapy - Since 2013 I have been providing a counselling service in primary schools across Suffolk & Norfolk for staff and pupils. Please contact me if you would like more information about this service for your school. References are available upon request.

Therapy sessions are £50:00 for 60 minutes. Sessions can be either online, face-to-face or walking. 

Supervision sessions are £50:00 for 60 minutes. I offer session lengths of 60, or 90 minutes by prior agreement. Sessions can be either online or face-to-face. 

Believing that counselling should be available to all I also offer those on low incomes or benefits a concessionary rate – this starts at £35.00 for a daytime session only. Please note that I have limited spaces for concessionary rate sessions so please contact me to check availability. I operate a waiting list whenever necessary.

What do I offer? - I understand that taking the first step to begin counselling can feel daunting. I offer a confidential, safe, non-judgemental space in which you can talk about emotions and thoughts that you may not have been able to express before. My aim is to provide a supportive therapeutic relationship where you experience warmth, empathy and understanding.

Can therapy really help me? Yes, it can. Counselling gives you a place where you’re not judged, you’re not told what to do, and you won’t be forced to listen to just one single opinion. I want to give you a place to feel safe to share about yourself. Therapy takes some work at times and I won’t lie, it can get uncomfortable. But, I feel that most people leave counselling feeling like the time and energy they put into therapy was well worth it.

How can I tell if a counsellor is a good fit for me? There are a few ways that you may go about figuring that out. One way is the “you’ll know when you know” method. It’s important to feel like you connect with someone if they’re going to be your counsellor. The therapeutic relationship is the connection and relationship developed between the therapist and client over time. Without the therapeutic relationship, there can be no effective or meaningful therapy.

Another option is to do a little research and see if anyone specializes in the problems that are bringing you to therapy. That can be really valuable.

In the end, it really is your decision, and it’s one that you are definitely able to make! If nothing else, you deserve to decide on your therapist. For parents, it’s going to be the best bet to let your teen have plenty of input in choosing their therapist.
