Email meAbout me
I am a BACP accredited counsellor who currently works within the emergency services supporting staff and alongside I run a small private counselling practice.
From time to time we can all experience difficulties and be unsure about the way forward. I offer a professional; confidential service in a discreet, supportive and caring environment.
The starting point is to meet me for an initial assessment which will help you decide if you would feel comfortable talking to me and will enable me to discuss how I can help you.
Short term and long term sessions are available subject to clinical need.
My service is offered in accordance with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Ethical Framework.

Fees
Assessments £25 and sessions £50 per 50 minute session.
I prefer to book 2 assessment sessions initially as this gives us a chance to meet properly and explore the situation to a greater depth. This also enables you to consider if I am a counsellor you feel comfortable working with.
Concessions available to student therapists.
A therapy plan is agreed with you in advance so you know what you are committing to.
