Seeking therapy can be daunting, especially when seeking help at a particularly tough time. You may be feeling stuck, lost and isolated. Maybe you’re standing at a crossroads, overwhelmed and unsure which way to go.

'The best way out is always through'    - Robert Frost

I offer a peaceful, confidential safe space, and a listening ear.

You can share your difficulties, explore your feelings and worries, safely in the knowledge that you will be treated with respect and kindness and that you will be heard without judgment.

By working through your concerns, issues and challenges, therapy can, in time, help you find the ability to face life head-on, striving towards a happier future.

We can explore whatever you decide to bring to our sessions.

You may not even understand exactly what is bothering you or causing your current distress, but taking time to gently delve into the issues at hand and unravelling any ‘knotty’ thoughts can be a relief. 

Therapy helps bring a sense of clarity which in turn enables you to process things more easily.

I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement and other forms of loss, guilt and shame, childhood trauma, life-limiting illness, and personal relationships. I can also help support you with your day-to-day challenges such as helping family and friends who may be suffering from their own physical and mental health issues. 

I understand it can be difficult to choose a therapist and I offer a free 15-minute call either over the phone or on Zoom.  Then we can arrange an initial 50-minute session. This 50-minute session is an opportunity to see if we can work together. We will chat in confidence about your expectations and desired outcomes and I can answer any questions you may have about the counselling process. 

Before our first meeting, I will send you a copy of my Client Agreement and we can discuss this during our first session.   

After a few face-to-face sessions, we can talk about Walk and Talk Therapy. 

Walk and Talk Therapy has many benefits and can be a useful way to connect to the bigger picture and gain a different sense of perspective.  

During a Walk and Talk Therapy session, we walk side by side, discussing your issues. Physical activity can help you to relax and feel more comfortable, making it easier to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. 

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and continue to undergo continued professional development to help grow my practice.
