About me
Natural Presence Counselling
Do you feel as if life is happening to you?
Is there something missing, where there could be more?
Are there hidden, unwanted patterns in your life keeping you stuck?
Rather than seeing you as someone who needs to fundamentally change, my role as a counsellor is to uncover the natural presence that you already possess.
We all have natural presence. It is our innate awareness, our fundamental aliveness, and indistinguishable from being human.
Natural presence is inseparable from our interconnectedness. It is kind, appreciative and embodied, and the more we have of it, the greater our capacity for love, relationship and creativity.

Fees
£60.00 per session
Additional information
The initial meeting is £30. This one off, one hour meeting is an opportunity for you to share more about what has brought you to counselling, and for us to get a sense of whether we would work well together, and be a good fit.
If we decide to work together I usually suggest 6 more sessions, to give us the opportunity to begin to understand and undermine the patterns that are holding you back. We'll review how things have been for you on the sixth week, and see where you want to go from there - whether that is to finish counselling, to have more short term sessions, or to engage in something longer term.
Further information
I am also a practicing Buddhist, a singer-songwriter and a performer. I have been on a journey of self transformation for over half my life now, and the more I change, the more I realise that the goal is to become more and more myself.
