About me
I'm an integrative, NCPS-accredited therapist, with over 20 years experience, providing a safe, warm, and therapeutic space to help you navigate life's toughest emotional challenges. Whether you are seeking individual counselling, couples therapy, or clinical supervision, my goal is to help you break through obstacles, gain fresh perspectives, and improve your mental wellbeing.
Why Work With Me? Sometimes, when faced with lifes challenges family and friends aren't enough and you need something more. I firmly believe that no matter what life throws at you, you have the inner ability to heal, grow, and reclaim your power. I can facilitate you to find this.
I don't believe in a "one size fits all approach". I pull from a vast therapeutic 'toolkit', including Person-Centred, Solution-Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness, as well as an expanse of coping strategies and self-help techniques to fit your exact needs.
I provide a warm, non-judgmental and strictly confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts freely and work toward your goals.
Therapy can be intense; however, our sessions may also be sprinkled with unexpected laughter and humour - even when you are feeling low or vulnerable.
I offer an initial free 30-minute telephone consultation to establish your needs and hopes for therapy. This also gives you the opportunity to identify if I am the right person to help, or if you feel comfortable to work with me prior to booking any sessions.
I offer sessions in person from the Bow Street centre in Guisborough, online via Teams or by telephone.
My fees are: £60 per 1 hour session for individual counselling
£80 per 1 hour session for couples counselling
£60 per 1 hour / £90 per 1.5 hours for individual clinical supervision
