About me

Are you struggling with some of the challenges that life can bring? Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Overwhelmed? Lacking in motivation? Do you feel that it's time to make change but you're not sure how to go about it? If so, I can help.


I believe that by offering to truly listen to you, the client, without judgement, you can start to explore your world and begin to gain a better understanding of that world and your part in it. This understanding can then lead to any number of possibilities depending on what you feel is right for you.


Verbalising our feelings can leave us feeling vulnerable and we need to know that this vulnerability will be respected and responded to in a caring and sensitive way. I can offer you this by providing an empathic, non-judgemental and confidential space where I can help you to explore issues in a private, quiet and relaxed environment.

Training, qualifications & experience

        Fees

        I offer face-to-face or telephone counselling for adult individuals at the following rates:

        Initial Consultation:-

        £50 per weekday session

        £60 per evening session

        Ongoing Counselling Fees:-

        Weekday £50 - £80 per 50 minute session
        Evening £60 - £90 per 50 minute session

        I really believe that everyone would benefit from speaking with a Counsellor and I also understand that not everyone can afford to do so, I therefore offer Counselling fees on a sliding scale to try and make my services available to as many people as possible. We will agree your ongoing counselling fee at the initial consultation.
