About me
I offer counselling in person or online. I am an accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and work to their ethical guidelines. This means that your confidentiality is protected, we work towards mutually agreed goals, and we will discuss together how long therapy will last.
My counselling style is warm and interactive which means I will respond thoughtfully to what you say and am happy to answer (some of) your questions about myself if you have any. There may well be laughter, tears, silence or animated discussion at various points in our sessions. I believe that therapy happens in the space that we create together, when we both feel safe enough to be honest with each other.
I am a client-led therapist, which means that we will go at your pace and I won't push you to talk about anything you don't want to. You can talk as much or as little as you like, and you can ask me to adapt the therapy to whatever helps you to feel ... how you want to feel. Comfortable? Engaged? Maybe you would like me to ask you more (or less) questions, or turn up the heating or close the blinds. Maybe you would like to do some colouring while we talk, or wear sunglasses. Maybe you would like to have longer or shorter sessions, or meet more or less frequently.
I am a late-diagnosed autistic person and I have undertaken extra reading and training to find out more about neurodivergence.
If you are caring for a baby you are welcome to bring them along if that makes it easier for you to access counselling. My garden room is safe for babies who are crawling.
I offer an initial 10-15 minute chat so we can get to know each other a little and see if we want to work together.

Further information
When you contact me, I will get back to you within 24 hours.
Once we have made an appointment I will send you my contract and privacy policy. If you have any questions or would like to modify anything, we can talk about that in our first session.
If you are coming for a face to face session, there is ample parking outside the house. I am about a 20-minute bike ride from the town centre.
I look forward to working with you!
