Email meAbout me
Spring 2018
Before becoming a counsellor my background was in art and music. I have a broad life experience, which helps me connect and have a good rapport with all kinds of people from many walks of life. I believe it is in the quality of the relationship we form that makes therapy effective.
In life we can face challenges and difficulties that may be hard to navigate or work through alone. At times we may experience anxieties that can undermine our well-being. If you are overwhelmed, struggling with issues or feeling on your own, talking to someone who understands you can really help. I offer you my full support to help you work through any fears, anxieties or concerns you may have. I can help you understand yourself and your relationships better. To help you find clarity and be in control of your life. I can also help you to live your life the way you would like it to be. If there are changes you would like to make, we can work together to identify what they are and I can help you make those changes.
Counselling is not always about going back into the past; it is also about being in the present and considering your current thoughts, behaviours and feelings. By discovering more of who you are, your life and your relationships will improve. You may find a new sense of well being that will help you to make more satisfying life choices.
Together we can look at what is working for you and what may be holding you back or stopping you from living up to your potential and enjoying your life to the fullest.

Fees
An initial assessment is free of charge and without obligation. This will give us a chance to get to know each other and see how well suited we are to working together. This will provide time to discuss what you would like to gain from counselling and give you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about counselling and how it works. Sessions are usually weekly.
Assessment session is free (30-45 mins)
Counselling £40 (50mins)
Supervision £50 (60 mins)
Payment at the beginning or end of each session or by weekly standing order, this can be discussed at the initial consultation.
Contact me by phone or email if you would like to come for an assessment.
