About me
I work with children, young people and adults and can offer counselling support for a range of issues including: stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and Neurodiversity.
I also offer neurodiversity coaching for ADHD and ASD and can support children (7 + years), adolescents, and adults. In addition to counselling, I also offer parenting support and coaching for complex/additional needs.
I can offer clients a range of therapeutic approaches, including: Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT, creative/expressive arts, and music-based approaches.
My counselling practice is open Thursday - Friday 9-6pm.
I charge £55 per session and sessions last for up to1 hour.
I offer both face-to-face and online sessions, depending on needs and preferences of the client.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation to talk about the client's needs and presenting issues, the approaches I offer, and how we could work together in counselling.

Fees

I charge a cancellation fee if sessions are booked in and then cancelled within 48 hours of the session taking place. The fee is half the cost of a full session (£27.50) to cover my time and the cost of the room.
I can offer a reduced fee to those receiving PIP/Universal Credit, and this can be discussed in the initial consultation.
Further information
I can offer a safe, supportive, and professional space for children, young people, and adults to come and explore life's challenges, identify what is working well and what is in need of attention. I'm a strong believer in the value of mental wellbeing for everyone, and I work collaboratively with clients to empower them to develop strategies that work for them and allow them to live their best lives.
