About me
If you are struggling to make sense of your life I am keen to offer support. Counselling can give you the tools you need to find direction and create meaning. Moreover, it can provide you with relief from emotional distress and increased freedom and personal choice.
Why Counselling?
I believe counselling has the potential to bring about personal growth and transformation by for instance promoting fresh insights about oneself and the other people and elements that compose your world. In addition, it can enrich your own valuable inner resources and strengthen your ability to access and utilise these.
Why choose me as your Counsellor?
I always strive to treat my clients with compassion, sensitivity and respect and create a safe and non-judgemental space where they can feel listened to and can address their concerns at their own pace.
I work with both person-centred and psychodynamic principles and offer either short-term or open-ended counselling.
First steps
I appreciate that reaching out to make that first step towards counselling can feel daunting but rest assured that you will be met with a warm welcome. I see clients in a tranquil and comfortable consulting room in the centre of Cambridge and offer a warm and empathetic approach.
If after reading my profile you feel you would like to make contact please do so. I will then suggest we have a free 15-minute conversation on the phone and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have for me. I will then suggest we meet in person for an initial consultation lasting 50 minutes. This consultation gives you the opportunity to see if you will feel comfortable working with me and gives me the chance to assess your wants and needs. The consultation will be charged at my usual sessional rate of £45 per 50 minute session. If after this you choose to proceed with counselling I will find you a regular weekly slot.
I look forward to hearing from you.
