About me
You may be considering therapy with a very clear idea of what is troubling you. Alternatively, you may just have a sense that something isn’t right, or feel that certain personal or professional difficulties keep repeating themselves. There are no right or wrong reasons. Your own personal reasons, however clear or vague they may seem, are where we will start from.
I provide one-to-one counselling to adults for a wide variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and abuse. Alongside this broader day-to-day practice, I specialise in working with adults that identify with terms like "driven" and/or "high-achieving" who find themselves grappling with difficulties like work/life balance, chronic stress, and paralysing perfectionism.
Being a therapist does not mean that I have an automatic expectation of being trusted. My job is to earn your trust and provide a place where you feel supported and safe enough to talk about what matters to you.
What I Can Offer:
- Therapy at Your Pace: For some people, short-term therapy can offer sufficient improvement, whilst for others longer-term therapy may be required. I offer both types. This is something we will discuss during your first session and keep under regular review. At all times, you retain the freedom to end therapy whenever you choose.
- Flexible Format: Sessions can be held in person at my therapy room in North Hykeham (LN6), over the telephone, or online via video call.
- Quick Response: I endeavour to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours (Mon-Fri) or 48 hours (weekends). If you find you haven’t received a response, please check your spam/junk folders.
- Concessionary Rate: A limited number of £25 sessions are available to students in full-time education and for individuals who receive certain state benefits.
If you would like to arrange a free 15-minute introductory telephone or video call before making your first appointment, please let me know when you get in touch.
