I understand that finding time for counselling can be a challenge amidst the demands of daily life. To accommodate your schedule, I offer dedicated working hours across three days of the week.

Mondays 9AM to 6PM.

Thursdays 9AM to 6PM.

Fridays 9AM to 6PM.

I strive to create a consistent and reliable schedule so you can plan your counselling appointments with confidence. If you have any questions regarding availability or wish to discuss booking an appointment, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Taking the courageous step to seek therapy is often the true starting point for profound positive growth and lasting self-empowerment. It signifies a readiness to explore, understand, and ultimately transform the challenges that may be holding you back from a more fulfilling life.

My therapeutic practice is founded upon an integrated model of counselling, which means I thoughtfully & flexibly draw upon a diverse array of therapeutic approaches. While I incorporate foundational elements from various established schools of thought, the guiding principles of attachment theory provide a crucial and illuminating lens through which to understand your experience, particularly concerning your relationships & how you connect with others.

I offer a compassionate, confidential, and judgment-free space designed specifically for adults & couples. Therapy is accessible from the comfort and privacy of your home, ensuring convenience and continuity no matter where you are. In our video call sessions, we will actively collaborate to explore your current challenges, whether they manifest as anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or a general feeling of being stuck. But our work won't stop at merely identifying the surface issues.

In our therapeutic journey together, you will engage with someone on a truly neutral and impartial level. My role is never to judge, dictate, or provide simplistic answers; instead, I offer steadfast support, deep understanding, and create the necessary conditions for you to discover your own unique answers, solutions, and inner wisdom. We will work collaboratively, as a team, to articulate precisely what is troubling you, understand the intricate roots of your feelings and experiences, and explore the most effective and sustainable strategies for managing your challenges and moving towards a more fulfilling life.

A core part of my therapeutic approach involves using the lens of attachment theory. This powerful framework helps us understand the deeper emotional and behavioural patterns that often keep individuals feeling trapped in repetitive cycles, particularly within their relationships. We'll look at how your earliest experiences, the foundational bonds you formed, continue to shape your sense of self, your expectations of others, and how you connect with them now. By uncovering these often unconscious influences, we gain invaluable insight into why certain patterns persist.

This newfound clarity then allows us to gain fresh perspectives on old problems and, crucially, to develop practical, effective strategies for real, lasting change. My commitment throughout this process is to respectfully guide you, providing unwavering support as you harness your innate inner strength and navigate towards a more resilient, authentic, and fulfilling life. The journey may present its challenges, but together, we will work towards uncovering your potential and building the skills necessary for sustained well-being.

In addition to this foundational work, I skillfully integrate other highly effective modalities into our sessions:

Transactional Analysis : Explores unseen communication patterns and internal "roles" in relationships to foster authentic interactions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: Identifies and challenges unhelpful thought patterns, developing healthier coping strategies for difficult emotions.

Mindfulness: Cultivates present-moment awareness to reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and promote calm.

Person-Centred Approaches: Creates a supportive, non-judgemental environment built on empathy and acceptance for a safe therapeutic relationship.

Your initial 50-minute assessment appointment is a crucial first step in your therapeutic journey. This session is designed to provide a safe, confidential and empathetic space where you can openly articulate and explore the challenges and experiences you are currently facing in your life. We will delve deeply into how these experiences are impacting your overall well-being, examining the intricate interplay of their emotional, mental, and physical manifestations. This comprehensive exploration will help us to understand the full scope of your present situation.

During this appointment, we will also take the necessary time to discuss the counselling contract in detail. This ensures that you have a clear and thorough understanding of the framework that will govern our therapeutic relationship. Key aspects such as the principles of confidentiality and our cancellation policies will be explained to provide complete transparency. More significantly, this initial session is dedicated to gaining a profound understanding of the specific issues, concerns, and challenges that have prompted you to seek counselling at this particular time. It offers you an invaluable opportunity to share your concerns and for us to identify and establish your primary goals for therapy.

A fundamental and essential aspect of this initial meeting is to ensure that you feel a genuine sense of comfort, trust, and confidence in working with me as your counsellor. Choosing a counsellor is an inherently personal and deeply significant decision, and it is paramount that you experience a strong sense of rapport and connection. It is important to emphasise that there is absolutely no obligation for you to continue with therapy if, for any reason, it does not feel like the right fit for you. I will fully respect and support your decision. My ultimate priority is to ensure that you find the support and guidance that genuinely resonates with your individual needs and therapeutic aspirations.
