I am warm, supportive, empathic and can listen to your truth without judgment. I'm authentic, down to earth and able to offer challenge where it's wanted or needed. 

 Being heard, having a space to be truthful and feel supported can be transformative. It helps you to know and understand yourself, and live a better life that suits you.

 I have lots of experience in working with grief and loss, IVF, infertility, miscarriage, relationships, depression/anxiety and neurodivergence.  I also work with chronic and life changing health issues. I have undertaken additional training in working with infertility and infant loss. Over the years I have supported lots of teachers. 

I am an integrative therapist, which means that I have training across different approaches in counselling/psychotherapy. I work both long and short term, and can offer weekly or fortnightly sessions.

I have completed post qualification training in bereavement and loss, IVF, infertility and anxiety.

Send me an email, a text or leave a voicemail, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. We can arrange a chat over the phone, which is free of charge. This helps you to discover if therapy with me may suit your needs, and for me to work out if I can support you.

I work online, using WhatsApp video, and sometimes have an opening for in person sessions. I also offer telephone counselling.

What you can expect from me is warmth, genuineness, empathy and integrity. I work with clients to build a therapeutic relationship that enables you to gain the most from counselling. This may be short term or long term, a choice that remains with you. 

Online and telephone therapy/counselling is equally effective as being in the room, I have undertaken additional training to work in this way. Huge benefits are saving you time and money on travel, allowing you flexibility in where you have your counselling too. It may be at home, in your car, or on a park bench! 

I am an integrative counsellor, which means I can draw on a range of theories to aid our work. Essentially I believe in our relationship, and that we are equals, I may ask questions and may suggest things to think about. 

From your first session, you'll be met with kindness and warmth.  What brings you to therapy now,  what do you need from this experience? We'll work together starting to build a therapeutic working relationship. 

Sessions are 60 minutes long and will cost £50.00

I encourage you to have a drink ready, and to be as comfortable as possible, ideally undisturbed. However, babes in arms are warmly welcomed!

I'll already know a little bit about you from our initial chat on the phone, which is free, and you may have thought of other questions you'd like to ask. I will ask some questions that are relevant and I may make a few notes, these are kept confidential and locked away. 

You'll have paid already via online banking and I will have sent a text reminder. And you would have given me your details such as a next of kin and your address, purely for emergencies, again these are kept confidential. You would also have seen my therapy agreement, this tells you what you need to know. 

We start and finish on time, so that we can both plan our day and make other arrangements. 

I am available on Thursdays and Fridays during the daytime, plus early Sunday mornings. 

I usually take 10-14 days off over the Christmas holiday period.

 Warmth, humour, and realness are a part of my work. I can challenge when wanted and be a gentle supporter too. I am experienced with grief and bereavement, IVF and infertility, parenthood, living with neurodiversity and limiting health conditions. I work daily with anxiety, fear, self limiting beliefs and feeling stuck. 

Do get in touch to see how I can support you, and help you to support yourself. I offer 60 minute sessions, 30 minute sessions can also be considered. 

What you can expect from me is warmth, empathy and a non judgmental approach. My practice is about offering a space where you can express how you really feel and to allow you to be you. The power of being heard and having your feelings validated is huge, understanding yourself and finding ways to move forward can be life changing.  Both long and short term clients are welcome.

LGBTQ+ friendly, neurodivergent friendly. 

Before our first session we would have spoken on the phone (which is for 20 minutes and is free of charge) to get an idea of why you'd like to have counselling. The first session may be about settling in, working out where you want to start. Perhaps working out what you need and want from therapy. 

 I usually make brief notes in the first couple of sessions, these are confidential. The first session is charged at my standard rate of £50.
