My working hours are from 9.00 to 6.00pm, Monday to Thursday, and 5.00pm Fridays but I can occasionally offer later appointments.

I am a warm, approachable and down to earth person, passionate and dedicated to my profession. I am a qualified counsellor, trained to work with adults and young people splitting my week between my private practice and working in schools.

My approach to therapy is person-centred, however by offering both talking and creative therapies clients have the opportunity to discover what works best for them.

I offer a safe and supportive and comfortable environment to talk about difficult issues, in confidence.  I listen to a client’s views, experiences and feelings without judgement in an atmosphere of respect and empathy, working collaboratively to build a secure and trusting relationship. 

I believe we all have value, deserve respect and have an instinctive tendency to grow, change and achieve our full potential. Sometimes life can get in the way of this and sometimes we need a little help to get unstuck. Sometimes it is hard to talk to those we are closest to for fear of upsetting them and easier to talk to someone outside of the situation. This does not mean that anyone has failed.

I work from a room at home which caters well for sessions with adults and young people.

Sessions for children and young people can be very different to an adult session. Often children and younger people prefer play based or creative activities alongside or instead of talking as it can be easier to tell their story and express feelings in this way. I offer a variety of resources including drawing, writing, painting, clay, sand tray, music, role play, puppets etc.

Adults can also access their creative side too if they wish :-), talking can be difficult.

My fees are £60.00 for a 50 minute session. if you wish to discuss please email or contact me by phone. If I am unable to take your call immediately leave a message or text and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Payment by cash or bank transfer.

I offer a FREE initial 20 minute phone consultation, please contact me by email or on 07878 306567 if you would like to arrange this.

If the sessions are for a child / young person, parental consent will be needed before sessions can begin. I suggest at least six sessions to establish a meaningful relationship with a child / young person.

I send out an assessment form to be completed in advance so that our first session isn't predominately paperwork.

Cancellation policy: 24 hour notice is required for a cancellation or full charge will apply.
