 My work is about creating a confidential, safe and a nurturing space for individuals and couples to explore their experiences and improve their lives and relationships.

I am a fully qualified, registered and accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and a member of Íø±¬ÃÅ (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches - Psychodynamic, Integrative, Person-Centred, EMDR. Although modalities and interventions are important, I will always put our relationship at the heart of the therapeutic work.

My aim as a psychotherapist is aiding you to become a fully functioning person who has more control over what they do and is not driven by unresolved unconscious past events. I will be asking you questions about your past experience and early years. I do that so I can understand your current behaviour in relation to your past and therefore can help you make the links.

I have personally experienced the feeling of displacement and loss, and I can ‘hear’ it in my clients. As a therapist I understand the feeling of being misplaced and scared, I empathise with my clients when they describe the fear of uncertainty, and I am able to support them when the strength and hope is needed. Throughout my training, I made some personal discoveries that have an impact on how I work with my clients. I feel privileged and grateful that people come to me and feel comfortable to share their feelings and struggles.

Because choosing the right therapist may feel as a daunting task, I offer a free 30-minute online (via Zoom) or telephone consultation. We can then meet each other and discuss what expectations you might have from counselling. 

Individual adult sessions are 50 minutes long and cost £60 per session. 

Couples counselling sessions are 60 minutes long and cost £80 per session. 

The supervision I provide is a two-way interactive process where both parties can learn and grow together. I believe that effective supervision is collaborative in style and its most important task is to banish fear - in particular fear of being shamed, fear of getting it wrong and fear of being vulnerable.  Whether you are in counselling training, an established practitioner or newly qualified, supervision is an integral part of your counselling journey. 

The model that is integrated into my theoretical approach is Seven-Eyed model by Hawkins and Shohet.

I offer in person supervision sessions in central Taunton or remotely via video or telephone. 

The initial meeting is free and it will allow us to explore whether we can work together. 

Qualified therapists - £65 per 90 minutes session
