I am accepting new clients. Please email me for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you. 

Who supports you? 

We live busy, stressful lives.  It can feel overwhelming: yet sometimes we can't work out why. Maybe it doesn't make sense?

I offer a safe space & counselling / psychotherapy to help you to navigate life’s challenges. I will support you to find yourself amongst all the demands and responsibilities of life.

I work from a psychodynamic basis, which means that we will explore your life experiences to gain understanding of how you came to be who you are, how you are & where you are in life.  

We will also identify behaviour patterns that may no longer be helpful to you, work out where they come from & then alter them to help get you unstuck. 

I tailor my approach to best meet your particular needs & I draw on a number of modalities. 

 I provide support, gentle challenge & a judgement free, safe space in which to talk. The first time we meet will be what’s called an assessment & this is as much for you as it is for me. It is the opportunity for you to decide whether I am the right counsellor for you. 

Working with me will be more of deep-tissue sports massage experience, than a nice-to-have aromatherapy rub.  

I have invested significant time in my own therapy & personal development.  I know what it is like to be the client. 

This helps me to work at emotional depth with you safely & to keep us both emotionally safe. 

I work with 2 different supervisors to quality assure my work. 

I am fully committed to my professional development & regularly undertake additional training, updating & refreshing my skills. 

If you think I may be the right therapist for you, please reach out with any queries / start a conversation. I am happy to answer any questions. 

All humans are welcome here. Whatever you need to discuss is up for discussion. If for any reason I think I am not the best person to help you: we will discuss this & I can make recommendations for referral. 

I have significant experience working with neurodiversity. 

I have personal & professional experience in this area & have also undertaken specific training. 

I deliver talk therapy for specialist ND organisation Problem Shared (https://www.problemshared.net/ ).

Other specialisms include all areas of abuse: 

Narcissistic / Coercive control / Domestic / Financial / Interpersonal dynamics / issues / abuse / Sexual abuse

Trauma including developmental trauma & emotional neglect. 

I offer safety, curiosity, calm & confidence.  

Bring all of you. Every part is welcome. 

There is nothing we cannot explore together. 

Continuing my education is vitally important to me. 

I update my knowledge regularly. 

If  you are committed to real change but unsure where to start: reach out with a no-obligation enquiry. 

I offer a free 20 minute video-call where you can ask any questions or just get a feel for if you think you would like to work with me. 

If you book an assessment, you are still not bound to choose me as your therapist. I suggest you take time to think & reflect before we contract to work together. Shop around: see which therapist feels like the best fit for you. 

Boundaries are key to the work that I do, so therefore we agree a set day / time each week for your sessions (as far as is possible). 

Sessions are 50mins (longer sessions available on an individual basis, by request & will be negotiated ahead of time). 

The first session is termed an 'assessment' and is for us to get to know one another. 

It is as much for you to work out if I am the right person for you as it is for me to work out if we are a good fit & if I am able to offer you what you need. 

It is generally a little longer than the usual 50 minutes so that I can gather all the information needed.  The cost is the same rate as a therapy session.
