About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I am a fully qualified counsellor & psychotherapist with a sensitive and respectful approach. I offer a compassionate space to explore complicated and painful feelings and help you find a way forward.
Practice description
I like to build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients based on trust and understanding. No two people have the same experience. I help clients to name and formulate feelings and link cognitive life with emotions.
Past experiences and early family relationships shape us and influence the way we relate to others, experience the world and negotiate life's challenges.
In therapy, we will explore:
- The way your past impacts your present (particularly in the form of early family dynamics)
- Your relationship patterns and attachment style
- Thoughts and behaviours which lie outside your conscious control
- Repetitive patterns in the way you think and feel
- The underlying cause of your symptoms
My first session
Initial Call (15 minutes) I offer a free call-back to discuss your counselling needs with you and give you the chance to ask questions.
Assessment (90 minutes) This is a 'structured' and extended session to understand what brings you to therapy. We discuss your expectations and I gain insight into your personal history. It gives us the opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together. (£90)
Weekly sessions (50 minutes) We agree a fixed session time each week. (£70)
Concessions I offer low-cost fees for individuals on low incomes. Assessment cost £50, weekly sessions £35.
