I work flexible hours, so please get in touch if you are interested in a particular slot that would suit your schedule. 

I currently have slots available on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday daytime in person/online or Wednesday evenings online. 

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (Íø±¬ÃÅ) working towards an MSc from the Metanoia Institute in London.

I provide one-to-one weekly therapy for adults, on either a short term or ongoing basis. I have experience working with a range of psychological and emotional difficulties including depression, anxiety, family/relationships, sexuality, identity and loss.

I have over 10 years experience working within mental health and community support settings. I also have a background in theatre/ performance and creative practice. I have specialised experience working with childhood trauma, sexuality, LGBTQ+ identities and neurodiversity.

I am interested in your unique experience. You may be feeling stuck, lost or overwhelmed. You may recognise repeating patterns that you are struggling to break out of. You may be grappling with a painful event or change in your current situation that you feel you need space to explore and work through.

I offer a safe, open, non-judgemental and confidential environment in which you will feel supported to explore what is concerning you.

Central to my approach is working collaboratively with you as a whole person to raise awareness of your experience in the present moment as a method of understanding how you relate to yourself and others. This may involve exploration of your past, but only so far that you feel it is relevant in your current life.

I will work with you towards greater self-acceptance and self-understanding. A space to creatively express, play and experiment to support you to authentically navigate life’s ups and downs and find the freedom to choose the life you want to live.

I offer a free 15-20 minute phone or online consultation. This is an opportunity for you to share what brings you to seek counselling now and for us to see if we work well together. There will be the chance to ask any questions you might have about how counselling would work with me or practicalities. 

If we decide we work well together and feels like a good fit, we can decide on a first session day and time, or you can take some time to think it over. 

Our first session will be flexible to your needs; we may expand on what has brought you to counselling now and discuss your hopes and expectations. We might take some time to explore your background, or focus on what your experiences are in your current life. There will be space for you to ask questions and to talk about what it is like for you to be starting counselling. 

We will also cover practical elements such as confidentiality, payment details and cancellations etc. in this first session. 

I offer first sessions at a discounted rate of £35.
