About me and my therapy practice
About Me
My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own time in counselling. Through that process, I came to recognise, understand, and accept the grief and trauma in my own life. It was a powerful, sometimes painful experience but it changed me in ways I never thought possible. Having a safe space to be heard without judgement was life-changing, and it inspired me to train as a therapist so I could offer that same opportunity to others. Fifteen years later, I remain passionate about supporting people to find greater self-understanding, acceptance, and freedom in their own lives.
How I Work
I am a qualified practitioner specialising in Person-Centred Counselling, with additional training in CBT and trauma-informed approaches. I work integratively, because therapy is never 鈥渙ne size fits all.鈥
Each session lasts 50 minutes and I always allow time between appointments to pause, reflect, and ensure that I can be fully present for each client.
Sessions are offered on a weekly basis, providing consistency and continuity for clients in their therapeutic process.
Practice description
Taking the First Step
I know how much courage it can take to begin counselling. Many people reach out when they feel lost, lonely, or isolated; when depression or anxiety has become overwhelming; or when something painful has happened that leaves them questioning themselves, their relationships, or even the world around them. It might feel as though the ground has shifted beneath you, or that the way you鈥檝e always understood yourself no longer fits. Making that first contact is a brave and hopeful step and I want to acknowledge that. Whatever has brought you here, you do not have to face it alone.
I don鈥檛 see myself as the expert on your life, you are. My role is not to tell you what you should do, but to walk alongside you with empathy and understanding. Together, we can explore what feels important, at your pace, whether that鈥檚 grief, trauma, or lived experiences that continue to affect you and begin to recognise the self-limiting beliefs or conditioned behaviours that may be holding you back. Therapy can create space to look at things differently, to understand yourself with greater compassion, and to challenge the patterns that no longer serve you. In doing so, you can discover new ways of coping, relating, and begin to reconnect with your own strength and move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
What You Can Expect:
Counselling with me offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Therapy can be short-term or longer-term, sometimes it helps for a reason, sometimes for a season, and sometimes for a lifetime. However you choose to use it, my aim is always the same: to help you connect with the best version of yourself and move forward with greater clarity, acceptance, and hope.
My first session
I offer first sessions at a reduced rate of 拢50, as I believe this initial meeting is an important opportunity for you to get a genuine sense of how it feels to be in my practice space and to see whether you feel comfortable with me as a therapist. Therapy is such a personal and individual journey, and finding the right person to share that with is crucial. There is never any problem if, after the first session, you feel I may not be the right fit for you , what matters most is that you find a therapist with whom you can build a safe, trusting connection.
In our first session, I will invite you to talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. I do not ask clients to complete formal assessments as this does not align with the ethos of person-centred therapy, where the focus is on you as an individual rather than a set of symptoms or scores. However, if your presenting concern would benefit from a more structured or CBT-informed approach, and measurable outcomes might be helpful, I may suggest a brief initial assessment. This would always be discussed with you first to ensure you feel comfortable and in agreement with the process.
My aim in this first meeting is to create a calm, welcoming environment where you can begin to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, without pressure or expectation.
