I am currently available to see new clients.

My private counselling practice, based in Saffron Walden, Essex, is here to help individuals ​facing difficulties around loss (in all its forms), depression, anxiety and dysfunctional behaviour.

These are things that many of us experience at some stage, often affecting our physical and mental health – and ultimately the quality of our lives. And that’s where I believe counselling makes a positive difference.

It can enable people to find a better quality of life for themselves.

Helpful counselling depends to a large extent on the relationship between counsellor and client, so it’s important to find the right counsellor for you. Easier said than done perhaps!

There are many different approaches – each with benefits and limitations – so it’s worthwhile considering which works for you.

To keep it simple, I describe my approach as Person Centred and I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where appropriate for the client. My approach may appeal more to those looking for ways to understand and manage their current levels of distress or anxiety rather than explore the unconscious causes.

Typically I suggest working with clients for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 12 sessions - each session being 60 minutes. But it's important to stress that the number and frequency of sessions is always discussed and agreed between myself and the client.

Sessions are held either face-to-face in my private consulting room or on-line (ZOOM)

My fee is £60.00 per session.

I offer an initial introductory session (in-person or on-line) where clients have the opportunity to meet me and talk a little about what brings them to therapy and any goals that they might be considering. They can see the consulting room where we would meet or get a sense of the ZOOM platform if the online option is preferable. This is also an opportunity to explain both my approach to counselling and the Counselling Agreement that clarifies the responsibilties of both counsellor and client. And importantly, it is an opportunity for the client to ask any questions they have to help decide if they would like to start therapy.

The introductory session is typically between 45 - 60 minutes and is free-of-charge.
