I'm an experienced Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with 10 years of clinical practice in both charity and private sectors. My approach is person centred and psychoanalytically informed. The therapeutic process aims to increase your awareness of your internal world. This involves reflecting on the relationship between your earlier experiences and the difficulties that have brought you to seek help now. To achieve this it is important that we are able to consider past, sometimes painful, experiences. While this doesn't mean we have to talk about the past in every session, we do need to be able to think about it.

I work with people who’ve experienced difficulties managing relationships, emotional disturbance, mood fluctuation, navigating life changes, low self-esteem and a general sense of unease or discomfort with life. I have particular experience in working with trauma and with those who've experienced childhood abuse or have complex familial relationships.

How it works

If you'd like to enquire about working together, send me a message and include your availability over the next couple of weeks. I will get back to you within five working days to organise an initial consultation.

In the consultation I'll ask questions about you and your current and historical experiences. It is an opportunity for you to see whether therapy with me feels like the right option. If I conclude that I’m not the right therapist for you, where possible, I will make recommendations to support you in finding someone else.  If therapy with me, does feel like the right option, we can organise a regular time slot.

​My fees:

50 minute initial consultation: £60

50 minute weekly therapy appointment: £60

Payment is made by bank transfer on the day of booking and in advance of your next appointment.
