I work Mondays 1pm to 6.30pm, Tuesdays 9.30am to 3.30pm, Wednesdays & Thursdays 10am to 4pm.

I currently offer sessions in person, on-line (Whatsapp or MS Teams) or by phone

At the heart of my work is self-compassion; learning to use this inner resource more, so that we can really begin to see our experiences through a softer lens.

So, as a psycho-spiritual counsellor, I see my role as one of supporting and encouraging you to understand your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours in a more compassionate way. If it feels right, some of the work may include meditations, breathwork, guided visualisations, imagery, movement or creative expression.

​Working with a psycho-spiritual model does not mean religious. Instead, it means working with not just the mind but also with your body (which holds alot of our experiences at a somatic level) and also with the soul (the spiritual). Working with all 3 aspects means we work in a more holistic way.

I appreciate that counselling can feel daunting so to help ease any concerns I offer a warm, friendly welcome and a safe and confidential place where I will listen and support you.  I recognise that it can take time to trust someone with your thoughts and feelings so you choose what to discuss and when.

I feel passionate about my work: helping others to help themselves, investing in themselves and their own futures.  I believe that we all have that innate drive to become who we were meant to be and that we have the inner resources needed to get there, but we often lose sight of this through life's experiences and social conditioning. Working with a counsellor can help you re-discover your true self, helping you grow as a person and to feel more empowered.

What happens now?

I offer a FREE 20 minutes phone call to see if we might be well suited to work together.  If you would like to book an appointment or a free 20 minutes phone call, please email me.

My practice is in a lovely welcoming purpose built cabin in my back garden in the centre of Chippenham.   There are a few steps up the garden as it is slightly tiered.  Free parking is available in and around the street.

I am fully insured, DBS checked and emergency first aid trained.

I offer a FREE 20 minute phone call where you can tell me briefly what is bringing you to counselling and what you might hope to get from it.  From there I can assess whether I might be the right therapist for you and if so, we can move ahead and book the first session in.  If it seems another therapist would be a better match for you, then I would be happy to support you in offering suitable referrals.

In the first session, we will be filling out some paperwork, getting a chance to meet each other and address practicalities such as preferred frequency of sessions/days/times etc.  Then the rest of the session will enable us to start our work together.

At the end of the session there is no obligation for you to return if you do not wish to; I appreciate that many people like to meet with several therapists before settling on the one they feel is right for them.

However, if you would like to continue working with me we can go on to book a second session together.
