Please note I am currently out of the office on annual leave until 6th January 2025. 

I work from a practice room in Central Cheltenham on Mondays, Tuesdays (daytime and evening) and Wednesdays and Thursdays (daytime and evening). 

Sessions are £25 for a 50 minute introductory/assessment session

Then sessions are:

£50 for a 50 minute counselling session

or £40 for a 50 minute CBT session

I am a qualified accredited Counsellor working in Cheltenham.

I provide Face-to-Face counselling from a calm and relaxing space in Central Cheltenham or online counselling, to suit your needs.

It is not easy to make the decision to come to counselling and it takes courage to seek the help that you feel you might need.

There are many reasons that someone might seek out counselling:

Perhaps you are feeling stuck, finding it hard to make a change? Maybe you are feeling anxious, depressed or in a low mood that feels hard to shift? Perhaps there is something in your past which is having an impact on how you feel now in your life?

Whatever your reasons for choosing therapy, I am able to offer a confidential, warm, safe space in which to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is important that you feel safe and supported and that we can create a secure relationship where you feel safe to acknowledge your true feelings and understand more about yourself.

It can be very powerful to be truly heard and accepted for who you really are, without judgement.

I work with a variety of clients aged 18 or over, including those with anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Since 2017 I worked for six years as a counsellor for a charity in Gloucestershire working with a range of clients including those in a caring role and those who have suffered trauma.

I have a CPCAB L4 Diploma (2018) in Therapeutic Counselling (person-centred and psychodynamic) and am trained to work integratively.  I will put you and your needs at the centre of the work.  We will go at your pace and look at what you want to bring and explore at the sessions.

I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy (Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ) and abide by their code of ethics.

I am currently adding to my skills by training for the CPCAB L5 Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This means I can also offer CBT sessions at a discounted rate whilst I am in training. CBT works by looking at your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours and the interplay between them. It involves techniques which are learned and practiced and is a more structured approach. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends CBT for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks and much more. If that is an approach which you would be interested in, then we can talk about this at assessment and see if it could be helpful.

Initially I offer a 50 minute introductory/assessment session for £25.  This is an opportunity for us to meet, for you to discuss what you are hoping to gain from counselling and it will give you an idea of whether you feel that I am the right therapist for you. We can go over the contract and you can ask any questions you may have.  At the end of the session, we can discuss moving forward with the counselling.  Counselling Sessions are £50 for a 50 minute session and CBT sessions are £40 for a 50 minute session.

I can offer Face-to-Face counselling in Cheltenham or Online counselling.
