You will experience me as a very down to earth, caring person who has lived life and who understands life's struggles  

My private practice is located within the serene Ransom Wood Park, which is set in acres of woodland on the outskirts of Mansfield. There is plenty of free parking and a café restaurant on site. My practice is a haven for those looking for tranquillity and respite.

Whether it be for individual sessions or couples, my first appointment is always an initial assessment session. This gives you the opportunity to meet me. see and hear about how and where I work. You wont need to worry about what to say, as I understand that can be quite daunting. I will ask you for information about yourself/yourselves and invite you to tell me what brought you here. You can decide after that session whether you wish to work with me or not. There is no obligation.

For Couples therapy, my fee is £70 per 60 minute session.

For all clients, individuals, or couples, the initial session lays the foundation of our therapeutic relationship. It’s important to me that you leave this first meeting feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the journey ahead.

You’ll find that my approach is personable and down-to-earth. I don’t just hear you; I truly listen, aiming to understand not just the words you say but the feelings and experiences behind them. It is my commitment to you to create an environment where you feel valued and validated.

As you take this step forward, remember that counselling is a process, and it starts with a single, supportive conversation. In this space, every emotion is welcome, and every story matters.

As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer comprehensive support and understanding to individuals and couples alike. At the heart of my practice is a compassionate, confidential environment where your innermost thoughts and emotions can be expressed and explored in a safe and confidential space.

My expertise lies in offering a non-judgmental ear and imparting new insights into your experiences, fostering understanding and personal growth.

During times of change, both in our own lives and in the wider world, stress can mount, influencing our personal wellbeing and the harmony in our relationships. The strain of financial concerns is a common burden, often manifesting as anxiety, low mood, or discord between partners. As a warm, approachable counsellor, I provide a welcoming space to help individuals and couples navigate these and other challenges, fostering resilience and a path forward together.

Beginning counselling can often feel like a significant step on your journey to wellbeing, whether you’re taking this path as an individual or alongside your partner. It’s completely normal to have questions about what this initial session will involve. I want to assure you that my primary goal is to make you feel welcomed, reassured, and comfortable from the moment you reach out.

For the Individual: A Personalised Welcome

As an individual entering counselling, your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. This is a time for you to share, in your own words and at your own pace, what brings you to counselling. My role is to listen attentively, without judgement, and to provide a warm, supportive space where you can feel secure in expressing your thoughts and emotions.

We’ll talk about what you hope to achieve through counselling, and I’ll explain how we can work together to address your concerns. It’s also the perfect time for you to ask any questions you may have about the counselling process. Together, we will outline a preliminary plan that honours your individual needs and goals.

For Couples: A Joint Journey of Discovery

When counselling couples, the first session is designed to nurture a sense of mutual understanding and cooperation. Both partners will have the chance to voice their perspectives, hopes, and apprehensions. It’s important that each of you feels heard and that the counselling room becomes a neutral ground where you both can speak freely and honestly.

We will explore the strengths of your partnership and the challenges you face, with the aim of identifying patterns that may be contributing to difficulties. I will guide you through this process with empathy and support, helping to foster open communication between you and your partner.

I have face-to-face and online availability during the week on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 11:00am - 7:00pm. 

In addition to my practice, I also offer supervision. As a placement supervisor, I provide a compassionate space, either online or in person. My own practice has grown through meaningful connections with supervisees, whether they’re just beginning or have years of experience behind them. My approach to supervision is to put you at the centre, adapting to what you need, because one size doesn't fit all. If you're considering supervision and wondering if we'd be a good fit, let’s start with a chat. I’m here to answer your questions or to arrange a no-pressure introductory session.

My private practice is located within the serene Ransom Wood Park, which is set in acres of woodland on the outskirts of Mansfield. You will find free parking and a beautiful restaurant open to the public where you can have a coffee or a meal. On nice days you can dine outside and watch the wildlife. Or you can take a walk in the tranquil and quiet pathways around the woods.

As you continue to nurture your own counselling practice, whether newly qualified or with a wealth of experience, having the right supervision is essential. It’s more than a professional requirement—it's a valuable space for growth, learning, and reflection.

I offer comprehensive clinical supervision that extends beyond traditional settings, embracing the flexibility of online and telephone methods. This adaptability ensures that, no matter where your practice or life might take you, consistent supervisory support is always within reach.

Within the supervisory relationship, my focus is on providing you with a compassionate and supportive environment. I recognise that every supervisee brings unique experiences and requirements to their practice. That's why I ensure that my approach is as individual as you are, centring on your personal and professional development needs.

My own journey as a practitioner has been enriched by the diverse and insightful relationships I’ve built with my supervisees. I understand the transformative power of a supervision dynamic that is founded on mutual respect, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to the ethical practice of counselling.

Whether you are in the early stages of building your client base, adapting to the nuances of online counselling, or seeking fresh perspectives on complex cases, I offer a holistic approach to supervision. I aim to empower you to not only address the challenges of your caseload but also to celebrate your successes and milestones.
