About me and my therapy practice

Counselling is all about you rather than me; however, our relationship is central to you enabling your therapy goals, so it is important that you have some information to guide your thoughts.

I offer a warm, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings safely, bring awareness, and help you achieve whatever change you are looking for. It may be that you have recently experienced a loss or change in your life. You may feel lost, stuck, anxious, depressed, feel you've lost part of yourself, or are worried about the future. Or maybe something from your past is affecting you now, and you don't know how to cope or move forward.

Our relationship may help you through these changes, find a stronger sense of self and help you deal with your future more confidently. This may mean we talk about your childhood to see how that may affect your thought processes now, or it may be that we explore your current relationships or talk about how you feel in the here and the now and consider what tools and resources may help you currently. We can discuss what will be most beneficial to you and tailor your therapy appropriately. I’m also a Hypnotherapist and EMDR therapist and can weave this into your counselling where appropriate.

I have over 20 years of experience in helping develop and encourage people's potential and have undertaken extensive training to support my counselling practice, having worked both in charity settings and private practice. I personally understand how difficult life can sometimes be and how we can't always cope on our own and need additional support. Sometimes feelings can be overwhelming, and you can’t share them with those around us. Our relationship aims to give you that support, even if that is support you have never experienced

Life is a journey, and sometimes it’s easier when someone walks that journey with you. If you are ready to take that step, I would like to support and empower you.

I look forward to meeting you!

Practice description

My practice is available either face-to-face at my rooms in Southampton or online or via phone where this is not practicable or desired.

My aim is always for my online practice room to be confidential, safe, secure, and free from interruptions and distractions.  I treat our online or phone counselling space with the same respect as if we were meeting face-to-face.

I work with clients with various concerns, including grief and bereavement, relationship issues, adverse childhood experiences, depression, anxiety, career challenges, and ASD. I also work with those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. 

My first session

I offer a free 15-minute telephone call to introduce us to each other and to allow you to consider whether you wish to book your first session.

Your first session is an opportunity for you to tell me more about yourself, what you want to bring to counselling and what you think is influencing the way you feel now.

I will ask you for some background information, which will involve details of your past, including your childhood,  and about your life in general now. 

Importantly this is also an opportunity for you to meet me properly, as it's from here that we form our therapeutic relationship. You are welcome to ask any questions, and we can discuss what you value in a relationship. The aim is for you to decide whether the way I work is right for you and for you to consider how you would like your counselling to evolve.
