About me and my therapy practice
I am a professionally trained Psychosynthesis transpersonal counsellor and registered member of the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (MÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ). Psychosynthesis is a gentle yet potent depth therapy which brings to light aspects of the unconscious, supporting the client’s natural journey of personal growth by including body, mind, feelings and spirituality. It is an integrative talking therapy which means I will use a range of therapeutic and creative approaches to best suit you and your needs.
I am experienced in supporting individuals (adults and young people aged over 18) to overcome the stress and trauma which can arise from life’s challenges and hardships. Many people reach out for counselling to help manage transitions from one life stage to another, for help getting through difficult situations, for help with distressing states such as anxiety, frustration, confusion and hopelessness.
I can support you to talk through what is going on for you, in a safe and confidential space.
I can help you gently explore and root out possible causes of distress in your current situation and background.
I can help you to gain more understanding of your feelings and thoughts, to make new choices that serve you.
I work with couples, providing a safe, supportive space to talk through the things affecting your relationship. I can support you to practise ways to overcome these, and to communicate effectively so you can move forward in your relationship. I will give you both the opportunity to be heard and to hear each other, perhaps in a new way, so you can explore your issues and challenges. I will help you to understand how you are each impacting your relationship. I will support you to learn ways to manage conflicts and differences constructively, and develop more compassionate ways of relating. I will help you to reconnect with your strengths as a couple and build on those so your relationship can grow and be mutually enjoyable, or so you can separate amicably.

My first session
For individual therapy: The first step is for you to contact me by email or phone to arrange an initial assessment.
In the initial assessment you can tell me what brings you to counselling. You can see how comfortable you feel with me, and ask me any questions you may have about therapy. I will be asking more questions than I would usually in order to find out about you and what is affecting you.
By the end of this initial assessment, you may have a good sense of whether you want to work with me, or you might want some time to think it over. If we agree to work together, we will continue the therapy once a week, at the same time each week.
The initial assessment is 50 minutes (£70).
For couples therapy: The first step is for you to contact me by email or phone. We will have a brief chat to see what you are seeking from counselling. We will arrange an initial assessment session for as soon as possible.
In the initial assessment session you can see how comfortable you feel with me, as we begin to see what brings you to therapy. It’s important that you feel you can trust me and want to work with me.
If we agree to work together, we will continue the therapy once a week, at the same time each week. You may choose to commit to 6 sessions and see if that is enough for you. You may choose to start open-ended.
The initial assessment session is 60 minutes (£80).
