About me and my therapy practice

I am an accredited psychodynamic counsellor and work with adults on an individual basis. I work face-to-face in Saffron Walden and Haverhill and can offer remote sessions nationally. I have extensive experience providing counselling for a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, stress, workplace challenges, and bereavement. Additionally, I specialise in supporting individuals struggling with addiction and trauma, with particular expertise in addressing the effects of domestic abuse and sexual trauma.

I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of counselling and with this we can work together in an accepting environment that fosters trust and healing. Although psychodynamic principles underpin my practice, which considers how past experiences can shape our present thoughts, behaviours, and relationships, I work in a client-led, non-directive way, meaning I do not offer solutions or advice. Instead, I aim to create an open, non-judgemental space where the client can reflect, gain insight and find their own path forward.

Practice description

I work both face to face and remotely via telephone or video call. If you decide to have remote counselling, you will need to have a confidential space in order to take the sessions. Face to face sessions will take place in a quiet, confidential counselling room. 

Sessions will be in the same place at the same time every week for 50 minutes until you decide you are ready to end. I am able to work to a short term model if you have specific issues you wish to target, or the work can be open-ended if this is what you feel would benefit you most. 

I am committed to working in line with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ's ethical guidelines, ensuring that I offer a safe, confidential, and respectful environment for all my clients. 

My first session

Upon referral, I will arrange a brief telephone call in order to discuss what you are seeking counselling for and to help us to determine whether I am able to help you or not. I will then invite you to an initial session where we can meet each other and you can decide whether I am the right counsellor for you. This will be charged at my standard rate.
