About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified psychotherapist with a sensitive, compassionate approach. I have supported clients to overcome a range of difficulties including generalised anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma and abuse.
Practice description
I offer a safe and compassionate space in which to explore difficult feelings. Emotional healing needs to be nurtured gently and with care. I like to build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients based on trust. From a base of trust and care we can explore more deeply the source of your difficulties and find a way forward.
Past experiences and early family relationships shape us and influence the way we relate to others, experience the world and negotiate life's challenges.
In therapy, we will explore:
- The way your past shapes your present (particularly early family dynamics)
- Your relationship patterns and attachment style
- The ways in which you might unconsciously undermine yourself
- The thoughts and actions which lie outside of your conscious control
- Destructive and repetitive patterns you might have which are beyond your conscious awareness
- The underlying cause of your symptoms (anxiety, depression)
My first session
Initial Call (15 minutes) I offer a free call-back for you to ask questions and better understand the type of counselling I offer.
Assessment (90 minutes) This is a more 'structured' and extended session in which I like to get an understanding of what brings you to therapy. We discuss your expectations of therapy and I ask some questions to get a sense of your personal history. It also gives us an opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together. (£90)
Weekly sessions (50 minutes) If you engage with counselling we agree on a weekly session time. (£70)
Concessions I offer low-cost fees for individuals on low incomes. Assessment cost £45, weekly sessions £35.
