Daytime and evening availability.

I charge from £45 to £65 per session. I would not want cost to limit access to therapy. Please contact me directly and I am happy to discuss my sliding scale.

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor. I offer therapy in a supportive environment to encourage exploration and understanding of your personal issues.

I work using a psychodynamic approach. This means I look at your patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that are often not obvious. I work in the present but also think about your childhood and personal background.

I am based in Norwich (NR7), Norfolk. I work both in person and online

I can provide counselling for a wide range of issues. A typical session will be spent talking about what is going on in your life. I see my job as therapist to help us think about what is happening and to help you understand why. I am trained in a psychodynamic approach. This means I look at your patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. I work in the present but also think about your past. I know starting therapy can be daunting and I hope to make it a useful and rewarding experience for you.

I think of counselling as being focused on a particular issue or problem. This is usually for a short term, fixed number of weeks. Psychotherapy has no specific focus and is open ended in duration. It can be a more intense, deeper experience that takes time but can be more rewarding. I have a background in the NHS and in charities. This has given me a variety of experience working with a wide range of people with many different issues.

Our first session will be about getting to know each other. We will discuss important matters such as confidentiality and the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ code of ethics that I work within. I will provide a written agreement, it sounds formal but it will let you know about all the practical matters that are important. For counselling to work we have to build a relationship of trust. This can take time, but during the process you will be listened to and I will provide insight into what is happening.

Sadly there is no magic fix, I can't prescribe pills or potions or tell you what to do. Instead we will sit together in comfortable chairs and you will do most of the talking. I do the listening and then reflect back and interpret what I have heard. I believe this will allow you to understand your past and make informed decisions about your future life.
