Helping You Make Sense Of Your World
Working with me
Before starting online or telephone counselling with me, I will offer an exploratory session to discuss whether this approach is suitable for you. It will give you a chance to ask any questions that may not have been covered here on my website, and it will give you the opportunity to get to know me and the style in which I work. The exploratory session aims to identify whether short-term work would be more appropriate in addressing your particular needs.
Counselling and Goal Setting
If you are looking for short-term solution-focused counselling, I will offer a minimum of 6 sessions. Goals will be set in the first session, and the work will be mainly directed towards how they can be achieved.
They can include overcoming how you may see yourself, a relationship within the home or at work. Some brief reflection may be given to past experiences and relationships, but only to provide some context to what the blocks may be to achieving your goal.
This work is specifically goal orientated and driven forward in collaboration between the therapist and the client.
Psychotherapy
I offer long-term psychotherapy for those individuals who may want to undertake a more in-depth exploration of how past experiences and patterns of relating may be having an impact on current relationships.
Accessing support can be helpful in gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves, how we may be relating to those around us, and/or in overcoming a current or past trauma.
In time, it can lead to more fulfilling internal and external relationships.
Supervision
I am an experienced and registered supervisor. I offer clinical supervision to individuals, teams and groups who are seeking to discuss and reflect on their clinical work.
My approach focuses on an integrative model to support your theoretical, ethical and clinical practice. I work with trainees and qualified practitioners. My experience draws from private practice and the NHS.

Helping You Achieve Success
What may have brought you here today?
There are times when we need a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to begin to explore and make sense of challenging life events and the emotional distress that we may be experiencing. These difficulties can lead to symptoms and behaviours such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks and self harm.
It is also at these difficult times we may begin to feel isolated, confused and unable to make sense of our unhelpful behaviours and emotional responses. It can also lead to the breakdown of important personal and professional relationships.
I offer a professional and confidential therapeutic space to enable us to begin to make sense of your experiences, and to help facilitate the changes that you may want to make. The key ingredients to help facilitate this work is one of trust and empathy which is developed during our work together.
My Fees
My fee for counselling, psychotherapy and supervision is £70.00 for a 50-minute session. I ask that payment is made at the end of each session via bank transfer.
There is no fee for an initial telephone consultation – up to 15 minutes.
Fees for training and workshops are available on request.
December’s Mental Health Tip
If you are facing many changes, try to stick to a routine. It can help provide a sense of purpose and achievement.
