I get it. You’re ready for change but overwhelm, uncertainty and that constant quiet voice that tells you ‘I’m not good enough’ are making it difficult to know where to start.
Maybe you’ve been labeled as over sensitive, anxious or an over thinker.
Do you feel like you've gotten so good at people pleasing that you’re not sure what makes you truly happy anymore?
If you’re fed up of feeling like you’re always just about managing things and you’re ready to take back control of your life, therapy could help.
You don't have to figure it all out on your own.
As an Accredited Integrative Counsellor, I am trained in a range of therapeutic modalities, which enables me to adapt my approach to create a style that works for you and your hopes for counselling.
These modalities include, but are not limited, to Person Centred, Gestalt, CBT, Creative techniques, Inner child work.
My work is Neurodiversity affirming and I will create a supportive and empowering environment that works for you.
Get started
We'll take a 'zoomed out' approach. You are a person, not a diagnosis or list of symptoms. You have experienced a whole lifetime worth of things that may be contributing to where you are now. Together, we'll make sense of everything and find a path forward.
My approach is informed by approaches proven to support people towards lasting change. You’ll leave counselling with the knowledge to understand yourself and those around you, helping you to move forward and take on whatever may come your way.
I love it when my clients get to the stage where they start to tell me what they think I’ll say next!
I will be your biggest cheerleader. Together, we will celebrate your wins. Trust me, there will be plenty!
Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical to be effective! Here, you can be honest and completely yourself with someone who truly gets it. At your pace, you can take back control and build a life that finally feels like yours.
Session fee is £65 per hour. I ask that this is payed up to 48hrs before your scheduled session time as this confirms your appointment.
An intro call is a 20 minute free, no obligation chat. We’ll schedule it for a time when you can be in a quiet, confidential place. The call is a chance for us to see if we're a good fit.
We’ll chat about:
- You and your reasons for starting therapy.
- Your hopes and goals.
- What day to day looks like for you currently.
- Any previous therapy and what you liked or didn’t like about those approaches.
- You’ll have plenty of time to ask any questions.
If we feel like this might be a good fit, we’ll then schedule the initial session.
The benefit of private counselling is that you can choose how long we work together and how frequently you have sessions: weekly or fortnightly. We’ll have regular check-ins to talk about how you feel therapy is progressing and if there is anything you’d like to change or focus on. When the time feels right, I’ll support you in your decision to pause and we’ll close the work with a celebration of all that you have achieved. If ever ‘life happens’ and you feel that you could do with some extra sessions in the future, that’s normal and you’re always welcome back.
I share a copy of my privacy and safeguarding policy with all new clients. New clients are also sent a counselling agreement which outlines confidentiality, note taking and all other practical aspects. I ask that this is reviewed before our intro session so that you have a chance to raise any queries with me.
