I work variable hours Monday to Friday, 10am to 6.30pm, excluding bank holidays. I offer online appointments throughout my working day and in-person appointments from 4pm to 6:30pm.

As an experienced Person-centred counsellor, my approach is relational and empathic, based on Person-centred humanistic theory, although I sometimes incorporate other ways of working into my practice. I believe fundamentally in offering a space which feels welcoming, accepting, supportive and non-judgemental whilst you consider your thoughts and feelings around whatever brings you to counselling.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and so am bound by their code of ethics. To support my ethical practice, I maintain my skills and knowledge by taking additional training and engaging in regular continuing professional development, and I have regular clinical supervision.

I appreciate that it can be difficult to decide whether someone may be the right counsellor for you based on what is written here, especially when you may be feeling vulnerable, so I welcome you to contact me to discuss how I work and whether I may be the right counsellor for you. 

I offer a free 15-minute online session, which will enable us to discuss how I work and for me to find out a little bit more about you and what you might want or need from counselling.

I offer 50-minute counselling sessions; usually held on a weekly basis, but I can work to other schedules if preferred. Our work can be open-ended, short-term or long-term work.

Sessions can be held online via Doxy or Zoom, in person, or we can discuss a blended approach.

Once we have booked the first session, I will send you a counselling agreement which outlines how I work and what I can offer. I will also send you a questionnaire so that you can give me some background around what brings you to counselling and what you may want from the work, including any concerns you may have around coming for counselling. This gives me an opportunity to understand a bit more about you. 

When we meet for our first session, we will discuss the content of questionnaire and this will give us an opportunity to discuss in more depth how we might work together to meet your needs and any objectives you might have for counselling. At the end of the session, there is no obligation to book further sessions, but if you wish to continue, we can book another session.  

I am an experienced counsellor, qualified clinical supervisor and registered member of the BACP, offering supervision to trainee and qualified counsellors via either Doxy or Zoom online platforms. 

My supervision practise is underpinned by my Person-centred approach, but I aim to offer a supervisory relationship which is supportive of you and your practice, whilst also being gently challenging where needed. I strongly believe that supervision is more than just discussing client work, but instead, it incorporates your wellbeing as a practitioner, discussing any struggles or challenges you may be having, alongside what may be going on in the work with your client, or how you might develop your practice. I offer an 'all aspects approach' via the 7-eyed model, to oversee safe and ethical practice, whilst also incorporating an anti-oppressive approach.

I have been a course tutor on CPCAB courses (levels 2-4) for the past 10 years, so I have an in-depth understanding of what counselling training requires and so if you are a trainee counsellor, I am happy to also support you in a supervisory capacity for your training and to complete any relevant supervision reports etc that may be required by your training provider. 

Free initial session: 

I offer a free 15-minute online session to discuss how we might work together and whether I may be the right supervisor for you.

Supervision for individuals:

I work with trainees and qualified counsellors, working either in an agency setting or private practice. Sessions are offered at the following rates:

45 minutes - £45 (usually fortnightly)*

1 hour (60 mins) - £60

1.5 hours - £90 

(*Please note: Supervisees must ensure that they have sufficient supervision to meet the requirements of their membership body and/or training course).

Group supervision sessions:

I have experience of facilitating group supervision sessions and can offer group supervision for up to 4 people. Please get in touch to discuss group supervision rates to meet your needs. 

My supervision work is currently all held online, via either Doxy or Zoom platforms. I work variable hours, but can offer sessions Monday to Friday between 10am and 6:30pm. I don't work during weekends and bank holidays. 

I offer a free 15 minute online session, as an opportunity to discuss what you may want and need from supervision, my approach and whether I may be the right supervisor for you. 

Once our first session is booked, I will send out a supervision agreement/contract to you. 

During our first session, we can discuss how we might work together, any previous experience of supervision you may have had and how this was for you. Our first session will give me an opportunity to get to know a bit more about you and your practice and for you to ask any questions. You can then decide whether you wish to continue working with me and to book any further sessions if you wish to.
