About me and my therapy practice
My primary aim as a counsellor is to listen: To listen wholeheartedly, actively, with my full attention, without critique or judgment. My intention is to hear all of what you are saying, to share and check my understanding with you, in order to be alongside you in whatever is troubling you. Rather than applying analysis and diagnoses from the outside, my endeavour is to work hand in hand with you to identify and explore what is troubling you and to find a way through and beyond your difficulties.
Practice description
My work is based on the belief that you know better than anyone else what is wrong and how to help yourself. I appreciate that at times it might not feel like this and we might need a little help to get back in touch with that internal sense of ourselves. By the end of our work together my hope is that you will understand yourself and be able to tune into what feels right for you: to work through any ongoing challenges and figure out solutions for yourself.
I enjoy working with a wide range of issues and have a particular interest in supporting clients wishing to explore issues in relation to gender, sexual and relationship diversity and neurodiversity.
I offer appointments face to face in a private setting in the centre of Norwich.
My fee is £50 for face-to-face counselling of sixty minutes.
My first session
I appreciate that the beginning of a new counselling relationship involves a whole host of feelings. Taking those first steps into the unknown can be really challenging. Knowing where to go and who to see can be a difficult and confusing decision to make.
The first session is a chance for us to meet each other, for you to say a little about what’s bringing you to counselling and what you want to gain from it. It’s also an opportunity to have a taste of what counselling is like without any obligation to go any further. We can also go over things such as confidentiality, how often we might meet and how long you might like the counselling to last.
The fee is £40 for an initial appointment which lasts up to 60 minutes.
