About me and my therapy practice

Hello, and a warm welcome. I believe that healing begins with compassion and understanding.

I am a warm, compassionate and approachable Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, dedicated to helping people heal from emotional and psychological pain and suffering.

Whatever has brought you to therapy, I want to help you make sense of your experiences, reduce emotional distress, and make positive changes or personal growth.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. Whether you're overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, carrying the impact of past experiences, or facing relationship difficulties, you don't have to face it alone.

Life is a journey with many seasons, each bringing its own ups and downs, expected and unexpected changes, and unique transitions. It can help to have someone alongside you as you navigate them.

It would be a privilege to walk alongside you for part of your journey.

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them." – Maya Angelou

"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful parts of us." – David Richo

I bring over 15 years of professional experience working with individuals, families and adults across Local Authority services, the NHS, CAMHS, charitable organisations, and project management involving consultancy, training and direct support. Over the past 5 years, I have worked as a qualified therapist, supporting adults, families and professionals with trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, loss, cultural issues and life transitions.

I have a particular interest in working with adults affected by difficult childhood experiences and supporting parents who wish to strengthen relationships with their children and break patterns of generational trauma.

I look forward to meeting you.

Practice description

Explore. Understand. Change.

These three words sit at the heart of the way I work.

I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy for adults and couples. I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Each person is unique, so I tailor the way I work to your individual needs, experiences and goals.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, humanistic, CBT-informed and relational ways of working. My approach is trauma-informed, which means I am mindful of how past experiences may continue to shape how you feel, think and relate in the present.

My work is relational and holistic. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions and experiences with curiosity and compassion, rather than criticism or self-blame.

My hope is that through our work together, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your situation, feel more empowered, and develop the confidence and practical tools to make the changes that are important to you. 

Along the way, we'll work towards building emotional resilience, strengthening your relationships, and creating meaningful and lasting change that continues beyond the therapy room.

Alongside individual therapy, I work with couples who wish to improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen their emotional connection, or navigate periods of conflict and change. 

Couples sessions are 75 minutes, allowing both partners the time and space to feel heard and understood.

My first session

My First Session

I understand that starting therapy can feel both hopeful and daunting, so I aim to make the process as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

Before your first session, I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation. This gives you the opportunity to ask any questions about counselling, discuss what has brought you to therapy, and explore whether we feel like the right fit to work together.

If you decide to proceed, we will arrange an initial online assessment session. For individuals, this lasts 90 minutes and is charged at a flat rate of £110, regardless of the time of day. For couples, the assessment is conducted over two 75-minute sessions, with a total flat fee of £250, regardless of time of day.

The first session is an opportunity for us to begin getting to know one another. We will explore what has brought you to therapy, your current situation, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we will work at a pace that feels right for you.

Together, we will also consider how we might work together going forward and whether short-term or longer-term therapy would best support your needs.

My aim is to offer a calm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel heard, respected and understood from the very beginning.
