How can I support you?

Working with me may enable you to see your situation more clearly and consider problems from a different point of view. This can help you to develop a better understanding of yourself and your relationships, addressing what is important to you and allowing you to find a way forward. This process can support you in taking different decisions and actions in order to overcome difficulties.

I bring extensive experience of talking therapy through years of working for both the NHS and in the private sector, both in-person and online. I aim to create a trustworthy relationship with you in which you can feel emotionally held during your most challenging moments.

Please get in touch by filling in the contact form or call me for a free, no obligation, 50-minute initial appointment. This meeting is an opportunity for us to consider your goals in counselling, determine if we would work well together and answer any questions you may have, with no requirement to progress.

Online therapy - £70 per 50 minutes for individuals, and £90 per 60 minutes for couples and families.

Sessions are normally at the same time and on the same day each week. However, this can be discussed according to your requirements.
