There could be all kinds of reasons you’re here.

Perhaps low mood, worry, or stress is feeling overwhelming. Maybe you keep finding yourself having the same problems in relationships. You might want to make a change, but don’t know where to start.

Or perhaps you’re finding it hard to be hopeful.

Counselling gives you a confidential space to explore whatever has been on your mind, without judgment.

When we work together, I’ll listen attentively, question gently, and offer challenge when it’s helpful. Together, we’ll find new ways to explore your ideas and feelings. 

Counselling is a process of discovering that it’s possible for things to be different for you, and that there are choices available to you that you may not have realised.

Counselling gives us new choices.

 

Although I draw on a number of different approaches to suit each person I work with, my core training is in Transactional Analysis (TA).

TA helps us to explore the ways that our life experiences and childhood still shape the decisions we make (and the limitations we put on ourselves). Seeing these things clearly gives us the opportunity to make different choices.

In our sessions, I might also suggest some creative ways to tune into how you’re feeling. This could be using picture cards, interesting objects, or a sand tray. Don’t worry though - it’s completely up to you what you try.

I’ll also regularly check in with you to see how you feel the therapy is going, so we can refocus our approach if needed.

Arrange a session

How it works

  • Fill out the contact form and I’ll get in touch with you as soon as possible (usually within 48 hours) to arrange a consultation session.

  • This initial session is different to a usual therapy appointment - we’ll have a wide-ranging conversation about what’s been on your mind, and we’ll explore what it might be like to work together.

    This session lasts 50 minutes and costs £25.

  • If we decide to work together, we’ll meet weekly or fortnightly. You might have a specific number of sessions in mind, or you might prefer to keep it open-ended. I’ll regularly check in with you about how you feel it’s going.

    Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £50.
