About me and my therapy practice
Finding the right counsellor is really important and I hope this information gives you a feel for who I am and how I work. I offer you the space and time where you can feel heard and supported, I鈥檓 not here to give advice or assess you. With compassion and curiosity we can focus on your situation, work with difficult or painful emotions that you may be experiencing, and gain a deeper understanding into the challenges you are facing. I am a 鈥榩erson-centred鈥� counsellor. In short, this type of counselling approach means I am here to be alongside you to explore emotions and issues that you bring to the sessions. We work together to understand them more and see how they fit with your understanding of yourself and the world. You, the client know yourself best, and with the right supportive relationship you can find an inner peace, move forward and make positive lasting change. My work addresses a wide range of issues and experiences including low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, grief, sexual abuse, trauma, shame, depression, relationship difficulties and the effects of abuse.Practice description
For my own health and wellbeing I find being out in nature deeply satisfying. Be it walking my dog, running, swimming or water sports it is being in the fresh air that helps me to relax and connect with what is important to me. Therefor I also offer 鈥榳alk and talk鈥� or 鈥極utdoor therapy鈥� as a way working with clients who feel similar to me as not everyone is comfortable in a counselling room, preferring the freedom of being outside. To understand more about this I include this link to the BACP
If mobility is something to factor in I am able to meet for local outdoor sessions at a place you feel that works best for you.
My first session
For a period of time I offer sessions that last 50 minutes and take place weekly at the same time ( though I can offer to be flexible as and when life things arise) that cost 拢48 for online and walk/talk and 拢55 for in person (to cover room rental) Payments can be made by bank transfer. For students I offer 拢45. For in person if you book 12 sessions I offer a discount of paying only for 11.
For new clients I offer a free session for 20-30 minutes, in which you can see if you are comfortable with me and how I work. These are conducted by phone / online or in person and there is no obligation to continue.
I offer short or long term counselling according to your individual needs, either in person, by phone or online. Please note: payment for all sessions is required on the day or in advance.
Professionally, I hold an Advanced Diploma in Counselling accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and validated by Network Counselling. I also have experience of supporting women therapeutically at the charity One 25.
My client work includes Network Counselling and my Private Practice. I undertake regular clinical supervision. I hold full liability insurance and am a registered member of the BACP, working within their ethical framework.
