About

About me

I am an integrative psychotherapist. This means that I draw on a variety of different approaches and schools of thought to offer individual psychological support.

I believe in working collaboratively with my clients, supporting them to decide what they feel they need, tailoring an individual therapeutic experience, unique for each person.

I work humanistically, valuing the lived experience of each individual I meet, and their innate ability to move towards a sense of well-being.

The therapeutic relationship is an important part of my practice, I believe that psychological healing starts here, with someone feeling heard and appreciated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are talking therapies & how do they help?

Sometimes things can feel difficult because of something that happens which is upsetting or destabilising.  Sometimes things feel difficult for absolutely no reason at all.  This is all part of being human.

At times like these I believe it's important to reflect and have a bit of a think about ways we can take care of ourselves.

As we're all different, so too are the approaches that might help us examine or find some kind of resolution to our personal conflict.

What sorts of things do people talk about?

My clients are welcome to talk about whatever is happening for them in that moment.
I have specific experience working with the following areas of the human condition:
  • Anxiety and worry
  • Depression
  • Stress
  • Self harm
  • Isolation and loneliness
  • Addictions; alcohol, prescription/ non-prescription substances
  • Work place issues, low job satisfaction
  • Problems forming relationships with others
  • Identity
  • Low confidence or self-esteem
  • Sexual identity, gender identity and sexuality
  • Disability and health related issues
  • Autistic Spectrum Disorders
  • Bereavement and loss
  • Domestic violence

What are your fees?

I charge £50 per counselling hour (which is 50 minutes long).


What happens in a first appointment?


I offer a free 15 minute consultation by video link so we can meet without the pressure of a full session.


A full session is a good chance to have a more in depth conversation to see what it is you are bringing, and how we might work together to be of benefit to you.

The first session might feel a bit different as we will be getting to know one another.  I might ask more questions than usual, you might feel like you are covering a lot ground.

If you'd decide to book more sessions then we will go through our working agreement and a short risk assessment in the second session.

What's it like working online?


It is a bit different - we have less information available to us through non-verbal communication, but I've found that working through a video link is easier to adapt to then you might think.  We may need to check our understanding a bit more often, and there will be some experimentation to find the best place to sit and place the device you are using so you are comfortable and have a view that works for you.



How many sessions do people have?

This varies from person to person, and is something we can agree before hand - if that feels better for you, or we can see how we go and regularly review our work to check that it's moving in the right direction for you.

When do you work?

Currently I practice online and face-to-face, and hold sessions on Tuesdays through to Fridays.

I have a number of spaces to suit different schedules on these days.
