I currently have some availability and would welcome your enquiries. I do offer flexible times and completely understand the demands that come with busy work and family life.

I offer weekly sessions that last 60/90 minutes.

My service includes face to face meetings.

Hello my name is Flo...

With over 38 years of experience across the NHS and private practice, I offer a safe, deeply compassionate space to help you navigate life’s most profound and challenging transitions. As a dual-trained psychodynamic counsellor, parent-infant relationship specialist, and former registered nurse (in both general and psychiatric care), my approach is grounded in a thorough understanding of the mind-body connection.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan, specialising in trauma, loss and bereavement, relationship struggles, and anxiety or depression.

Perinatal, Postnatal & Parent-Infant Therapy

The journey into parenthood can stir up unexpected emotions, vulnerabilities, and past hurts. I offer a gentle, specialised space for expectant mothers, partners, and parents of babies (birth to three years old) to process:

• The psychological and physiological impact of pregnancy and birth trauma.

• The complex emotional journeys of infertility and IVF.

• Postnatal depression, anxiety, grief, and loss.

• Unresolved childhood experiences that may be impacting your ability to bond with your baby.

Together, we will work to understand these feelings, allowing you to heal and build a secure, healthy relationship with your child.

Professional Standards & Qualifications

• Experience: 38+ years of clinical experience, including extensive specialised service within the NHS.

• Accreditation: Accredited Registered member adhering strictly to professional ethical frameworks and ÌÇÐĹÙÍø guidelines.

My Approach

My counselling style is empathic, intuitive, reflective, warm, and approachable. We might explore the everyday events of your week, but we will also look beneath the surface to understand how your history shapes your present.

Rather than relying on rigid assessments or quick fixes, I practice from a psychodynamic perspective. This means I listen deeply not just to your words, but to the underlying patterns, recurring themes, and early relationships that influence how you move through the world today. Together, we will gently unpack past trauma and untangle complex emotions in a secure, consistent space where you feel genuinely contained and understood.

Every individual and family is unique, which is why I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to your specific needs. My work draws heavily on psychoanalytic models and attachment theory, allowing us to explore how your past might be influencing your present patterns, relationships, and well-being. Whether you are processing recent trauma, historic abuse, or navigating a difficult life transition, we will work at a pace that feels safe for you. The counselling process is client driven, meaning that you could be talking about anything from the events of the day, to moments from your family history or past trauma. 

Finding the Right Fit

Therapy is deeply personal, and the relationship between counsellor and client is key. To help you decide if I am the right therapist for you, I offer a free, 30-minute initial conversation.

During this introductory chat, we will explore what is bringing you to therapy at this point in your life and the specific issues you would like to address. There is never any pressure—I am never offended if you feel we aren't the perfect fit.I offer a dedicated, non-judgemental and confidential space for sessions. The face to face appointment will give you time to talk about what brings you into therapy. This meeting will be an opportunity for you to ask questions, for us to talk about some of your history and if working with me will feel right for you. Following this time together we can think whether you will prefer to work in a longer-term way or alternatively in a much more time limited, or short-term way.

I currently have availability on Mondays and Wednesdays but can be flexible.
