I am currently offering  online sessions on Monday mornings.

Spring 2026

I currently have a spaces  for weekly online . I have a special interest in working with women going through Perimenopause/ menopause transition. If this might be a good fit for you please reach out and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

A limited number of appointments may be available at other times so do get in touch if you need a different time.

Please allow 48 hours for me to respond to your enquiry.

I am an integrative counsellor/therapist with over 20 years experience- I have worked with a broad range of people from different walks of life and firmly believe one size does not fit all so I work to tailor my approach to your needs. Each of us is an individual engaged in the task of becoming ourselves, we can face many obstacles in this process, starting with early experiences that influence how we relate to self and others. I understand that the contexts in which we live, socially and culturally are hugely impactful for our lives. I work in an interactive, flexible and relational way, checking in regularly to understand what you find helpful. I aim to be supportive as well as gently challenging when this might be helpful for your growth. 

I am committed to working in an open and supportive way to facilitate your growth and development and to help you work through issues which may be holding you back or creating distress in your life. I work from a trauma informed perspective.

You can expect a warm and authentic experience, I understand that therapy can be a significant undertaking and sometimes feels like a scary step into the unknown! You will not be pushed to talk about anything you're not comfortable with but likewise if we're avoiding something which may be significant I will share my observations with you so we can think about it together.

For women in midlife there are particular challenges to be faced- not least how to fulfil the potential of the menopause transition as well as how early life experiences have influenced your personal development. If you find yourself squashed between caring roles and not finding space to care for yourself therapy can be a great way of working through this and I am here to facilitate  this journey. 

I bring particular experience in working with women going through peri/menopause, people in the creative sector and those in counselling training.

In essence you set the agenda and I bring my experience and knowledge to assist you!

The first online session is a chance for you to find out if the way I work feels like a good fit for you. You may have questions that are important to ask before you decide to start therapy.  I will ask about what's bringing you to therapy and whats lead up to this point.  This is also a chance to think about the sort of issues you're wanting to work on so I can understand if my skills are a good match. We may decide to meet again at this point or we may feel that a different  counsellor, sort of counselling or other support is a better option- I will be clear about my recommended next steps.

For online therapy to be helpful it’s important you are indoors, in a private room where you cannot be overheard or interrupted so that you feel safe to explore anything that would be beneficial for you. 

We will have a clear sense by the end of the initial session about what our next steps will be.  We will discuss whether you're looking for short (up to 12 sessions) or longer term / open ended therapy.  We will discuss fees and payment options. 

You can expect a straightforward process to arrange an initial session.  The best way to contact me by email in the first instance, (please allow at 2 working days for me to respond)  and we can then set up a phone call or Microsoft TEAMS meeting to discuss next steps. First sessions are charged at the same rate as ongoing work. You can also choose a shorter 25 min initial chat which will be charged at half the price of a full 50 minute session.

If you're a student/ on a low income/ receiving benefit I do offer some lower cost appointments. If you're interested in this option please mention it in your initial email. 

I look forward to hearing from you.
