I am available week days between 9am and 3pm

Hello, I have been a counsellor for nearly 10 years now and have worked in various settings.  The last 6 yrs I have been running my own private practice from home. I find my work to be an absolute honour and a privileged and it's something I feel very passionate about.  

It can be extremely difficult to approach a therapist, especially when it's new and open up to someone you don't know. Over time though, if we're a good fit, we can build trust and eventually you should find that in our confidential space, you'll feel confident enough to share and explore your concerns and together we can start finding some answers. Choosing the right therapist is important and that's why I offer all potential clients a full 30 minute free consultation.

My sessions with clients focus on providing a supportive and confidential space for adults facing personal challenges. I prioritise empathy, affordability and flexibility to help you achieve greater wellbeing and personal growth.

I provide specialised counselling tailored specifically for the unique needs of adults experiencing all aspects of emotional suffering relating to loss, grief, relationship difficulties, weight management, work problems, overwhelm, burnout exploring if you are neurodiverse, depression and anxiety.

Through my training I have gained knowledge in several theoretical areas and I use an integrative approach meaning that  I determine which of those theoretical approaches each client may benefit from. This means I do not work with clients with a one size fits all approach, I work to meet the individual needs of each person I work with.

I provide a space where you can share thoughts and feelings that you don't feel comfortable talking to anyone else about. Where the unsaid has a place to be heard and you can feel seen. A safe space where you can unburden yourself knowing that you will not be judged and your concerns respected.

I work with clients online which means our sessions are accessible from any private, comfortable location. Your privacy and trust are paramount, so I ensure a safe space for us to have open dialogue. Working together online allows you to have your session from anywhere in the country, on your lunch break or at home. It also keeps costs down and saves travel time meaning you can fit your sessions easily into your schedule and lifestyle.

The minimum requirement for online sessions is that you have good wi-fi and can not be heard or disturbed during our sessions.  Confidentiality is absolutely key so that you feel safe to fully explore your feelings.

I am currently in the process of developing some group therapy sessions and there is more information about this on my website whitecloudcounselling.co.uk

You can make contact with me through the online for here or via my website. We'll then arrange a suitable time for us to have a chat and you can choose whether you want to do that on the phone or I can send you an online link. For all clients interested in working with me, I offer this chat as a free service and it can last up to 30 minutes.

This chat allows you to see how you feel talking to me and it allows me to gain some information about your needs and from there I'll be able to determine if I think I can help.  This discussion is for both of us to see if we are a good fit so there is no obligation at all to book a first session although we can if it feels right.

In your first session we'll talk about how it all works and you'll be invited to share any concerns and ask questions. If you've had counselling before we can talk to understand what may or may not have been helpful and I'll be able to clarify what you may come to expect and discuss your hopes, fears and expectations. 

I stay up to date with ongoing advances in approaches to therapy and engage in continuing professional development by attending workshops, courses and lectures. I also work on my own personal development so that I can provide a stable and secure space for clients to feel safe and in trusted hands.
