About me and my therapy practice
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself? Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in relationships, struggling with confidence, or finding that past experiences continue to affect your life today.
I offer a warm, confidential and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace. My aim is to help you feel heard, understood and supported as we work together to develop greater awareness, self-understanding and positive change.
I am a 糖心官网 registered counsellor and supervisor, offering an integrative approach that recognises each person鈥檚 individual story, strengths and needs. I work with adults experiencing a range of challenges, including anxiety, stress, trauma, grief, life transitions, emotional difficulties and relationship concerns.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective counselling. I offer a space where you can be yourself, explore what matters to you, and begin to reconnect with your own inner resources.
Practice description
My practice is centred around creating a safe, respectful and collaborative relationship where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. I believe that feeling genuinely heard and understood is an important part of the therapeutic process, and I work with each person as an individual, recognising that everyone鈥檚 story is unique.
I use an integrative approach, drawing from different therapeutic ideas and adapting our work to meet your needs. Together, we can explore thoughts, feelings, experiences and patterns that may be affecting your life, relationships or sense of self, while developing greater self-awareness, resilience and self-compassion.
I believe that many of the difficulties we experience can be connected to our life experiences and the ways we have learned to cope. Counselling can provide an opportunity to understand these experiences, make sense of what is happening, and discover new ways of responding that feel more supportive.
Where appropriate, I may incorporate creative approaches, mindfulness, and gentle body-based techniques to complement our work. These can offer additional ways to explore emotions, increase awareness and support a stronger connection between thoughts, feelings and physical responses.
I also offer supervision for counsellors and therapists. My supervision style is reflective, supportive and collaborative, providing a space to explore client work, ethical considerations, professional development and your own growth as a practitioner. I aim to offer both encouragement and thoughtful challenge, helping supervisees develop confidence, curiosity and authenticity in their practice.
Whether you are seeking counselling or supervision, my aim is to offer a relationship built on compassion, respect and a genuine commitment to supporting your journey.
My first session
My approach to fees is inspired by the practice of dana 鈥 a principle of generosity, mindful exchange and recognising that each person鈥檚 circumstances are different.
I believe counselling should be accessible, while also recognising that this work requires time, training, commitment and a sustainable practice. With this in mind, I offer a flexible contribution model rather than a single fixed fee.
My current session contributions are:
拢40 鈥 accessible contribution
For those who need a lower fee in order to make counselling possible.
拢50 鈥 standard contribution
This is the contribution that supports the ongoing sustainability of my practice.
拢60 鈥 supportive contribution
For those who have greater financial flexibility and would like to help maintain accessibility for others.
When we begin working together, we will agree on a contribution that feels right for your circumstances. This is not about measuring your commitment to therapy or your ability to 鈥渄eserve鈥 support. It is about finding a sustainable and respectful way for us to work together.
Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes. Payment details and arrangements will be discussed once we agree to work together.
First Step
We begin with a gentle, informal chat, either by phone or email, so you can share a little about what you鈥檙e looking for and ask any questions. From there, we can arrange a free pre鈥憇ession meeting, either face to face or online. This gives you a real sense of what it feels like to sit with me, and helps us both decide whether we鈥檙e a good fit to work together.
Next Step
Before your first full appointment, I鈥檒l send you a counselling agreement and a short screening form. These simply help us start with clarity and understanding.
Ongoing Sessions
In our first session, we鈥檒l agree on an initial number of sessions, usually at the same time each week. This is flexible and can change as your needs change.

About me and my therapy practice
I offer supervision for counsellors working with children, young people and adults, with a particular interest in supporting trainees, newly qualified practitioners and those developing confidence in working with younger clients.
Beginning your counselling journey can bring uncertainty and self-doubt. My aim is to provide a warm, steady and reflective supervisory space where you can explore your client work, develop clinical thinking and grow into your therapeutic identity.
My approach is collaborative and relational. As a trauma-informed practitioner, I recognise how experiences, relationships and environments shape the way we understand ourselves and others. Supervision provides space to reflect on client work, ethical responsibilities, the therapeutic relationship and your own responses, while bringing challenges and questions without fear of judgement.
I have experience supporting practitioners working with children and young people, including reflection on developmental needs, emotional regulation, attachment, safeguarding, boundaries and the wider systems around the child or young person. I also recognise the emotional impact of this work and offer space to process experiences, remain grounded and support your wellbeing as a practitioner.
My supervision draws from humanistic, relational and integrative perspectives. I encourage supervisees to bring their whole selves 鈥 including curiosity, creativity, intuition and embodied responses 鈥 while remaining grounded in ethical practice and professional accountability.
I also support exploration of creative and somatic approaches, including sound-based therapeutic work, tapping techniques and reflective creative processes, where these support your practice.
Supervision is available online via Microsoft Teams or face-to-face. My intention is to offer a space where you feel supported, encouraged and thoughtfully challenged to become a confident, reflective practitioner.
Practice description
I offer integrative and humanistic supervision for individuals and groups, supporting qualified counsellors, trainees and newly qualified practitioners. My supervision style is warm, steady and collaborative, creating a safe and reflective space where you can bring your client work, explore challenges, consider ethical questions and develop confidence in your practice.
Supervision with me is a place for growth, curiosity and professional nourishment. Together, we explore what feels strong in your work, what feels uncertain, and the relational dynamics that sit beneath the surface. I encourage you to bring your whole therapeutic self into supervision 鈥 including your intuition, creativity, embodied responses, questions and reflections 鈥 while remaining grounded in ethical practice and professional responsibility.
I draw on the Seven-Eyed Supervision Model, which supports exploration of therapeutic work from multiple perspectives, including the client鈥檚 experience, the therapeutic relationship, your own responses, the wider context and the dynamics within supervision itself. This way of working encourages spacious reflection, deeper clinical thinking and new insights into your practice.
I welcome supervisees working with children, young people and adults, and I offer particular support around developmental needs, safeguarding, attachment, emotional regulation and the emotional impact of therapeutic work. I recognise that working with children and young people can bring unique challenges, and supervision provides a space to process experiences, remain grounded and continue growing as a practitioner.
Whether your practice is traditional, creative, somatic or integrative, there is room here for your individual way of working. My aim is to support you in developing a therapeutic identity that feels authentic, confident and sustainable.
My first session
Our first session together is an important starting point. It gives us the opportunity to get to know each other, explore how we each work, and consider whether the supervision relationship feels like a good fit. This is your space to share what you are looking for from supervision, how you approach your client work, and what helps you feel supported and able to reflect openly.
As we continue working together, we will regularly review the supervision process to ensure it remains responsive to your professional needs, development and the realities of your practice. My aim is to support you in feeling grounded, resourced and confident, while encouraging thoughtful reflection, curiosity and continued growth as a practitioner.
I value open and honest conversations, including the exploration of uncertainty, challenges and different perspectives. I believe supervision is a place where both support and constructive challenge can exist, creating a trusting environment where you can develop your clinical thinking and strengthen your therapeutic identity.
When our supervision relationship comes to an end, we will make space to reflect on the journey, acknowledge the work we have shared and bring the process to a close in a way that feels respectful, thoughtful and complete.
Supervision fees
I offer supervision for trainees, newly qualified counsellors and experienced practitioners, providing a reflective, supportive and professionally grounded space to explore client work, ethical practice and your development as a therapist.
I recognise that training as a counsellor can be a significant financial commitment, and I aim to offer accessible supervision for those beginning their professional journey while also honouring the responsibility and experience involved in the supervisory role.
