Availability
I currently have availability for new clients and offer flexible daytime and early evening appointments. Sessions are available online and by telephone for adults across the UK, and I also offer face鈥憈o鈥慺ace sessions in Southport, Merseyside.
If you鈥檙e unsure whether therapy with me feels right, you鈥檙e welcome to book a free initial call. This is a gentle space to talk through what you鈥檙e looking for, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
I will update this section if my availability changes or if I am due to take planned time away from practice.
About me and my therapy practice
You might be arriving here feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in yourself, or simply worn down by carrying too much for too long. Perhaps you鈥檙e used to being the strong one, the person others rely on, and you鈥檝e realised you rarely have space to think about your own needs. Therapy can offer a pause, a breath, and a place where you don鈥檛 have to hold everything together.
I work in a person鈥慶entred and trauma鈥慽nformed way, which means we move gently and at your pace. I won鈥檛 diagnose you or tell you what you 鈥渟hould鈥 do. Instead, I鈥檒l listen closely and walk alongside you as you explore what feels difficult, confusing, or heavy. You don鈥檛 need to have the right words or a clear story, we can make sense of things together.
Over time, many clients begin to feel more grounded, more connected to themselves, and more able to make choices that genuinely fit who they are. Whether you鈥檙e navigating anxiety, low mood, self鈥慸oubt, relationship difficulties, life transitions, or the impact of addiction, therapy can be a place to feel understood and supported.
I offer face鈥憈o鈥慺ace sessions in Southport, Merseyside, as well as online and telephone counselling for adults across the UK.
Practice description
My practice offers a calm, steady space where you can bring the parts of your life that feel heavy, tangled, or hard to say out loud. You might be feeling anxious, low, or unsure of yourself. You may have spent a long time putting others first, coping quietly, or trying to manage feelings that don鈥檛 seem to shift. Therapy can be a place to slow down and feel less alone with what you鈥檙e carrying.Many of the people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in patterns they don鈥檛 fully understand. You might be navigating relationship difficulties, self鈥慸oubt, anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, or the impact of addiction, whether your own, or someone else鈥檚. Whatever your experience, you鈥檙e welcome to arrive exactly as you are.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I won鈥檛 push you to talk about anything before you鈥檙e ready. Instead, we鈥檒l explore your experiences at a pace that feels manageable, paying attention to what matters most to you. Over time, therapy can help you feel more settled, more connected to yourself, and more able to move through life with clarity and self鈥憉nderstanding.
I offer online and telephone counselling across the UK, as well as face鈥憈o鈥慺ace sessions in Southport, Merseyside.
My first session
Before beginning therapy, I offer a free initial 20 minute call so we can explore what brings you here and what you鈥檙e hoping for. There鈥檚 no pressure to commit, it鈥檚 simply a chance to get a feel for whether working together feels right.
Your first session is a chance to arrive exactly as you are. You don鈥檛 need to prepare anything or know where to begin. Many people come to their first session feeling a mix of relief, uncertainty, or worry about saying things out loud. All of that is welcome.
We鈥檒l take things slowly. I鈥檒l invite you to share whatever feels most present for you, perhaps what鈥檚 been feeling heavy, what鈥檚 been troubling you, or what鈥檚 brought you to this point. You might not have the words yet, and that鈥檚 completely okay. We can find them together.
Together we will focus on getting a sense of what life feels like for you right now, what you鈥檙e hoping for, and what you might need from therapy. This first session often sets the tone for our work: gentle, collaborative, and grounded in what matters most to you.
By the end, you鈥檒l have a clearer sense of whether the space feels right and whether you鈥檇 like to continue. There鈥檚 no pressure, just an opportunity to see how it feels to be supported, heard, and not alone with what you鈥檙e carrying.
