Please feel free to get in touch to discuss availability or arrange a suitable time.
About me and my therapy practice
If you鈥檙e here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Perhaps you鈥檙e keeping things going on the outside while struggling underneath, finding it hard to switch off, or feeling lost in a period of change. It鈥檚 okay if things feel unclear right now.
I鈥檓 a humanistic integrative counsellor based in Blandford, Dorset, offering online and telephone counselling for adults across the UK and, where appropriate, internationally.
Many of the people I support are navigating periods of change in their lives. This might include becoming a parent, changes in relationships or work, shifts in identity, or reaching a point where life no longer feels as though it fits in the way it once did.
I provide a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever feels important to you. Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, helping you make sense of what鈥檚 going on and find a way forward that feels right for you.
There鈥檚 no pressure to have the 鈥渞ight words鈥 or to know exactly what to say. At the heart of my work is building a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel able to be yourself and explore things at a pace that feels comfortable.
Practice description
Therapy offers a space to step back from the demands of everyday life and spend some time focusing on yourself, something that isn鈥檛 always easy to prioritise.
I aim to make the process feel steady and approachable, whether you鈥檙e new to therapy or returning to it. You don鈥檛 need to have the 鈥渞ight words鈥 or a clear starting point.
As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I adapt how I work to suit you as an individual. Some sessions may be more reflective, helping you explore patterns, experiences, or relationships that continue to affect you, while others focus on what feels most important in the present.
Many of the people I work with are navigating periods of change. This may include becoming a parent, changes in relationships or work, shifts in identity, or adjusting to a version of life that feels different from what they expected. These experiences can often bring feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, grief, or uncertainty about the future.
I also support people experiencing loss in a broad sense, whether that relates to bereavement, a change in circumstances, a lost opportunity, or a change in how they see themselves and their lives.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship we build together. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we can explore your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of what鈥檚 going on for you, and work towards meaningful change in a way that feels right for you.
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place online or by telephone, offering flexibility around day-to-day commitments.
My first session
Before beginning therapy, we will discuss whether online counselling feels appropriate and supportive for your circumstances.
The first session is an opportunity for us to meet, explore what has brought you to therapy, and get a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're used to managing things on your own. There is no expectation to share everything straight away. We can take things at a pace that feels comfortable, and you're welcome to ask any questions you may have about therapy or how I work.
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place online or by telephone.
The first session is charged at the same rate as ongoing sessions, with no obligation to continue afterwards. What matters most is that you feel comfortable and that the space feels right for you.
My standard fee is 拢45 per session. I also offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for counselling trainees, subject to availability.
