ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

I have availability from start of April 2026, with spaces for initial consultations in the week ahead of that.

As an integrative therapist I work with you to understand your current feelings within the context of your wider life experience.   Our whole life and history walks into the therapy room with us, so whatever circumstances have led to you seeking help, you may find yourself exploring a wide variety of other experiences that have gone before to help you make sense of things.  Therapy isn't always easy or enjoyable, but whatever the cause of your present distress, it is through being in this unique relationship that ultimately leads to the growth and change that you seek.

I have experience of working with a range of issues including domestic and childhood abuse, parenting challenges, bereavement, divorce/separation, social anxiety and depression but therapy is about understanding your reactions to what has happened to you, and not about labelling you.  You may experience grief, depression, anxiety, or trauma in response to circumstances you have found yourself in, and these are emotional reactions - symptoms - rather than diagnoses or disorders. I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space in which we can work together to understand these experiences and their individual meaning to you. 

I have undertaken specialist training with the Foundation for Infant Loss Training, around pregnancy and infant loss.  I also have a special interest in autism and neurodiversity.  Psychotherapy and counselling are non-diagnostic services, but we can explore and understand your unique experience of the world.  I aim to create an environment where it feels safe to express your true self.

I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor, with an MSc in Psychotherapy & Counselling from the University of Warwick, and currently working towards accreditation as a psychotherapist. 

Sessions take place in my peaceful private practice adjacent to my home, overlooking the garden.  There is ample street parking.   

If you might need adjustments or accommodations in order to make the therapy accessible to you please do let me know in your initial enquiry, and if I can't meet these I will endeavour to signpost you to someone who can.  

I offer a free 50 minute initial consultation either face to face or via Googlemeet.   During this session we will briefly explore your history, and reasons for seeking therapy at this time. I will explain the way I work, and we will agree a potential ongoing appointment time.  You are under no obligation to proceed.  I encourage people to take time to reflect before committing, and similarly I may also need to discuss certain cases with my clinical supervisor before going ahead (standard ethical practice for counsellors and psychotherapists). If I don't feel that I'm best placed to work with you I will do my best to signpost you on to another counsellor or service at this point.
