I see clients online and in person between the hours of 8am and 7pm.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or struggling to function?

I support clients experiencing grief, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship or life changes.

Together, we ‘connect the dots’ between past experiences, early patterns of relating and present-day difficulties. This process builds self-awareness, a sense of safety, and healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

I work integratively, combining emotional insight with bodily awareness and I tailor my approach to each client. Whether you are facing recurring patterns, unwanted behaviours, relationship difficulties, or change and loss, I offer a compassionate space to explore and grow. Even short-term work can lead to meaningful insight and lasting change.

I provide an impartial, professional and confidential working environment, working ethically and safely. I am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold a current DBS certificate. In addition to my private practice I also work for Cotswold Counselling, a registered charity offering counselling in the Cirencester area.

Typically clients ask for an initial short telephone call (15-20 minutes) arranged at a mutually convenient time so that they can find out a bit more about how I work and ask any questions. Clients must feel comfortable working with me and this is an opportunity for you to get a 'feel' for the sort of therapist I am. Payment is taken at the time of booking to secure the first session slot and each session can then be paid for separately in advance or in blocks. A session lasts 50 minutes. Most of my clients attend weekly but I am able to offer fortnightly sessions. Parking is available outside my therapy room. Clients are typically seen for at least six sessions to start and for as long as they feel that it is helpful thereafter. There is no charge for advance cancellation (48 hours). 

After running through how we will work together in more detail, our first session will be spent getting to know each other better and working out what you hope to achieve. You may not be sure at this stage and that is fine. Together, we will start to tailor a plan based on your needs and expectations. This is all done in a gentle conversational way and the 'plan' is flexible and can be revisited and tweaked at any stage.
