I currently have some availability Wednesday and Thursday afternoons with a short waiting list for Friday afternoons.

There's no 'one size fits all' in counselling and, although I specialise in Gestalt therapy, I integrate other types of counselling in order to find a way of working that best suits you.  Gestalt therapy helps you to focus on what you are feeling and experiencing in the present moment, rather than analysing the past. With awareness of your thoughts, emotions and behaviours you can try to understand yourself better and take responsibility for change.

I’m a trauma informed integrative counsellor who works with adults of all ages. My clients tell me I'm warm, friendly and easy to talk to and I pride myself on creating a relaxed and comfortable space to welcome my clients. 

To allow sufficient time for appointments to be offered to others, cancellations or rescheduling requests require a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged in full.

I offer a free initial telephone call to assess whether or not I am the right counsellor for you. If we agree that we might be a good fit then we will arrange your first session. 

The first counselling session is then an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. We will talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain from the process, and any questions or concerns you may have. We will also discuss practical aspects of working together, such as confidentiality and how sessions will be structured. There is no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with; the first session is about creating a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
