Availability

I offer online and telephone sessions.

I also have some availability for walk and talk sessions and home visits. This limited to local bookings.

My sessions are generally 50minutes long.

I offer short- and long-term therapy.

Pricing is £40.00 for single sessions; however, I do offer a reduced price for block bookings of 3 sessions or more. 

My working day usually starts from 11am offering session slots up until 9pm for clients who struggle to find time during the day.

For in person sessions I am less flexible, however I can often accommodate with enough notice. For any home/walk and talk therapy sessions arrangements are made upon consultation which will take place via telephone or online. This service is limited to local clients and is dependant on safety and confidentiality, we must have a suitable place for our therapy sessions. 

I always suggest starting with 15 minute intro call. The purpose of this is so we can get to know each other and also see if I feel like the right fit for you and your individual needs. I can answer any questions you may have before any arrangements are made for therapy. 



About me and my therapy practice

Welcome- I’m glad you’re here, reaching out can feel difficult. This step can be the start of your journey towards feeling better. This is a safe space for you to do some self-discovery in a non-judgemental setting.

My style of working is centred on creating the therapeutic relationship, for a meaningful experience built on real connection and trust. I believe no one should go through life’s difficulties alone. We all deserve support, empathy and understanding. With my full attention and gentle guidance, we can move though your difficulties and concerns together.

My work is grounded in person-centred therapy, an approach which values empathy, acceptance and collaboration. While this forms the foundation of my work as an integrative therapist I do draw upon other approaches depending on each clients needs. 

I aim to create an environment you can trust. I will work with you to make your experience one that you are comfortable with. I hope we can arrive at a place where you feel you can be open and develop a deeper understanding of yourself, free to connect with your true feelings and emotions. Life can be challenging, I have learned through my own experiences and struggles that we can  feel lost and alone. Sometimes we worry our true selves won’t be accepted.

I believe we lead much fuller lives when we truly understand ourselves. What patterns and behaviours have you noticed about yourself. Often, we have very little compassion for ourselves, we can sometimes stay in regret and shame, finding acceptance really difficult. I want to help you realise you are worth self-compassion and understanding. Being vulnerable and sharing takes strength and courage, I believe it’s a must to live a the fulfilling life you deserve to live. I have never viewed accessing therapy for myself or others a as a weakness, I always feel proud of someone that opens up and is able to work on their personal growth.
