About me and my therapy practice
To me counselling is a supportive, collaborative process that provides a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and life challenges. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or simply need someone to listen, therapy can offer valuable tools to help you understand yourself better, heal, and move forward. With compassion and professionalism, I’m here to guide you toward personal growth, emotional well-being, and a more fulfilling life. Together, we can work through difficult emotions and create lasting change.
The journey of counselling can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. Building a strong connection with your therapist is key to walking this path together. It's important to feel safe, heard, and able to explore your vulnerabilities without fear of judgment. These elements are essential to the healing and growth that therapy offers.
Practice description
My priority is in keeping you at the focal point of our exploration, primarily leaning into a person-centered approach. A person-centered approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that individuals have the innate ability to understand themselves and make positive changes when provided with the right therapeutic environment. In this approach, the therapist creates a supportive, non-judgmental space where the client is the expert on their own experiences. The therapist offers empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard, helping the client feel heard and valued. This approach emphasizes self-acceptance, personal growth, and the development of a deeper understanding of one's feelings, leading to positive change and emotional healing.For ease of access, I offer both in-person sessions (Romsey town centre) and remote / online sessions. The room I use for face-to-face sessions is spacious, comfortable, and within walking distance from various surrounding car parks / transport links.
My first session
Ahead of a first session, I offer a free 15-30 minute phone call, so we can establish whether my approach is the right fit for you.
If not covered beforehand, this first session will begin with contracting (exploring the parameters of our work together), followed by two other sheets: CORE-10 and Jelly men. These sheets are utilised as tools to find a good starting point for our therapeutic exploration. These same sheets are used in review sessions (every 6th session) as reference points for us to reflect on your process.
Beyond this, the focus of an initial session would be for me to better understand what has brought you to therapy, and where our valuable areas of exploration may be.
