Counselling offers a confidential space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with me, a trained professional. We’ll work at your pace to understand what’s happening for you, find ways to navigate any difficulties, or simply make space to process things so life feels a little lighter and more manageable.

We may look to your childhood for insight, or focus on the present and the dynamics within your relationships. The direction we take is always your choice, and I will respect that.

I offer a flexible, supportive space where each session is shaped around your needs. Everyone is different, and I value your individuality and unique life experiences.

Sessions are currently £50 for 50 minutes. Reduced-rate sessions are available on request for students, people receiving benefits, and Blue Light Badge holders.

If you need to cancel, please give me at least 24 hours notice. Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged, unless I can reschedule you for another appointment that same week.

How many sessions will I need?

Everyone is different, but I have found some people will only need a few sessions whilst others may prefer longer term work.  We will review this regularly to make sure it feels right for you.

How often are sessions held?

Most clients attend weekly sessions, but fortnightly may also be suitable depending on your needs.

Confidentiality

What we discuss during our sessions is confidential. I may discuss aspects of our work with my supervisor to ensure I am providing the best possible support; however, no identifying information or names are shared.

Supervision helps me stay on track and access guidance when needed. All client information is stored securely and in accordance with ICO guidance.

How do I know if you’re the right counsellor for me?

For counselling to work well, it’s important that you feel comfortable sharing what’s on your mind. Building trust early on is a big part of that. In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other and see whether working together feels like a good fit. If it doesn’t, that’s completely okay.

Can I stop counselling at any time?

Absolutely. You’re in control of your therapy, so you can pause or end sessions whenever you feel ready. We can talk it through together and make sure you feel supported.
