I offer individual counselling for adults and young people, drawing on a psychodynamic approach. This means we explore how your past experiences may be influencing your present life, helping you gain clarity and emotional resilience. Please have a look at my Counselling page to learn more about the counselling services I offer.

The initial consultation is £50 and thereafter sessions cost £65, and last for 50 minutes. Feel free to get in touch to discuss availability.

You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or simply want to understand yourself better, counselling can offer support, clarity, and long-term change.

It depends. I would expect to work with my clients for at least six months, but most of my clients are long term and we will work together for a number of years. Genuine and lasting psychological change does not happen quickly. Our ways of thinking and emotional responses are the culmination of a lifetime of experience and therefore require time and space to identify and shift. For many people, simply having a place where they are carefully listened to without judgement is a very new experience.

My work is open-ended, meaning that I do not enforce any time limits on my clients, but instead work with them to identify when they have achieved what they want from therapy, and to bring their therapy to a close when the time feels right. I also offer a 12 week time-limited option which suits some people due to work, family or financial commitments which will have a more dynamic, directive feel.

Yes — what you share is treated with respect and confidentiality. There are a few rare exceptions where I have a legal or ethical duty to break confidentiality, which I’ll explain clearly in our first session.
