Availability
I have space for new clients and offer flexible hours including weekends as after all - life is busy and rarely ever linear!
There is no pressure to sign up to a certain number of sessions and see clients weekly / by-weekly and monthly so it really depends on what suits your individual situation best.
About me and my therapy practice
I am an open-minded, dynamic and pro-active therapist, passionate about encouraging people to realise their full potential and become their own ally, replacing ridged, un-helpful thinking with curiosity and kindness.
I have vast experience in a range of therapeutic approaches but my motto is empathy without challenge does not inspire change.
I have a keen interest in working with couples, teenagers, people suffering with anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders and neuro-diverse individuals (diagnosed or not) but ultimately welcome anyone, of any age who is seeking to change and ready to be vulnerable and trust the process.
Practice description
Well done for making the first step and looking into finding help.
I have 12 years experience as a private therapist and working part time as a counsellor in a secondary school.
I love my job and feel privileged to hear about peoples lives and backgrounds. I am passionate about helping clients form links and make sense of where they are at in order to move forward and reach their full potential.
I am totally honest and non-judgemental and will offer empathy as well as challenge as empathy alone does not inspire change and for us to re-think our un-helpful patterns / habits.
I have worked with individuals, couples and families to better understand each other, communicate and most importantly comprehend each other’s needs.
I am a pro-active therapist and my main ask is for clients to be as honest as possible and I will agree to do the same. It’s important to get out of our ‘uncomfortable-comfort zone’ in order to learn more about ourselves and better understand our struggles.

I offer a free initial 20 minute phone conversation and subsequent sessions are £40 for 50 minutes.
