About me and my therapy practice
Are you searching for peace of mind ?
Are you struggling with uncomfortable feelings or unease that arises out of experiencing: yourself, others, society, work, or the human condition? Maybe this is related to your relationship with yourself, your relationship with others, worry, stress, anxiety, family issues, guilt, feeling stuck or depressed, exploring moving on or endings, encountering uncomfortable feelings, or experiencing the loss of a dear one or a valued part of yourself.
In essence, I offer you the opportunity to explore your 'self' in a discreet, private and confidential environment away from family and friends. At your own pace you can explore whatever you choose in all its richness and detail.
Within the sanctuary of the counselling session, we will start to explore your inner world of thoughts and feelings, allowing you the opportunity to be open and honest about what is concerning you and allowing you to hear, clarify and bear witness to your own true story.
My approach of listening to you as a whole person can also lead to a lifting of anxiety and depression, especially if you are living life in a way that is not aligned with your inner self, and I have experience exploring the reasons and feelings underpinning alcohol and substance abuse, as well as being boarding school and trauma aware.
Choosing the right counsellor for you is a hugely important step, and so I thank you for stopping by and taking the time to consider whether my personality and skill set will support you on your journey of exploration and change. I am an intuitive integrative counsellor who brings deep understanding and compassion into therapy sessions. Fully qualified and Âé¶¹Ô´´ registered, I offer comforting and reassuring therapeutic support and bring years of experience to help you heal.
If you like what you have read then please call or email to arrange a free chat or a session. I look forward to hearing from you.
Practice description
- I offer 50 minute face to face counselling sessions in Bagshot for £80 (concessions are available).
- I offer online sessions (over Zoom/telehealth platform) for £70 (concessions are available).
For newcomers I would recommend that we agree to meet weekly at the same time and day each week.
Usually I follow a softer humanistic model whereby I provide you with a space to explore your own thoughts and feelings in a private and confidential environment.
On other occasions I may offer a set of more directive viewpoints and methods to deal with specific issues and challenges.
I believe that counselling is primarily about the fit between two people. My primary method is to offer you a place of safety within which you can explore your 'self', as opposed to using techniques or methods to help you resolve your issue. I would rather there be a level of emotional fit between us such that you would, should you wish, be able to trust me and the relationship between us to the point that you can voice your darkest fears.
My first session
Finding who will be a good fit for each of us often involves a period of trial and error. For this reason I offer the first session on a pay - only if you choose to continue to the second session (in which case the second session would be charged at twice the agreed fee)What I can help with
