• Do you find yourself overthinking every situation? Is anxiety holding you back from making decisions or seeking out new opportunities?
  
• Have you experienced trauma or been faced with traumatic situations and now struggle with your self-esteem, confidence or decision making?
  
• Are you experiencing a significant life transition or decision and you're unsure how to deal with it or are finding it hard to find the time and space to process your thoughts?​

If the answer to any of the above is yes, then What's Next Counselling can help you work towards 'What's Next' in your life.

At What's Next Counselling, I specialise in:

• Helping young people and adults manage their anxiety so that they can manage situations in a healthier and balanced way.
  
• Helping people who have experienced trauma to share their story in a confident manner without feeling judged so they they can begin the healing process.
  
• Helping individuals who are experiencing a challenging life transition or are needing to make an important life decision by providing them with a safe space to process the implications of such a decision or transition.

I am a fully qualified, insured counsellor and psychotherapist who holds registered membership with The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I offer Single Session, Short-Term or Long-Term therapy.​​ I believe in the benefits that clients can experience in having therapeutic conversations in a safe, boundaried and non-judgmental space.

I work with clients aged 13 and above.

I specialise in providing counselling services for those who are struggling with anxiety, have suffered trauma and those clients struggling with transitions in their life.

Such transitions could be:

Preparing for or leaving education.

Relationship breakdowns.

Changes in the family dynamics.

Bereavement.

Difficulties and challenges in being a parent.​

What's Next Counselling specialises in providing therapeutic conversations to those clients experiencing difficulties with anxiety, trauma or life transitions/decisions.

Sessions are 60 minutes in length and cost £55. Working exclusively online, this means that I can be flexible around scheduling to meet the demands of your life. Sessions are held by way of telephone calls, video call or email.

My practice prides itself on putting you first as the client. I will work with you to ensure that you are happy with the therapeutic service that is being provided, always offering you the opportunity to offer feedback and ask any questions.

When you enquire about starting therapy, the first step will be a free 30 minute consultation, conducted by either telephone or video call. This will give us both an opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together and for you to ask any questions you might have about me or the therapeutic process.​

If you decide to commence therapy, I will then email you a client information form to complete and my counselling contract. It is important for you to read the counselling contract before electronically signing it, to ensure you are comfortable with its content and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions about it.

Once the client information form and counselling contract have been returned, we will agree the day and time for your therapy session.

​I ask for payment prior to the session. Once payment has been received, I will email the video link to you or if you are accessing therapy by way of telephone call, I will contact you at the agreed time.
