About me and my therapy practice

I am a Person-Centred Psychotherapist & Counsellor who offers a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space. My approach is grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth, healing, and change when met with empathic understanding.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling & the Psychotherapeutic Relationship from the University of Warwick (2023). My research dissertation explored the impact of menopause on counselling students, reflecting my longstanding interest in women鈥檚 reproductive health.

I bring both professional and personal insight to themes such as infertility, pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, pelvic pain, menopause, gynaecological issues and cancers. I am committed to offering a safe, compassionate space for individuals, their partners, and families to explore the emotional impact of these experiences.

As part of my training, I completed a two-year placement at The Hummingbird Centre, Oxfordshire, supporting clients affected by cancer and bereavement, including those approaching end of life.

I鈥檝e completed specialist training with Cruse Bereavement Service, which deepened my understanding of grief and loss and how profoundly this experience can impact everyday life.

My earlier background in holistic therapies has deepened my understanding of how stress, anxiety, depression and trauma affect both mind and body鈥攁n approach informed by the work of Bessel van der Kolk in 'The Body Keeps the Score'.

Practice description

Our sessions are guided by you 鈥� your needs, your pace and your story. I sit alongside you, offering deep listening and understanding, so that you can make sense of your life journey and find your own way forward.

Anxiety, stress, low mood & depression

Adjusting to illness and health-related concerns

Bereavement and loss

Child Sexual Abuse

Domestic Violence

Life transitions (including menopause and the death of a partner)

Moving on in life following cancer treatment

Relationship challenges and family dynamics

Terminal illness diagnosis and end of life care

Trauma and its ongoing impact

What to expect

In therapy with me, you can expect a gentle, collaborative process where you are truly heard and accepted. Together, we will create a therapeutic relationship that allows you to reconnect with yourself, develop greater self-understanding, and move toward the changes you wish to see.

My first session

I offer a free 20 minute zoom call to answer any questions, discuss the counselling contract and client information form which I will email to you once we have agreed to work together.

Fees and Payment

I work online from my home, and my current fee is 拢60 per one hour session 鈥� reflecting the flexibility and reduced overheads of working online. I am also exploring offering face-to-face sessions around Oxfordshire in the near future.

Payment is made by bank transfer - and kindly requested at least 24 hours prior to your appointment, details will be provided separately.
