I have some availability

Life can sometimes feel hard to bare and at times we come across challenges in our lives that are difficult to face on our own. As a person centred counsellor, my aim is to help you explore and work through these difficulties and help guide you to navigate ways to better recognise the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. By working together we can try to help you find ways in which you may start to move forward towards a happier and more fulfilling way to live your life.

Many of us cope by holding on to our feelings for fear of being judged by others. We may find it too hard to share the deep rooted thoughts and feelings we are experiencing so instead we sit with them on our own. We may feel apprehensive about seeking therapy and speaking to a stranger for fear of not feeling accepted or understood. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental, confidential, safe space to help you feel valued, heard, understood and respected unconditionally throughout your counselling experience.

Sometimes you may seek therapy for things that are gong on in the present and at times you may want to explore things from the past that are deep rooted and difficult to talk about. Acknowledging these difficult events is the first step to exploring them and peeling back the layers from the past in order to be able to move forward more positively in the future.

I have experience working with a range of issues including Anxiety, Abuse, Trauma, Loss, Relationship, Self esteem, Grief, Cancer, addiction

I appreciate that reaching out and looking for support can be a difficult step to take and sharing what's going on for you with a stranger can feel overwhelming. I am also aware that the relationship between therapist and client must be a comfortable one where trust and rapport can be built. I am happy to offer a free-of-charge first consultation via on-line or telephone. This will give us a chance to discuss what your needs are and what I can offer you while working together.

In my practice I can offer face-to-face in Theydon Bois in Epping CM16. These sessions are charged at £60 per 50-minutes. 

I also offer telephone and online counselling for those preferring remote sessions. These sessions are charged at £50 per 50-minutes.

I also offer walk and talk therapy. These sessions are charged at £60 per 50-minute.

I also offer concessional rates 

I offer a free of charge initial consultation which will be for 20 minutes. This will give us a chance to discuss how we will work together, what your needs are and what I am able to offer you. This will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. This will allow you to know how comfortable you feel within  the safe space provided should you wish to proceed with further appointments.
