I offer flexible appointments during weekdays, with some evening and limited weekend availability.

Please contact me to discuss current availability.

I offer a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace. I work in a person-centred and integrative way, recognising that each individual is unique and may require a different approach.

I aim to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. I work collaboratively with clients, supporting them to explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

I understand that seeking support can sometimes feel difficult, and I aim to provide a calm and empathetic environment where clients feel comfortable to share openly. I work with sensitivity and respect for each client’s background, culture, and personal experiences.

Sessions are client-led, and I support clients in developing greater self-awareness, resilience, and coping strategies. I work ethically and professionally, maintaining confidentiality and following professional guidelines.

I offer both short-term and long-term counselling depending on individual needs and goals.

The first session provides an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what has brought you to counselling. We will discuss your current concerns, goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. This session also allows you to ask any questions and decide whether you feel comfortable working with me.

I may ask some general questions about your background, wellbeing, and any relevant history to help me better understand your needs. Where appropriate, I may also use a short assessment to support our work together.

The first session is also an opportunity to discuss confidentiality, boundaries, and how we will work together. We will agree on session frequency and any practical arrangements.

There is no obligation to continue after the first session.
