Is life feeling a little bit too much right now? Perhaps you are going through a time of change, or just feel that things aren’t quite right. Do you feel the need to make some time to untangle your thoughts and figure out your next steps? Counselling offers a non-judgmental, compassionate and confidential space where you can begin to move forward, making positive changes and living life on your own terms.
In therapy, you can:
Make sense of your thoughts and feelings
Find better ways to cope with stress and anxiety
Heal from past experiences
Improve your relationships
Build confidence and self-compassion
Work towards solutions for challenging situations
What counselling can give you:
A safe, non-judgmental space: In therapy, you are free to share exactly what is on your mind, knowing that you won’t be judged and that it will be held in confidence.
Understanding & empowerment: We’ll explore what brought you to counselling and work together to move forward.
New ways of thinking, acting and being: Counselling helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, work towards positive changes that stick.
Growing self-understanding, self-esteem & confidence: Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you feel more like yourself and more at ease living your life, your way.
What can I help with?
I work with adults who are experiencing:
Anxiety, stress or overwhelm
Low mood or depression
Trauma or painful past experiences
Grief, loss and bereavement
Low self-esteem or self-criticism
Life transitions, identity changes or feeling “lost”
Relationship or family difficulties
Life transitions, feeling “stuck” or “lost”, or a desire for greater self-confidence
You don’t need a clear reason to seek therapy; many people come simply because something doesn’t feel right.
Whether you’re navigating current challenges or working through deeper-rooted issues, I’m here to support you.
Next Steps
Reach out for a free 15-minute call or book your first session
Weekly sessions (in person or online) are recommended. However, this is your journey, and you set the pace and the agenda.
Make time for reflection: Much of the growth happens in between sessions. This is when you will feel things shifting, and discover new ways to think, act and feel. Over time, you will approach life with more ease and self-understanding.
Pricing
I offer time-limited or open-ended therapy, either face-to-face or online
I charge £60 for a full hour session. While a standard counselling hour is often 50 minutes, the extra 10 minutes allows for a deeper exploration without feeling rushed.
I do offer discounts via prepaid block packages, which are often more cost-effective in the long term. I also offer discounted sessions to counsellors in training and people on very low incomes.
If you are unsure if counselling feels right for you, or you just want someone to talk to about a single issue on a one-off basis, please book a half-hour introductory session. These are £35/half hour.
I also offer a 15-minute free introductory call to chat about what you are looking for before you commit to therapy.
Contact
I offer a free 15-minute telephone or online consultation with no pressure or obligation.
Take that first step towards making changes in your life.
I aim to respond to all messages on the same or the next working day.
