We live in uncertain and challenging times, and it can be difficult for us to take care of ourselves. Things can seem overwhelming, and it can be comforting to carry on repeating patterns of behaviour that are unhelpful, but feel safe as we know the outcome, even though we feel that at times something is missing, that we are not happy, or we feel stuck, or unable to find calmness.
My Approach
I work in a way known as integrative. This means I draw upon various theories and approaches that help me in understanding the needs of my clients. I believe that the quality of the relationship between counsellor and client is fundamental to a good therapeutic outcome.
I understand that taking the first step towards finding professional help and support can be daunting.
Sometimes we need help and support beyond our friends and family, someone to really listen to us, a skilled professional who can explore with us the difficulties that life brings. I have helped many people with a variety of problems, and have seen the change that a good, trusting therapeutic relationship can bring.
What I offer
I can offer short or longer-term therapy depending on your needs. At our initial meeting we can discuss your needs, and what you feel may be best for you.
If we feel we can work together, we can discuss what you would like to work on. We can then begin to explore in more depth what has brought you to therapy.
Fees
I offer a free 30-minute consultation. You can then decide if you want to book your first session.
Sessions last 50 minutes and cost £40. I am available from Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
I offer low-cost therapy for people on low income and those who are unwaged/unemployed. If you would like to discuss the options, please get in touch.
