Psychotherapy + Counselling

Some of the things I might support you with are:

Reducing anxiety and overwhelm

Moving through difficult life changes or challenges

Improving self esteem

Lifting low mood

Recovering from burn-out, feeling run down and wrung out

Addressing a difficult relationship with food or your body

Exploring unmasking and self identity after late-diagnosis autism

Finding it difficult to move on from a traumatic life event or experience

Chronic pain or fatigue

I meet you where you are at, respect your individuality & aim to be a steady anchor for you throughout your time of therapy with me. We may meet some moments that are challenging to explore but we will only ever go at a pace or depth that you feel supported at.

Psychotherapy and Counselling sessions offer you a confidential and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in ways that make sense to you.

I am here to listen, to truly hear you, and to facilitate new understanding and perspective of the challenges and issues that you experiencing.

Together from here we can create new solutions and paths forward to help you feel more steady and resourced within yourself.

My Approach

I have a tool kit of many different modalities that include behavioural, humanistic, creative, cognitive, person-centred and somatic therapies.

I draw on what best suits your way of communicating, processing and your needs at the time. It's not your role to fit my tools, but rather it's for me to use my skills and experience in accordance with who you are & what you bring to the space.

We are all different and helping you to be fully you is part of what I'm here for.

You can read more about my approach, experience and qualifications in the About Me page.

How Sessions Work

Therapy sessions are for 60 minutes and usually start off either weekly or fortnightly in order to have some momentum. These are usually scheduled at the same set time, but some flexibility is available. We will then decide together during the course of therapy when to reduce or finish sessions.

I work on an open-ended basis - there is no commitment to a set number of sessions. I do suggest however making a 'soft' commitment to at least 6 sessions. This gives us both time to understand the issues that have brought you to counselling, to form our collaborative relationship and to allow change to happen.

Fees

Pre-session zoom call (30 mins): No charge

1 hour sessions: £65

Our initial zoom call is a chance for us to meet so you can see if I'm the right person to support you. It also gives us a starting point if we do decide to work together and means our first session isn't taken up with some initial admin.

Please feel free to email me to ask more or to organise an initial call.
