Counselling & Therapy

Most people find it difficult to seek help of any kind but it can be particularly hard when you are struggling to cope with emotional issues. Sitting in a small room with a stranger talking about your problems or the challenges you are facing can be daunting. Making an appointment can take courage but it is worth it if you want to safely and confidentially explore the obstacles that are getting in the way of living the life you seek.

I work using the principles of client centred counselling, Gestalt therapy and Somatic Experiencing. I focus on what is happening in the moment with no judgement or interpretation. My approach is relational and caring, creative and spontaneous with a focus on the nervous system and the impact it has on the emotions and the body.

My aim is to increase your sense of connection to yourself and others; your feeling of being comfortable in your own experience, your own skin.

How Do I Work?

Our first session gives us a chance to check each other out. One of the most important aspects of counselling and therapy is the relationship that we create together, so it is vital that you feel comfortable working with me. I welcome any questions you may have about my background and therapeutic approach, or about the practicalities of the way that I work.  I’ll give you some information and we’ll complete some paperwork.  

Sessions run for 60 minutes and can be done weekly, fortnightly or monthly over a short or long period of time. They can be done face to face, by telephone or online. Fees are discussed when we arrange our first session, taking into account your financial circumstances. Payment is due either before or at each session. Payment by bank transfer is due in advance of scheduled appointments for online and telephone sessions.  24 hours’ notice of cancellation is required, and if an alternative time cannot be scheduled in that week the full session fee may be charged.
