My fee is £50 per 50-minute hour.

It’s important to find the right therapist for you and I offer a free 30-minute introductory session online so you can decide whether you would like us to work together.

As an integrative counsellor, I aim to see you as a whole person and to tailor sessions to meet your needs by drawing on techniques and understanding from various therapeutic approaches. Integration has another meaning for me: that of becoming whole - becoming more of who we truly are, and discovering our potential.

“To round itself out, life calls not for perfection but for completeness...” Carl Jung

My counselling practice is underpinned by over 25 years of experience working and training in the field of mental health and community support. 

If we work together, I will aim to be fully present with you, to be curious with you, and to be alongside you as you find your way forward. I believe the therapeutic process can help us gain insight into our feelings and experiences, and deepen self-compassion. With greater self-compassion, we can better regulate and cope with difficult emotions, finding a path towards emotional safety and well-being.

It may be helpful for you to explore painful or traumatic memories, thoughts, or experiences that continue to affect your life. I believe it's important that this is done at your own pace. Together, we can attend to how you're feeling as we go, and I can offer techniques to reduce overwhelm and help you feel more grounded.

I also offer creative approaches, such as using art materials or a selection of small objects and figures, to help explore and represent aspects of your experience if this feels helpful to you.

Your life might be affected by discrimination, inequality, or not being accepted for who you are. I offer a space where these experiences can be explored, aiming to set aside assumptions and truly hear you.

Therapy is a place to address what has gone wrong, but it is also a space for discovery and development. I’m interested in what gives your life meaning -whether that is what you believe in or have faith in, your background or community, who you love and connect with, what inspires you, and what makes you who you are.
