About the Therapist

About the therapist:

How Can I Help You?

I offer a confidential, safe space where you can explore your issues without judgment. I won’t tell you how to live, I won’t pathologise who you are, instead I will help you to understand yourself better and through that understanding, help you find what’s right for you.

I bring over 20 years’ experience to my practice. I am a generalist, I work with any issues, because I’ve found that all issues connect with each other and often a presenting issue turns into something else as we work on it. However, I have developed some special interests along the way that form the core of my practice.

I generally work on a fixed fee basis: • £70 per session

However, this is negotiable. I recognise that many people are struggling financially and I’d rather find some way of accommodating you if I can. I have a limited number of concessionary places at lower fees if you cannot afford the full fee, especially if you are able to come in the daytime.

If you are a counselling student, then having counselling is part of the training. I am trained in the Person-Centred Approach and so can see students of this approach or those taking a wider Humanistic training. I offer concessions to student counsellors so please ask.
