My services

I have provided counselling to many clients, including through LGBT Foundation, MIND and Headstrong as well as private practice. I have worked with a range of clients, ranging in ages from early 20s through to 70s.

I undertake continuing professional development and also regular supervision.

An area of expertise is LGBTQ+ Counselling but happy to help whatever your sexuality or gender.

Frequently asked questions

What type of therapy do you provide?

I provide person-centred counselling which is a talking therapy, based on the principle that you (the client) is the expert of their own life.

The therapist provides a supportive relationship whereby the client can get to understand themselves better, through gaining more clarity and perspective about what's going on for them in their life.

What can I expect during a session?

We would go at your pace, and explore what you want to explore. Our first session would be about what you want to gain from counselling. 

Each subsequent session would be based on what you wish to explore during that session, and you will feel that we are exploring your issues more deeply, which comes about through the therapeutic relationship.

How many sessions would I need?

There is no set number of sessions - about six would be common but you can have as few, or as many, as you feel that you need. Some clients only want one or two sessions to talk about something, which is absolutely fine. Some clients want a weekly session, others fortnightly and others monthly - whatever works for you.

What happens if I want to stop counselling?

There's no obligation for you to carry on with counselling with me, and you can finish whenever you might want to finish therapy.

Most clients report feeling better after a few sessions and please see the examples of client feedback for a small insight of this.

Which professional body do you work with?

I'm registered with the BACP and I adhere to their ethical framework which is available online.

"I want a client to feel heard and understood, without judgement."
