Whatever brings you to counselling I will create a safe space for you to able to explore this in detail. I also offer some strategies that may help with your presenting issues. For example, a lot of my clients will present with anxiety. I am interested in how our bodies tell us how we feel which may be at odds with how we think we should feel. A lot of anxiety manifests itself as negative thought which can be overwhelming. Breaking this down into physical and emotional responses can help us 'sit' with uncomfortable feelings, helping to process emotions. I help clients identify how their bodies tell them what they are feeling and have some practical interventions, such as breathing techniques, that can be used away from the therapy session to help manage anxiety better. Once clients build up confidence in techniques that they find helpful, we can start to unpick or challenge the negative thoughts that lie behind the feelings, enabling the client to move forward.

I deal with a variety of presenting issues and will go at your pace and focus on what you want. You are the expert on yourself and my role is to help you get to a place where you can feel more confident about what you feel and more confident in how you manage yourself.

FAQ

How many sessions will I need?

This is entirely up to you. Some clients are very focussed and only want a few sessions to look at a specific issue. Others take longer and want something more open ended. I will discuss this with you at our initial session and we will review as we go along. I usually expect a client to have 6 sessions before we review  where we are up to.

​

What happens if I cancel or get ill?

No problem -  these things happen. However, if not enough notice is given (24hrs), then you may be charged for the full session. 

​

Do I have to attend every week?

Most sessions are weekly, especially the initial ones. This is due to the nature of the  work and establishing the relationship between us. However I am aware that for some people they are unable to make this commitment every week, so I am flexible, for example I see some clients  every 2 weeks.

​

How much does it cost?

£55 for 50 min session.
