The starting point is to book an initial consultation where we can talk about what is bringing you to counselling, and what you want to achieve from your sessions, There is no cost to you, and no sales pitch from me.

Just complete the contact form, send it through and I’ll get back to you.

The actual counselling sessions are 50 minutes long and take place over zoom or on the phone, depending on your preference. Usually paid on a session by session basis, unless you choose to book a block of six in advance

If you think you may need a number of sessions, you can pay for five sessions in advance, and the sixth one will be free of charge.

If you don’t use all five sessions, you’ll be refunded for any of the five sessions you don’t use.

I am trained in the use of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), the Person Centered Approach, Psychoanalysis, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). With IFS, I am classed as IFS Aware, which means I have completed training in the use of the IFS approach but not through the IFS Institute.

By short term, I mean 1 to 12 sessions, though three is the shortest time it took a client to achieve what they wanted from the sessions.

My clients have found it useful for bereavement; finding clarity on a particular issue; finding what is driving a particular behaviour; talking through a career change; calming the storm inside their head when they just have too many demands on their time; making sense of significant life changes; calming anxiety; growing self confidence; calming imposter syndrome, and navigating difficult relationships..

Long term therapy is often about fundamentally changing the way you think about yourself, and others. Sometimes it is working with someone whilst they go through a storm that life has thrown at them. Sometimes it is about healing the wounded parts of someone who got hurt as a kid, and helping them become the amazing person they were always meant to be.

The longest I have worked with a client so far is 2 years. That started as weekly sessions, which then switched to once a month as their confidence and self worth grew.
