Your story deserves to be met with kindness
You may be carrying worries that have stayed with you for a long time. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed or simply not quite yourself. Perhaps relationships feel difficult, old memories have resurfaced, or life has begun to lose its sense of direction.
I believe each of us carries an inner world that deserves to be met with kindness, curiosity and compassion. Our struggles are rarely random. They often have roots in our relationships, our childhood experiences and the ways we have learned to navigate life.
Together, we can gently begin to understand your story and discover what it may be asking of you.
More about me
Two ways of working, shaped around you
I tailor our work to your individual needs rather than following a single therapeutic model.
Counselling
Sometimes we need support with a particular challenge or life event. Short-term counselling gives you a compassionate space to explore what is happening right now.
Learn morePsychotherapy
At other times the same patterns keep repeating. Longer-term psychotherapy is the opportunity to explore those patterns more deeply, and where they began.
Learn moreCouples Therapy
Couples rarely come to therapy because they have stopped loving one another. More often they have lost their way beneath the pressures of everyday life.
Learn moreA quiet room where you can think out loud
I work from my private practice in Aylestone, Leicester, as well as online throughout the UK.
How therapy begins, step by step
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process, and there is never any pressure to continue.
A free 30-minute conversation
Either by telephone or online. You can tell me what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and discover whether you feel comfortable talking with me.
Your first session
Fifty minutes, in person in Leicester or online. A warm, thoughtful and confidential space where we begin to explore your experience together.
We review as we go
There is no set timescale. Some people benefit from a brief period of therapy, others explore their inner world over longer. We review our work together as it unfolds.
“Therapy offers a calm, reflective space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted, just as you are.”
Shaun LewisSimple, transparent fees
Sessions are £60 for 50 minutes, the same for individual therapy and for couples. Your first telephone consultation is free of charge, so you can decide without committing to anything.
It would be a privilege to walk alongside you
If you're wondering whether therapy might be right for you, I offer a free 30-minute consultation. There is no pressure and no obligation. I'd be delighted to hear from you.
