Beginning therapy is a deeply personal decision

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by a particular difficulty or have a sense that something in your life no longer feels quite right, I offer a warm, thoughtful and confidential space where we can begin to explore your experience together.

Our first conversation, either by telephone or online, is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. You can tell me what has brought you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and most importantly, discover whether you feel comfortable talking with me.

Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process, and there is never any pressure to continue.

Counselling: support with what is happening now

Sometimes we need support with a particular challenge or life event. Short-term counselling provides a compassionate space to explore what is happening in your life right now, helping you gain clarity, strengthen your emotional wellbeing and develop new ways of moving forward.

Drawing upon Psychodynamic, Jungian, Relationship Therapy, CBT, Person-Centred and Solution Focused approaches, I tailor our work to your individual needs rather than following a single therapeutic model.

  • Gain clarity about what is happening in your life right now
  • Strengthen your emotional wellbeing
  • Develop new ways of moving forward

Psychotherapy: when the same patterns keep returning

At other times, it can feel as though the same patterns continue to repeat themselves, whether in relationships, emotions or the way we experience ourselves. Longer-term psychotherapy offers the opportunity to explore these patterns more deeply.

Together we can gently consider how childhood experiences, significant relationships and unconscious ways of relating may continue to influence your life today. This isn't about dwelling in the past. It's about understanding how your story has shaped you and discovering new possibilities for the future.

There is no set timescale. Some people benefit from a relatively brief period of therapy, while others choose to explore their inner world over a longer period. We will regularly review our work together, ensuring that therapy continues to meet your needs.

Online sessions throughout the UK

I work with adults, young adults (18+) and couples from my private practice in Aylestone, Leicester, as well as online throughout the UK.

Online sessions run for the same fifty minutes and cost the same as meeting in person. For many people they simply make therapy possible, whether that's because of distance, work, health or childcare.
