Before the first session

Speak with me before deciding.

The initial call gives us approximately 15 minutes to discuss what has brought you to counselling, any practical questions and whether working together may feel right. It is a conversation with me, the practitioner named on this page, and does not commit you to a session.

Support shaped around you

A conversation with a person, not a fixed formula.

I work in a humanistic, integrative way, with warmth, empathy and respect for your experience. I draw on Person-Centred counselling, Transactional Analysis and CBT where they fit your needs. The relationship we build is central to the work.

Counselling can begin with a particular concern, a difficult experience or a feeling you cannot yet put into words. You do not need a diagnosis or a polished explanation before getting in touch.
