About me and my practice

I offer a non-judgmental space and a therapeutic relationship within which you will feel safe enough to explore whatever issues you are facing. I will treat you with respect, make every effort to understand you and your experiences, and offer a genuine, empathic relationship.

Experience

I have been in private practice since 2001. I worked as a staff counsellor with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and am an affiliate counsellor with several UK Employee Assistance Providers (EAPs) offering therapy to Government departments as well as the private sector.

I have worked with the Young Persons Advisory Service (YPAS) in Liverpool, the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM), as well as with several other agencies.

I have also designed and delivered therapy-related workshops.

Additional Information

Therapy is about self-discovery and, where relevant, finding solutions which are right for you, rather than receiving advice or being told what to do. I will endeavour to faciliate this journey for you.

Initial Consultation

At your initial session, you can talk about why you have come for counselling and ask questions about how the process works. During this and subsequent sessions, you will be encouraged to express your feelings and thoughts, explore the issues which are troubling you, and discover ways of living more resourcefully.

Fees

£50 for a 50-minute counselling session.
£60 for a one-hour Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) session.

My normal hours are Monday to Thursday from 9 am until 5 pm and Fridays from 9 am until 1 pm.

Appointments can sometimes be scheduled outside of these hours.
