I have a L4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (CPCAB) and I am also a Registered and Accredited Counsellor with the Association of Christian Counsellors. I am accepting, empathic and supportive and my personal integration includes aspects of Humanistic, TA and Psychodynamic Theories. I offer one to one, face to face counselling (as well as Skype or Facetime). The first session would be an assessment session which is a chance for you to meet me and see whether you feel comfortable with me and whether I am the best person to work with you. After this initial session, and if you feel you could work with me, you can decide whether you would like either short-term or longer-term therapy.

Therapy sessions last for 50 mins and my fee is £35 per session (this can be paid at the beginning or end of each session) and I do offer some discretionary rates, depending on circumstances. Regular attendance is important to develop consistency in the counselling relationship and we would agree a set time and day, but if you have to cancel a session I would ask for 48 hours notice or the full fee for the counselling session will have to be charged.

To ensure you receive the best possible service from me, I maintain regular Professional Supervision (which is confidential) and I also undergo regular Continual Professional Development throughout the year
