Hello and a very warm welcome to you!

Why Seek Counselling & Psychotherapy?
Therapy can help you to better manage and cope with a number of things, including issues with relationships, bereavement, anger, stress, depression and issues with self-esteem. This list is by no means exhaustive. Therapy can help with long-term physical health problems, difficult life events such as losing your job, divorce, trauma (PTSD) and many other issues. Sometimes, simply speaking to a professional can make all the difference. Friends may not always understand, whereas a counsellor and psychotherapist can offer understanding and provide clarity, while you speak in a safe, confidential space.
What Are The Benefits Of Counselling & Psychotherapy?
There are many benefits to therapy. It is recognised as a preventative measure and a form of self-care in managing difficult feelings before they get worse.
How do sessions work?
I offer remote therapy (usually via Zoom) on a one to one basis, lasting for one hour, can be a single one-off session, weekly or for a longer duration, all of which is negotiable to suit your needs. If you are unsure if counselling is for you, I can offer a free 10 minute telephone call to talk through any worries or concerns you may have and to see if I am the right person for you. Alternatively, booking an initial session can often help in your decision about whether therapy is right for you and there is no pressure or obligation to continue after the initial session.
