The Approach

I am what is known as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. This simply means I use a number of different therapeutic approaches, ( psychodynamic, person centred, cognitive behavioural and adlerian) where each person is viewed as an individual with different needs from the therapy process. 

​

The approach is kind, genuine  and non-judgmental. During our initial sessions, we will delve  into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter. 

​

I draw on experience from working in the public, private and charity sectors. I  have worked as a counselling lecturer, and have also been a trustee for a large mental health charity. 

​

Fees 

From £80 for Individual Psychotherapy and Counselling. £90 for Couples Relationship Therapy. Please contact me for details of my fees for Hypnotherapy.  

​

The First Session

The first session, is an opportunity for you to discuss your concerns, and explore whether the experience and approach I offer, suits you, and the issues you want to work on. We will discuss any questions or concerns you have about starting therapy, and what you may want to achieve. 

 

If we decide that we are to work together, we will arrange a regular time, and day to meet.
