Counselling

“When a person realizes he has been deeply heard, his eyes moisten.  I think in some real sense he is weeping for joy.  It is as though he were saying, ‘Thank God, somebody heard me.  Someone knows what it’s like to be me’.”

Carl Rogers 1980

Counselling

There are times when life can feel confusing, overwhelming or unclear. You may be holding thoughts or feelings that are difficult to understand, or finding yourself caught in situations that feel stuck or painful.

Counselling offers a space to pause and reflect. It is somewhere you can talk openly about yourself and your life, in confidence, and without fear of judgement. You are free to explore whatever feels important, even when it feels uncertain or hard to put into words.

Through being heard and understood, you may begin to make more sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. This growing awareness can gently support you in finding a way forward that feels right for you.

My work is grounded in the Person-Centred Approach , based on the belief that each person holds an innate capacity for growth, healing and change. I do not direct or advise. Instead, I work alongside you, listening carefully and seeking to understand how things feel from your perspective.

I recognise that it can feel difficult to talk about personal experiences. I aim to bring warmth, empathy and sensitivity to each session, creating an environment where you feel safe enough to explore what matters most.

I see the relationship between counsellor and client as central to the therapeutic process. When you feel accepted and understood, it becomes easier to explore your inner world and begin to move forward in a way that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Counselling can support your emotional wellbeing, helping you develop self-awareness, improve communication, manage stress and find ways of coping that feel more supportive. It can also help you work through difficult emotions and life experiences, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

Taking the first step can feel significant. For this reason, I offer the first half hour of the initial session free of charge, giving us the opportunity to meet and consider whether working together feels right for you.

How Sessions Work

 

Sessions are available online via Google Meet and FaceTime, as well as face-to-face where appropriate, allowing you to choose what feels most comfortable for you.

Individual counselling sessions last 60 minutes, and couples sessions can be up to 90 minutes. Supervision sessions arranged according to your needs.

I offer flexibility in how we work together, recognising that each individual and couple is different.

Payment is made by bank transfer prior to each session. Please feel free to contact me for current pricing, as fees may change, and I would ask you to confirm the fee at the time of booking. Concessions may be available, so please do ask.

Availability

Appointments are available from early morning through to the evening. At the end of each one-hour session, we can agree a time that feels suitable for you to meet again.

It is often helpful to begin with weekly sessions, particularly at the start, although this can be adapted to suit your individual needs.

Getting in Touch

If you feel that I may be able to support you, you are welcome to make contact. We can arrange a brief initial conversation to answer any questions you may have and to consider whether working together feels right for you.

Taking the first step can feel challenging, yet it may also mark the beginning of meaningful change.

I look forward to hearing from you.
