Counselling in Hereford
I am a fully qualified and accredited integrative therapist, experienced in working with both couples and individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I believe we all hold the potential to live as our best selves: content, and at peace. The key to this lies in understanding ourselves more deeply.
Some clients come to me in the midst of crisis, seeking immediate support, while others may be generally content but want guidance in moving forward with their lives. A central part of therapy often involves exploring how past experiences have shaped the person you are today, and how that awareness can help you create meaningful change.

You might be feeling stuck in the same patterns, where no matter what you do, things don’t seem to change. Life and relationships can feel exhausting, and you may be struggling with feelings of hopelessness. You might be tired from trying to hold everything together or feel overwhelmed and anxious whenever you try to think about what’s going on. If any of this sounds familiar, therapy can be a helpful place to start making sense of it all. Together, we can explore what’s going on for you, without pressure or judgment. We’ll begin to unpack the patterns that might be keeping you stuck, including those rooted in early experiences.

For so many of us, life can be challenging. You might feel anxious, depressed, frustrated, stuck, alone, angry, stressed, sad, or many of these at once, and I understand that it can sometimes be difficult opening up to family or friends. Perhaps you have had a recent change in your life that has brought on these feelings; maybe you feel you’d like to know more about yourself, or things might have been getting increasingly difficult for you over time. Whatever's going on for you, my role is to support you in working through your difficulties, helping you to strengthen and grow your coping mechanisms.

I support adults (17+) who are living with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress, burnout, grief, loss, and the impact of difficult life transitions. Many people also come to me because of relationship difficulties, partnership conflict, or the emotional strain of menopause and other life‑stage changes. I also work with individuals adjusting to a life‑limiting diagnosis, supporting them to find steadiness, meaning, and connection in the midst of uncertainty. Each person has their own way of coping after a crisis, bereavement, or major change, sadness, guilt, shock, anger and frustration.

Many of the men I work with have spent years pushing things down, coping alone, or feeling they should just “get on with it” — until life becomes too heavy to carry quietly.
I work specifically with men and understand that starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or difficult to talk about. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and be properly heard.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 25 years working in the construction industry, with some of that time spent running my own business. I understand the pressures many men carry — the expectation to cope and keep going.

Life can be complex and often overwhelming, leaving us at times feeling isolated and alone even when we are surrounded by people. As such there might be many different reasons why people come into counselling. Sometimes the issues we experience have clear causes and explanations and at other times it might feel less obvious and harder therefore to identify. What I would hope to offer you is a place that feels safe, supportive and confidential where you are able to explore whatever it is for you personally that you want to address without fear of judgement and criticism.

My clients are people who have reached a point in their lives where they no longer feel themselves; no longer feel comfortable with life, or for whom something overwhelming has happened or is happening which they can't easily deal with. Such crossroads are met by us all sooner or later and having some help, knowing we are not alone can make all the difference. I will give you time, space and opportunity to be heard; to be able to explain and explore your feelings knowing that I will listen without judgement but offering you another perspective so that you can find your own solutions.

Counselling is about being listened to, heard and understood. It is about having a voice and telling our story and how it has affected us. It is about being seen. It is about not judging but understanding that we did the best we could at the time under those conditions. It is about understanding our reactions, our feelings, our behaviour and how it affects us and others. It is taking a look at the beliefs and rules we have absorbed over the years from family, school, culture and things that have happened to us. It is being aware of those hidden beliefs that secretly influence our thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It takes courage.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
