Common thoughts that lead people to come to counselling include the following: "I can't get rid of my anger." , "Will this grief never end?" , "Why can't I form meaningful relationships?", "I can't bear living with this anxiety", "I can't see any point in anything.", "Why am I drinking so much?", "I feel so stressed at work all the time." and "I often feel that life is not worth living." When such thoughts and feelings seriously affect our ability to enjoy life then it may be time to think about getting help.

Why do we get stuck in undesirable feelings, thoughts & behaviours? I believe that humans are naturally wired to survive, but sometimes we get stuck in unhelpful survival patterns that we cannot overcome, even though we try very hard to do so! Relationships, adverse childhood experiences, abuse, trauma, loss, ill-health and life circumstances can contribute to unhelpful patterns and ways of being. We are all unique individuals, and what brings us to counselling is very personal to us. Often we self-blame & self-shame and this perpetuates our distress. Being truly heard and offering individual ways to heal underpins my work.

If you are here you are taking your first step towards feeling better. That is courageous and daunting. You may have been feeling anxious or depressed for some time and you are not sure why. Or specific issues in your life are causing worry and stress. You may be navigating life transitions or facing day-to-day challenges. Either way, you feel overwhelmed by your emotions or shut down and disconnected. Or perhaps you have frequently felt 'different' and struggled with things others seem to find easy. You suspect you may be neurodivergent.

Life can feel overwhelming—I get that, as a counsellor and as a fellow human. You might be navigating loss, big changes, or relationship challenges, feeling stuck, numb, or exhausted. That inner critic can be loud, making you feel never good enough. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to do it alone. I believe that counselling can be such a powerful experience in helping you to become unstuck, move forward and to see things from a new perspective. If you're struggling to hold on to hope right now, I can hold it for both of us until things seem a little brighter in your world.

When we first meet, you might be carrying a lot — maybe more than you’ve ever said out loud. You might be feeling anxious, on edge, or stuck in patterns that don’t make sense. Maybe you’ve been through things like domestic abuse, a difficult upbringing, or the emotional weight that can come with parenthood — and now you’re left wondering how to cope, and where to even start. You don’t need fixing, and you’re not looking for someone to tell you what to do. You just want space. Space to talk things through, feel what you need to feel, and not be judged for it. That’s what I offer. I’ll listen — properly. I won’t rush you or tell you

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.
