Through my private practice of providing a confidential counselling service, my approach is pure person-centred in working to cover a wide range of concerns involving any maladaptive coping mechanisms, emotional dysregulation, attachment issues, and patterns of relating. During sessions, I work to create a warm, inviting space free from my own needs or expectations, allowing for you to unpack any thoughts into a judgement-free space. Through this work together, we can allow for the greatest chance of a brighter understanding and for a more meaningful, connected, authentic self to emerge.

Counsellor, DCounsPsych, MBACP
I imagine if you are reading this, you or someone you know needs help understanding or coping with something that is going on right now. If this is the case I am sorry you or they are finding things difficult. I understand that trying to choose a therapist is also a daunting task. I remember how I felt when seeking therapeutic help. I felt anxious and wondered if I could share things with a complete stranger. Probably the most important thing is that you meet someone you can get on with and build trust. The 15 minuite free call I offer will hopefully provide an opportunity for us to get to know each other a little.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, caught in patterns you don’t fully understand, or unsure why certain emotions keep returning, no matter how gently you try to move them aside. Maybe you react in ways that don’t feel like “you,” or you’re finding it harder to stay calm, motivated, or connected. Many people I support describe anxiety, stress, anger, low motivation, or feeling lost. What they long for is clarity, relief, and real, lasting change to feel grounded, connected, and more like themselves again.

Counsellor, MBACP
If you’ve been carrying something heavy; perhaps not able to talk about it with anyone, feeling a sense of sadness, feeling emotionally numb, or just feeling stuck in a cycle which is taking you further from yourself and others. Maybe you’ve been through something painful that no one fully saw or understood. Or perhaps you’ve learned to carry it all quietly, but it’s starting to feel too much. Painful difficult experiences stay with us, even when we think we’ve moved on. They can echo quietly in the background and shape our choices, our relationships, and even the way we imagine the future, often without us realising it.

Your experiences are unique to you. But you don't have to navigate them alone. I offer you a safe space in which to understand what you're going through. Come to accept it. And find a way to continue living your life, self-aware and empowered. It's normal to feel anxious, isolated, confused, and even scared. You may feel unsupported, as though there's nothing for you at this critical time. Moving forward can feel impossible... So, we work together to make sense of a world that's changing. To understand what that could look like, for you. To regain control, ready for your next step.

With 25yrs experience, I now seek to work with three main client groups. 1) Clients who've reached a deeper understanding of their issues, symptoms & diagnoses (via therapy &/or self-help etc), but have found that these insights have not been sufficient to end their distress. 2) Parents/carers/educators struggling with youngsters who can be violent or self-destructive, for whom traditional reward & punishment approaches fail to help (or indeed actually escalate the problem). 3) Parent-child reluctance/refusal dynamics. I can help parents who are experiencing, ‘parental alienation’, and equally, those being falsely accused of it.

I work with people stuck in patterns they don't fully understand. Maybe you're anxiously trying to get your partner to show up differently, or avoiding speaking up because you're afraid of their response. Perhaps you know what to do but can't seem to do it - you have ideas but struggle to commit. Maybe you know it’s time to move on but can't seem to let things go. Or perhaps you feel anxious, flat, or lonely even when life looks fine. My approach helps you integrate the reality of where you stand in the here and now, so you can finally move. We work with suppressed emotions, limiting beliefs, and the parts you've learned to reject.

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.
