Counselling in Cults
Everybody Hurts. Sometimes, we could do with a bit of help with that and everyone, of any gender or identity, is welcome at my person-centred practice. However, with over two decades of experience working with women, I recognise that women and girls often face challenges of subtle and specific nuance whether at home, at work, or inside your own head.
The journey through life for everyone can sometimes feel fraught whether that stress be physical, psychological, emotional, financial, societal, sexual or general.
Personal, professional, deeply private, or a combination of all.

Hello, I am a Psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner, Dramatherapist and Clinical Supervisor. In therapy, participants are supported to use creative expression to set goals, solve problems, express feelings and achieve improved mental health. Together in therapy there will be opportunities to consider how your personal life informs the way you experience the world. My work is influenced by trauma-informed approaches, which allow us to look at ourselves and understand why we may suffer. I am also a qualified secondary school teacher with extensive experience of working with people with trauma, autism, ADHD, anxiety, bereavement and loss.

Are you feeling trapped, stuck and finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? The daily life feels tasteless and numb to you. You seem to remember who you used to be, but who you are, at this stage, uneasy, emotional, is very foreign to you. On the counselling journey with me, I will explore and assist you to trace down to the rootcauses of these symptoms (e.g. palpitations, panic, low mood, anger), and release the stuck parts in you from the past memories and present experiences.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Life is complex, and our needs shift and evolve over time. As a humanist and integrative therapist, I draw on a range of approaches to shape our work together, because no two people experience life in the same way.
For me, therapy is a space where we can be fully human together — a place to sit with the tough questions, explore uncertainty, and gently discover new ways of understanding ourselves. My practice is both neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed, offering a compassionate and flexible space for whatever you bring.

A warm welcome. As a trained therapist in somatic psychology, I believe that we are all born with inner resources that we inherit and embody and which are there to support us during hard times. What we often do not inherit are the skills in tapping into those resources. Being able to grow in capacity to help yourself with a gentle help of a practitioner is always a huge step in the right direction. In my practice, I will support you by tapping into your psycho-somatic experiences through reflective expression, widening inner awareness, emotional balancing and creating openness for change.

As a COSCA Accredited person-centred counsellor I provide a place of safety and confidentiality where you can discuss openly what is troubling you, a place where you’ll be listened to.

Maybe you have suffered a loss or a bereavement and need help to find your way of moving on. I will be accepting and non-judgemental of what you have to say and work with you to help you find your answer.

I work with adults as well as young people, who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, experiencing low mood or struggling with relationships and life challenges.

I also support individuals navigating identity, belonging, and LGBTQ+ related concerns.

I specialise in supporting adults who live in rural communities, who feel overwhelmed, isolated, or impacted by significant life challenges. Many of my clients are managing the emotional strain of career-ending illness or injury, trauma, divorce, grief and loss - including the often overlooked grief that can accompany the loss of animals.
I frequently work with people who are under pressure to keep going while experiencing anxiety, depression, or issues relating to diagnosis of ADHD or autism. Rural life can bring unique stresses and many people feel they must cope alone.

You may have spent years looking after others, being the responsible one, while hiding parts of yourself that feel vulnerable or hard to share. Perhaps you're beginning to realise that your ways of coping may no longer serve you. You may be feeling exhausted, carrying self-doubt, a sense of loneliness, or worrying of disappointing others. Together, we can explore where these ways of relating to yourself and others began, and come to understand the parts of you that learned to adapt, protect, or stay safe. As we make sense of your story, you can begin to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

You may be someone who has spent much of your life putting others first - being thoughtful, capable, reliable, and trying to get things “right.” Yet underneath that, you may feel disconnected from who you are, unsure of what you want, or like something no longer quite fits.
I work with women who feel lost in their sense of self, often after years of prioritising the needs and expectations of others, or during times of change such as menopause, relationship difficulties, divorce, or life transitions.
Many of the women I work with struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundaries, or feeling “too much” or not enough.

Life can be complex and from time to time you may look for someone to journey with you and support you for a while as you find a way to deal with certain challenges and difficulties. You may be dealing with difficult emotions like anxiety, depression, anger or worry which is affecting your peace of mind and happiness and would like to explore new skills, strategies and solutions to get through this. Or perhaps you may be looking for ways to enhance your life, build resilience or deal with life changes and transitions. Maybe you would like to find healing from trauma, or deal with intercultural, racial, or spiritual concerns.

You might feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns you don’t know how to change. You may overthink everything, struggle with procrastination or time management, and feel frustrated that everyday tasks seem to take more effort than they should. On the outside, you might look like you’re coping, while inside your mind feels busy, noisy, or constantly behind.
Many people I work with are exploring ADHD in adulthood. Alongside relief, this realisation can bring confusion, grief, or a sense of loss for how life might have been. You may be questioning yourself, your past, or why things felt harder for so long.

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.
