Life can be a challenge. I have a warm approach and experience of working with clients dealing with issues such as relationship difficulties – including betrayals and breakups – anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, addiction and bereavement. I'm also trained in helping adults impacted by ADHD.
As a person-centred counsellor, my role is to create a safe, supportive space where you have the freedom to talk about how you're feeling with someone who isn’t a friend or a family member, and reflect on what you want from life. With this support can come clarity, healing and growth.

Enowi means spark or ember in Kernewek, and that meaning threads through my work. I’m drawn to people whose inner light feels dimmed—those navigating trauma, anxiety, panic attacks, overwhelm, burnout, low mood, dissociation, emotional flashbacks, identity shifts or attachment wounds. I also support couples facing communication breakdowns, conflict, intimacy issues, trust ruptures, infidelity, attachment clashes or repeating patterns. I offer a warm, steady space to slow down, regulate, understand and gently reignite what’s been lost.

I have worked with and supported individuals with a range of complex mental health difficulties for over twenty years, initially as a nurse and now as a qualified CBT therapist . Many of my clients have needed an alternative way to view their situation to 'free' them from the distress they have been experiencing, along with a tailored tool box of coping strategies which they can choose from to empower them to manage the challenging experience. I have helped adolescent & adults experiencing OCD, PTSD, psychosis and/or complex emotional/relational difficulties, where the intervention required has been stress/anxiety targeted.

Sometimes it all becomes too much! An unexpected challenge, too many demands, not enough time... With help we can find an internal space where we can fortify and support ourself, a space where we feel we belong. As social beings we can be empowered with and through others to thrive and create, but sometimes those close to us cannot give us what we need. I am here to be that support.
My work as a therapist, for children and adults, is a privilege and I will be committed to professionally guiding and supporting your growth.
Along with my therapy work I am a Clinical Supervisor, developmentally supporting those supporting others.

I believe we all deserve to feel truly heard and that sometimes the smallest moments of connection can make the biggest difference. I’m a warm, approachable, person-centred counsellor offering a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent eight years as a funeral director, supporting people through bereavement and loss. This experience gave me a deep understanding of grief in all its forms and the importance of having somewhere safe to express difficult emotions.

Hi, I hope your search for a therapist is going well. It can be a difficult process, but it is important to find a therapist who feels right for you. The relationship with your therapist is, on average, more helpful than their training and experience. Person-centred therapy is a relationship. It is not dependent on medical diagnoses, yet can help with all conditions. It is well proven to be as effective as other leading therapies, but uniquely it puts the client at the centre of the process. There is no 'you have x or y' or 'you should do this'. The right questions, and answers, will come from within in our conversations.

I am an approachable, experienced Integrative therapist with over 15 years experience whose aim is to help alleviate anxiety and get to the roots of the disharmony that you may currently experience in your life. My core training was Person Centred Therapy however I incorporate extensive knowledge of Attachment Theory and Childhood Trauma into my approach.This acknowledges the huge impact our early months/years can have on our emotional (and physical) health and well-being. My most recent training in Internal Family Systems also informs my approach and is a powerful model for understanding the mind as a system of different parts.

Providing a therapeutic space for adults of all ages across NHS, charity, community, and private settings since completing doctorate level training in 2006, I have supported individuals facing significant life challenges, offering a relationship in which experiences have been shared, clarified, and understood. The holistic impact of our experiences on all parts of the person, and upon our external connections, is always acknowledged, and I work collaboratively with all clients to establish therapeutic aims and suitable approaches to facilitate the reduction of distress, and identify actions to re-establish ownership in living.

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.
