It’s a free call, up to 30 minutes. It’s for you to ask any questions that you have and to get a feel for me as a therapist and as a person.

Yes! Who you choose as your therapist is a really personal choice. Probably the most important aspect of therapy is a good relationship between the therapist and the client. Really it’s about who you like, who you connect with and crucially who you feel that you can trust.

You do not need to know up front. Some people like to come prepared with a list of things to talk about, others like to come and see what feels important in the moment.

Absolutely not! You’re the expert of your life. I’m here to help you understand your self better so that you know what to do.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of sessions. You might come with a number of sessions in mind, or continue until you feel content.

You can decide how quickly you want to move. We can get straight into it, or build safety and trust before carefully progressing.

This is up to you. Most of my clients come either weekly or every other week.

If you need ongoing support and a space to process then I would recommend every other week.

If you are wanting to work on specific issues and want to see real progress I’d recommend every week.

I have an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy from Keele University. I specialise in person-centred therapy.

Along with working in private practice I have experience working in different roles within the NHS, supporting cancer patients and the bereaving. I have also worked in the university setting, working with students.

I’m also a therapy tutor at a couple of colleges, which keeps me on my toes with theory! As well as a trustee for The Person Centred Association.
