What I can help with

Many people ask for help around specific issues, such as those listed below. I’m interested in understanding what you’re going through in the context of your life, including your past experiences, current circumstances and the world around you, rather than seeing you through a single diagnosis or labels, although I am trained in and work with diagnosis if it feels useful to you.

Anxiety
Trauma / PTSD and difficult and distressing past experiences
Low self-esteem / self-confidence
Low mood / depression
Stress and burnout
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Understanding and navigating neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, Autism)
Difficulty managing emotions
Navigating long-term pain and other health conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, hEDS, IBS).

*please note, I am unable to offer support to those experiencing a mental health crisis (including self-harm/sucidality) or active addiction to illicit substances or alcohol, if you require urgent care please contact your GP or call NHS 111. If you feel yourself, or others, may be at risk of harm please attend A&E or call the emergency services.

What to expect

First of all, we will have a 15 minute consultation via phone or video, to decide if you would like to work with me and if I have the right skill set for you.

If we decide to work together, we will meet regularly, usually once a week or every two weeks. Our first sessions will focus on understanding what's brought you to therapy, trying to get a better picture of what's happening (and why) and come up with a plan. We will explore what's going on currently and what's brought you to this moment.

We'll then weave in therapy approaches that are rooted in research, as we continue to explore what's happening for you. These are tailored to your needs, preferences and hopes for therapy. As well as talking, my way of working also provides the opportunity to learn and practice different practical skills and strategies to help you in the here and now. These including meditation, mindfulness, journalling, visualisation and trying out new things.

I am trained in a range of therapy approaches including EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and more. If you are interested in the nuts and bolts, you can find out more about these here.

Fees

Self-funded therapy sessions are typically charged at £115 per session, each session is 55 minutes. Some therapies may require longer appointments and are charged accordingly, we would always discuss this beforehand.

I am a registered clinician with BUPA and WPA health insurance providers. Therapy appointments may be set at different rates depending on the rates set by that provider.
