What I can help with

People come to me for many different reasons and not everyone arrives with a clear label or explanation for what they’re experiencing. I understand people’s experiences as complex and shaped by their history and life context and I also work with diagnosis when it’s helpful. Many people ask for help around specific issues, such as those listed below:

Anxiety (e.g., worry, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety)
Trauma and navigating difficult and distressing past experiences
Low self-esteem / self-criticism
Low mood / depression
Work and life stress (including burnout)
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Understanding and navigating neurodivergence (e.g. ADHD, Autism) and therapy tailored to this
Difficulty managing emotions
Managing and understanding long-term pain/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), 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 discussion (phone or online) to decide if you would like to work with me and if I have the right skill set for you. If you would like to go ahead with this, you can contact me to book in by clicking here.

If we decide to work together, we will begin to meet regularly, usually once a week or every two weeks - it may be more or less frequently, depending on what we agree together. Our first sessions will focus on understanding what's brought you to therapy, mapping out your difficulties and coming up with a plan.

We will continue to meet regularly and work together using therapy approaches tailored to your goals. The therapy I offer makes space for exploring past and current experiences - I have found that often it is helpful to understand the past to get a full understanding of what is going on now. As well as talking, the therapy I offer also provides the opportunity to learn and practice different practical skills and strategies. I am trained in a range of therapy approaches including EMDR, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and more. 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.

Therapy provided through private health insurance companies may be charged at a different rate, depending on the rates set by that provider. I am currently registered with WPA.
