About me and my practice

Counselling with me can:

- Help you to cope with the demands of family life, giving you confidence to make sound decisions and find the real you again.

- Give you relief from the distressing symptoms of trauma, so that you can see a way forward and enjoy life again.

- Give you tools and techniques for those moments when anxiety and overwhelm and self-doubt strike, helping you to feel calmer and more in control.

If you feel ready, we can discuss options and alternative courses of action for as long as you need, until you feel confident that you can see a way forward. But I will never try to tell you what you to do, or insist that my way is the right way. I will listen and help you to explore what feels important to you, at the pace that feels right for you. There are no 'musts' or 'shoulds' in counselling with me.

If you've had a traumatic experience, sadly I cannot take away what has happened to you completely but I can help with specialist memory processing tools (the Rewind technique) to support you in getting to a place of greater safety, where you can find a way to continue with your life without feeling overwhelmed by the accompanying terror and distress. I have undertaken specialist trauma training to minimise the risk of re-traumatising you.

How I work

As both a professional and a mother of two, I'm very familiar with the challenges of family life, the ups and downs of parenting, the ongoing struggle to adapt to new roles and the loneliness that can bring.

I have 10 years professional experience supporting and empowering parents and parents-to-be (including remotely for parents who found themselves isolated and struggling through the pandemic), as well sensitively supporting those who have had a difficult journey through fertility and infertility, baby loss and stillbirth.

Additional Information

Your time with me is a chance to focus on you and your needs.

You don't need to wait for the mythical 'good day' that rarely comes, and you don't need to dress up, or put on 'nice clothes' or make up (unless you want to of course!) - just be brave enough to get in touch and we can take it one step at a time from there.

Available online nationally through Zoom, also in person in Coulsdon, South London.

Initial Consultation

The first session is very much an exploratory one, for us to begin to get to know each other, to explain how I work, to understand your motivation for seeking counselling and what you hope to gain, and of course for you to ask any questions. There is no obligation at all to continue if it doesn't feel right for any reason.

Fees

Fees are £55 per session (£65 for weekends and Bank Holidays).

Fees are payable in advance before each session, by bank transfer or PayPal.

Cancellations within 24 hours are payable in full please, as I cannot fill the slot at short notice.

If I have to cancel your appointment with less than 24hrs notice for any reason, I will provide your next session free of charge.

Occasional reduced cost sessions may be available - please ask.

I can offer appointments at the following times:

Monday evening, Wednesday daytime and evening, Thursday daytime, Friday evening.
