Person-Centred Counselling

Person-centred counselling can be helpful for a wide range of issues – from relationship difficulties or workplace problems to major life decisions, or coping with bereavement and loss. I aim to offer a safe space where you can explore whatever is troubling you and effective support to help you find the right way forward.

Talking and reflecting about our lives while being heard, understood and supported in finding fresh perspectives, is often enough help us to sort through our feelings and make sense of things for ourselves. I believe that we all have our own inner wisdom, and a natural tendency towards healing and wholeness. When we feel safe, accepted and allowed to be ourselves it is natural for us to explore and to orientate towards well-being and growth.

There’s no formula, everyone is different and my aim is to create a space in which you can unfold, explore, grow and let go of what no longer serves you in a way that feels right for you. 

Embodied Work

In addition to just talking, some people find it helpful to also explore using movement, breath and voice work. This can offer a different perspective to traditional talking therapy, and  provide powerful ways to bring fresh insight, shift trauma, and to make changes if talking and words on their own are not enough. For those who feel this may be helpful, I am trained in a person-centred form of body psychotherapy called Body Listening [read more]. 

My Approach

I aim at all times to treat you with understanding and respect, to meet you where you are, and to be authentic, present and empathic. I undertake to self-reflect, to be honest if I make a mistake, and to act responsibly and ethically.

Free Introductory Meeting

If you’re thinking about coming for therapy, I offer a free, no-obligation meeting of up to half an hour (in person or online) to give you a chance to ask any questions and see whether you think we would be a good fit. Contact me to arrange this.

Costs and Practicalities

Sessions are either in-person or online. If we are meeting in person, we will work in a quiet and private dedicated studio at my home. Online sessions are held on Zoom.

Free Trial Session

I offer a free initial half-hour consultation with no obligation to help you see if you feel we are a good fit.

Session Length and Cost

Sessions generally last for 50 minutes and cost £60. Sixty minute sessions can also be arranged if that is better for you.

I offer a 10% discount for a six-session block paid for in advance.

Concessions are sometimes available, please ask if you are in genuine need.
