Individual Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can sound a bit intimidating - it is essentially the gentle exploration of your emotional experiences with a steady, available facilitator alongside you, going at your pace, to uncover and discover things together which will help your own or your child's social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing to improve. I also offer counselling, which is similar while tending to be shorter term and less in-depth.​
​
​Sometimes the things getting in our way are old patterns or adverse experiences from our childhood, and sometimes the problems are in the 'here and now' so it can be helpful to unpick which ones are which. Working with creative and polyvagal-informed methods, I support clients to develop awareness of their nervous system and internal sensations, which drive behaviours and the stories we tell about what is happening for us. Making sense of this can be transformational.

With clients of all ages, I uphold the highest standards of confidentiality while following local safeguarding processes and legal requirements. I am bound by the BACP Code of Ethics and am registered with the ICO as a data controller.

Welcome meetings and return sessions are charged at £50 per hour and where a client does not attend or gives less than 24 hours notice, a missed session fee is payable. ​
