Therapy is a confidential, collaborative process where you and I work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships. It helps you gain insight, cope with challenges, and build meaningful change.

Therapy can help manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and more. It’s about helping you understand patterns, the unconscious motivations behind behaviour, the things that keep you stuck and then supporting you to create change.

If you’re feeling in need of change, stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about support, therapy might be helpful. If you’re unsure, we can discuss this in your first session.

Counselling often focuses on specific immediate concerns (eg. a difficult feelings following a bereavement), whereas psychotherapy tends to explore underlying patterns and deeper emotional issues (eg. why do I keep finding myself in relationships where I struggle to communicate what I want?). The difference isn’t strict — both are forms of talking, feeling and experiencing therapy aimed at helping you feel better.

No — you don’t need to be in crisis. Many people benefit from therapy for ongoing support, personal growth, or to work through difficulties before they become overwhelming.

Your first session is an opportunity to share what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and see if we’re a good fit to work together. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out — we take it step by step together.

Yes. While you can share whatever feels comfortable. I have found that most people find it helpful to explore personal history alongside current experiences. We haven’t arrived where we are today without having learnt and developed along the way, so looking back as well as staying present can help us understand some of the entrenched patterns of relating we can find ourselves in and offer ideas of how to change.

Sessions are 50 minutes and occur at the same time and day every week. Some clients in high-stress jobs/relationships might benefit from twice-weekly sessions. Consistency and regular work helps build a safe therapeutic space and a strong therapeutic relationship.

The length of therapy varies for each person and depends on your goals, needs, and circumstances. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others find longer-term therapy helpful for exploring deeper patterns and making lasting changes. We’ll review our work together regularly so you can decide what feels right for you.

While I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and have completed a BSc in Psychology with Counselling, I am yet to complete my Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy, so am able to offer considerably reduced price sessions on a sliding scale.

Current prices range from £65 to £80 (full price £90/session) depending on your income.

Payment is by BACS transfer the day before or cash on the day.

There is a growing body of evidence that psychotherapy delivered online is highly effective and this is something I am very happy to offer should it suit you better.

Yes. Everything shared in therapy is private and confidential. Confidentiality and trust are core to therapy. Nothing will be shared without your consent, except in exceptional circumstances where safety is at risk.

Yes I do! We’ve been brought up in a culture that doesn’t talk about sex, sexuality, masturbation, fantasies, pornography, bodies and arousal. It’s so taboo, and doesn’t need to be. While people come to me for therapy for all manner of reasons, many also find enormous benefit in being able to feel safe enough to discuss this little explored and little understood aspect of themselves, in an environment that feels totally non-judgmental and non-shaming.

I hear you. I really do. It’s a surprisingly sticky topic for most people and we won’t jump straight into it (although if that’s what you want to do - please do dive straight in!). We’ll take things slowly and gently and at your own pace.

I’ve been around the block, I’ve run and attended some very interesting parties in my time and while I’ve not heard and seen it all, I am surprisingly unphased by the interesting and varied world of what turns people on. It’s pretty much a guarantee that I won’t find even the most extreme things gross and I’m not going to find you weird. I’m actually likely to find you incredibly brave for coming to talk to me about it.

I work with a lot of men who are worried about something really personal that they wouldn’t talk about with anyone else. It’s often something to do with their bodies or what they’re turned on by, but it’s all OK to talk about. This is not like having a chat with your mates down the pub. This is private, confidential and nobody is going to make you feel stupid. Nothing is off the table.
