Please contact me for my availability as this varies from week to week. 

I offer individuals and couples counselling, and therapeutic coaching in person (private therapy room near Southampton Common), online via Zoom, or by phone.

Every individual is unique and every couple is different - so asking for help might be a daunting step. Finding the right therapist to work with you can take some time. I offer a free 20 minute Zoom consultation to help you explore what's going on for you, and whether I can help. I will listen carefully, empathetically and compassionately to help you evaluate your past, your present, and  to develop a personalised approach to how you want your life to be. I integrate a number of recognised and established problem solving and communication therapies to tailor an approach that suits you, such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and TA (Transactional Analysis - how you communicate with others) to help you understand what's going on for you, and how to move forward with positivity.

Individual/couples counselling offers you the chance to explore and understand yourself and your circumstances better. How do your past experiences impact what's happening right now?  How do you build your autonomy, authenticity and communication skills - individually or in a relationship? Who's important to you and how do you connect with them better?

Therapeutic coaching for individuals/couples is more goal focused and forward looking. What would you like to do differently? What steps do you need to take for things to change? Therapeutic coaching can help you move on from your past and focus on how you would like life to be.

Counselling and therapeutic coaching can help with trauma, anxiety and general worry, sexual/non-sexual relationship and communication problems, abuse, low self-confidence, bereavement and many other issues that may be leaving you feeling overwhelmed, unhappy or unfulfilled.

Please contact me to arrange a free 20 minute initial Zoom consultation.

My practice is pro-active but non-directive. I won't tell you what to do, or how to be - but I will actively help you explore and understand what's going on for you, support you to cope with your 'here and now' or make choices about moving forward in the best way for you. 

I offer counselling, couples therapy and therapeutic coaching with a compassionate, but down-to-earth and practical approach, whatever support you need. 

I work from a private, cosy and comfortable therapy room near Southampton Common, or via Zoom if you prefer. If you visit me in person there is wheel-chair access and free parking available.

I offer a free 20 minute initial consultation on Zoom to help understand how we might work together.

If we work together, I will ask you to complete some simple paperwork prior to our first paid session together, so I have a better picture of you and what you need. If you need help completing this paperwork we can do this in our first paid session together but I'm happy to allow extra free time for this.

I'm also very happy to answer any questions, please just ask.
