I have some availability

Life can sometimes feel hard to bare and the thoughts of facing these challenging and difficult times on your own can feel overwhelming. As a person centred counsellor my aim is to help you explore and work through these difficulties. I can guide you to navigate ways to better recognise the issues you are experiencing and help you explore ways in which you may start to move forward towards a happier, more peaceful and fulfilling way to live your life.

Many of us cope by holding on to our feelings for fear of burdening others with our problems. We may feel daunted at the prospect of sharing whats really going on beneath the surface with regards to our deeper thoughts, feelings for fear of being judged and not understood. I offer an empathic, non-judgmental, confidential, safe space to help you feel valued, heard, understood and respected unconditionally throughout your counselling experience/journey. By working collaboratively with you in this tailored way, we will be able to recognise your issues and work towards your goals whilst enabling you to consider potential solutions and ways to move forward.

Sometimes you may seek therapy for things that are gong on in the present and at times you may want to explore things from the past that are deep rooted and difficult to talk about. Acknowledging these difficult events is the first step to exploring them and peeling back the layers from the past in order to be able to move forward more positively in the future.

I appreciate that seeking support can be a difficult step to take and  you may have reservations regarding accessing therapy and sharing what's going on for you with a stranger. I am also aware that the relationship between therapist and client must be a comfortable one where trust and rapport can be built. With this in mind I offer a free-of-charge initial first consultation via on-line or telephone. This will give us a chance to discuss what your needs are and how I can help should you decide to proceed.

In my practice I can offer face-to-face in Theydon Bois in Epping CM16. These sessions are charged at £60 per 50-minutes. 

I also offer telephone and online counselling for those preferring remote sessions. These sessions are charged at £50 per 50-minutes.

I also offer walk and talk therapy. These sessions are charged at £60 per 50-minute.

I also offer concessional rates 

I offer a free of charge initial consultation which will be for 20 minutes. This will give us a chance to discuss how we will work together, what your needs are and what I am able to offer you. This will be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have. This will allow you to know how comfortable you feel within  the safe space provided should you wish to proceed with further appointments.
