You can reach out via the ‘Contact me’ page on my website or through the links provided in the counselling directories.

I can assist with a range of mental health and life stage issues. I understand that life is particularly challenging at the moment, and I'm here to support you through it.

I offer face-to-face sessions in my local area of Aylesbury and Berryfields, as well as online and telephone counselling sessions.

Appointments are available during the daytime, some evenings, and Saturday mornings, so we can find a time that works for you.
Feel free to let me know if you'd like any adjustments or additional information!

Counselling isn't about giving you a list of instructions or telling you how to live your life. Instead, counselling is collaborative where we'll work together to understand your situation, explore different perspectives and help you identify what feels right for you.

Everyone's circumstances are different. Some people find that a few sessions are helpful, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly review how things are progressing and what you feel you need.

You don't need to be in crisis or have a specific diagnosis to benefit from counselling. You may simply feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, low, disconnected, or find yourself struggling with something that feels difficult to navigate alone. Counselling can offer you a space to understand what is happening and explore what and how you would like to change.

It's very common to feel nervous about taking the first step. You don't have to make a commitment simply by getting in touch. You can contact me to ask questions, tell me a little about what you're looking for and see whether you feel I might be the right person to work with.

Finding the right fit is important. Qualifications and experience matter, but so does how comfortable you feel with the person. I encourage you to ask questions and consider whether you feel listened to, understood and able to be yourself. I also include a short video of me speaking on my website to help give you an insight of what I look and sound like.

The first session will very much depend on what you would like to bring and discuss. It can be more of a factual discussion where you are telling me about you and your life and who or what is going on for you or it can be with me asking you questions to help ease you into the session; it can also be everything in between! You don't need to have everything figured out before you come.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you would like support with. We'll discuss how we might work together and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions. There is no expectation that you have to share everything straight away.

I am based in person-centred practice which means that we work with what you bring to sessions each time and we go at your pace. Therefore, there is no ‘right’ way; all ways are welcomed.

Not at all. Counselling is a space where you can speak openly without fear of judgement. My role is to listen, understand and work collaboratively with you, rather than tell you what you should or shouldn't do.

What you share and what is discussed between us is treated with respect and confidentiality, within the professional and legal boundaries that I adhere to. I'll explain confidentiality and its limits clearly when we begin working together.

Every counselling relationship is different, and sometimes the approach, timing or relationship with the counsellor simply isn't the right fit. If you've had an experience that wasn't helpful, you are still welcome to get in touch. We can talk about what you need now, what has or hasn't worked for you in the past, and whether I might be the right person to support you. Previous counselling is often addressed in my initial call.

Taking the first step can sometimes feel like the hardest part. If you're considering counselling, you're very welcome to get in touch. You can email me or use the contact form, and we can arrange an initial conversation to discuss what you're looking for. You don't need to have everything worked out before you contact me.
