Counselling That Works for You
– In Person, Online or by Phone
Counselling That Meets You Where You Are
I offer professional counselling and psychotherapy for adults, young people and couples in Ware, Hertfordshire and across the UK. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, or something you’re not quite sure how to name yet, I’m here to help.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every session is shaped around you, your pace, needs and goals. No scripts, no boxes, and no judgement.
My Counselling and Therapy Services
Individual Counselling (Adults)
One-to-one counselling for adults navigating a wide range of personal, emotional and psychological challenges. I’m trained as a psychotherapist, which means I can draw on a broader range of therapeutic tools – think less “toolbox” and more “Mary Poppins’ bottomless bag”.
Sessions are 50 minutes and take place weekly or fortnightly, depending on what works best for you. Whether you’re in crisis, feeling low, or simply want to understand yourself better, individual counselling gives you a dedicated, confidential space to explore what’s going on – and start finding a way forward.
I can help with anxiety and stress, depression, grief, trauma, relationships, self-esteem, life transitions, and much more.
Couples Counselling
I’m a trained couples counsellor, and I offer support for relationships at every stage, whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding after a rupture or simply trying to reconnect. Couples counselling is not about taking sides. It’s about giving both of you a space to be heard and finding a way forward that works for both of you.
Counselling for Young People
I hold a Level 5 qualification in Working Therapeutically with Children & Young People in Schools, which means I’m trained to work with younger clients in a way that’s age-appropriate, patient and sensitive to the unique pressures young people face today.
If you’re a parent or carer looking for counselling support for a young person, lease get in touch to have a conversation about whether I’m the right fit.
Online Counselling
Can’t make it in person? No problem. I offer online counselling via video call, and for many of my clients, it’s just as effective as face-to-face, and far more convenient. All you need is a private space and a reliable internet connection. Online sessions are available to clients across the UK.
Telephone Counselling
For those who prefer not to use video, telephone counselling is a flexible and effective alternative. It’s a great option if you are on the go, prefer not to be seen on screen or simply find it easier to talk without visual contact.
Hypnotherapy (Coming Soon)
I’m currently in training as a hypnotherapist, a natural extension of the work I already do, and one I’m really excited about. Watch this space.
EMDR (Coming Soon)
I’ll be starting my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) training shortly. A powerful, evidence-based therapy particularly effective for trauma and PTDS. This will be a valuable addition to the support I can offer clients dealing with difficult past experiences.

Counselling Session Information and Fees
How Counselling Sessions Work
Sessions are 50 minutes long and take place at a regular time each week or fortnight. Consistency is important in counselling; it helps build trust and allows meaningful progress to happen over time.
Your first step is a free 15-minute telephone consultation with me. This gives you a chance to ask questions, share little about what has brought you here, and get a feel for whether I am the right therapist right for you. There is no commitment and no pressure.
Counselling Session Fees
Standard sessions are £50, payable in advance by bank transfer, cash or card. I am proud to offer limited low-cost counselling for:
- Students
- Armed forces personnel and veterans
- NHS Staff
If you fall into one of these categories and cost is a barrier to accessing support, please mention this when you get in touch.
Counselling Session Availability
Sessions are available Monday to Friday, with evening and weekend slots available for those who need flexibility around work or family commitments.
What Can You Expect from your First Session?
Feeling nervous about your first session is completely normal, and that’s completely okay. Most people find they relax quickly once we’ve started talking. I’m warm, direct and I’ll never make you feel like you’re being observed from behind a clipboard.
Your first session isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about showing up, starting a conversation, and giving me a chance to understand what’s going on for you. We’ll talk about what’s brough you here, what you’re hoping to get out of our work together, and what feels most important to tackle first.
There’s no homework, no judgement and no expectation that you’ll have it all figured out. Just a space that’s entirely for you.
Professional Standards and Safeguarding
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adheres to their ethical framework in all my work. I am fully insured, DBS checked and registered with the ICO.
All client information is kept strictly confidential, in line with BACP guidelines and GDPR regulations. The only exception to confidentiality is where there is a serious risk of harm, and even then, I will discuss this with you wherever possible.
