About counselling

You may be feeling anxious, depressed, not good enough, unable to make a good relationship with the important people in your life, or just so overwhelmed that you can’t cope and have no idea of where to go next. You may be going through the motions of life with little engagement or joy.

Through counselling, I have seen my clients make profound changes to their lives and reach a new sense of wellbeing.

There is no shame in realising that you are not living your best life - you can be proud that you have decided to do something about it.  I can be with you while you explore what your best life would look like for you.

If you decide to come to counselling, we will usually meet at a regular time each week.  You can talk with me and explore what is on your mind, understand with your emotions, loosen the hold of the past and work towards living more fully.  I work with talking therapy, and have an interest in working with the messages of the body. I also offer energy psychotherapy, a gentle mind-body approach which can be effecting in clearing the effects of trauma.

I invite you to make the first steps on the way to living more positively.

What to do next:

Send me an email with your phone number, and I will set up a time for a free phone or video call, lasting about 30 minutes, so that we can get a feel for whether we could work well together.

Then, if we both agree, we can set up a first, trial session.

If that goes well, we can set up a regular time to meet, online, face-to-face in Harpenden, or by phone.

I find that open-ended therapy offers you the chance to experience a more profound change, but the decision as to how long you work with me is yours.  All I ask is that we make arrangements for a proper ending when you decide to leave.  

If you prefer, we can spend 8-12 weeks talking about one specific issue.

My charges are:

Initial phone call - free

First, trial session - £40

Subsequent sessions - £65

If I am not available for an arranged session, no fee is payable.  If you are unable to attend all or part of a session, my fee is payable in full.  I will do my best to re-arrange a missed session, if possible.
