Counselling

I offer weekly 50-minute sessions (in person in Reading or Wokingham, or online) at a regular time each week.

People come to therapy for many reasons. You might be feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or maybe you're not even sure why things feel so hard right now. You don't need to have things figured out before we meet - whatever brings you here, this is a time to focus entirely on you, exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with greater understanding and self-compassion.

We will work at your pace to explore current stress, past experiences, and the patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Rather than telling you what to do or trying to "fix" you, I adapt my approach to what you need, helping you make sense of your experience and rebuild trust in yourself.

Creative Therapy (Optional)

If traditional talking therapy ever feels limited, I also offer creative tools. Expressing yourself through visual or creative arts can often help process deeper emotions that are hard to put into words. This is always optional - we only use it if it feels right for you.

How We Work Together

Drawing on my experience providing counselling with adults in a low-cost agency, I'm here to offer a grounded, steady presence. As we work together, we will regularly reflect, and I also offer a review after our first six sessions to ensure we are on the right track.

Our first session

To help you get started, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s a relaxed chat to share a little about what is bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and see if we might be a good fit.

After our initial chat, if you decide I'm the right therapist for you, you can book an appointment in your own time.

During our first session, we'll run through a short contract together, and complete an initial assessment to explore any difficulties you may be experiencing, and what you hope to gain from counselling.

My fee is £60 for each 50-minute session. On occasion I may have some short term, concession slots at a reduced rate available - please enquire.
