What to expect, options, prices

Our first counselling session will consist of me finding out what you hope for and need from counselling and we can touch on whether you are looking for short or long term therapy. You will get the chance to see if I am the right counsellor for you and if you feel happy working with me going forwards.

The different ways I can work with you

Relational therapy

I specialise in working relationally, with Compassion Focused Therapy, attachment styles and attachment focused EMDR, inner child work, EFT tapping techniques, mindfulness and where appropriate Solution Focused Therapy. I have experience working with parent and child dynamics, pregnancy, bereavement, anxiety, depression neurodivergence and a whole host of other challenging issues.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an evidence based and highly successful psychotherapy treatment. It will help you to process and recover from traumatic past experiences that are affecting your mental health and wellbeing in the present.

Couples work

I am currently undertaking my certificate in couples work and offering subsided sessions while in training (£70 for 50 mins and £95 for 75 mins). I have availability on Thursday afternoons at 3.00-4.15. I have an accredited couples supervisor to hold my couples work to the highest ethical counselling standard.

Where our sessions can take place according to your needs

Therapy room

I offer in-person counselling sessions from my tranquil summerhouse therapy room. It is a short distance from Frenchay Common and just a few minutes drive from Junction 1 of the M32. There is private parking available just a few metres away and is also close to bus routes. There is one step up to the entrance of the summerhouse.

Walk and talk

For those who find it challenging to be indoors in the traditional counselling setting, I offer the opportunity to meet and walk in woods and commons, in the fresh air and in nature in different weather and changing seasons.

On-line

If you prefer to talk online or you don’t live in the Bristol area, we can use video calling.

Individual counselling sessions are £60 for 50 minutes.

Couples counselling is currently £70 for 50 minutes or £95 for 75 minutes (whilst working towards my couples certificate).

Payment in cash on the day, or by bank transfer before the session.

Missed appointments with less than 48 hours notice will also be charged for.

Holiday dates can be mutually negotiated between us.

The beginning and end time of the counselling session will be honoured, even if you are late for any reason.
