Perhaps you feel unhappy and dissatisfied within your relationships. You may feel you are treading on eggshells or your thoughts and emotions are affected by other's behaviours. You may need help coming to terms with an upsetting event or support moving into a different chapter of your life. Perhaps you have experienced a loss causing feelings of grief and loneliness that comes in waves. Sometimes we can't figure out why we feel the way we do, we just want it to stop. I create a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to be truly heard. Sharing what's on your mind brings clarity when there is confusion and worry.

Sometimes you may feel a sense of general dissatisfaction and unhappiness in your life, but you may be unsure where this stems from, and sometimes you may have the understanding but not the motivation or resources to deal with the uncomfortable feelings. In our sessions, we will have the chance to explore whatever is troubling you and help you build on your resources and strengths to confront whatever you are dealing with at the time or in the past. Together, we will identify your patterns of behaviour and relating to others which may be preventing you from realising your true potential and living a fulfilled life.

Starting therapy can feel unnerving, often it takes time and courage for one to take the first step. Often this initial anxiety about starting therapy can be down to, in part, not knowing what to expect. An initial session, often referred to as an assessment, can be a way of knowing whether or not you and I would like to start working together. Perhaps there are specific things in your life that are bothering you, or maybe you are not sure about why you are feeling the way that you are. Therapy is a place where we can think together in a confidential space.

Taking the first step in therapy may be the hardest. Perhaps you have never opened up to anyone before, and this might seem like a daunting or overwhelming prospect. It is easy to get stuck in old patterns of behaviour, which prevent us from realising our potential or moving our lives forward. Do you carry baggage from your past or have fears for the future? You may be struggling to come to terms with the loss of a loved one, or perhaps you have self-destructive thoughts. You could have problems with addiction or depression or be locked in an abusive relationship or an unhappy marriage. I am here to help you find the real you.

You may be seeking psychotherapy for a number of reasons: for help with everyday relationships, struggles in everyday life or without a specific problem you can identify but want to increase your self-awareness to live Life more fully.

Listening to your life story and creating a strong therapeutic alliance are important to me in the process of healing and gaining insight.

Do you feel you are simply functioning rather than truly living? Are you weighed down by difficult past experiences or trauma? Are they defining how you view yourself and the choices you make? Living every day with lower self confidence and self doubt can stop you enjoying what you have in your life now or taking a chance to try something new. It can feel daunting to face this distress, however equally challenging to continue carrying it with you. You may well feel exhausted trying to hold it all together or as though you are missing out on what life could be like.

As a psychodynamic counsellor I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires can be considered. I encourage individual modes of communication, so you can bring yourself and not an expectation of who you should be to our sessions. I am registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF) and am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have a MSc in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Clinical Practice and Research Methods from the University of Exeter.

I specialise in seeing individual clients who have experienced loss and grief, and couples who need support around their relationships. Even in situations where we do not experience bereavement explicitly – in divorce, for example, or when events conspire to permanently deny us certain opportunities – we can experience this shattering dimension of loss. It can be very difficult to talk about these issues, others do not know what to say to you, and may even minimise your loss. It can be a great relief to speak to someone non-judgmental, who really listens and can understand the world from your perspective.

My aim in working with people is to promote well-being and achieve a good quality of life. Our first step is to think about your values and personal goals and what changes in your life you would like to see. We can then think about how to tackle any problems or difficulties in order to address these directly or think about strategies for minimising the disruption they cause. I help people struggling with anxiety, low mood, excessive self-criticism, trauma symptoms, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder and paranoia.

If you are feeling troubled and are not sure how to move forward it may be a relief to talk things through. I specialise in working with people who have lost someone close, experienced a trauma that haunts them or an unexpected change in life such as a sudden loss, a health, work, or family problem. Difficulties in your relationships or work can cause anxiety, anger and loneliness in daily life and impact your sense of self. Often problems stem from the past, and unhealthy patterns can re-emerge. I can offer a safe space where together we can explore, locate, and work through what is troubling you so as to help you move forward.

Life can be tough and overwhelming and we can get exhausted by it all. Since the pandemic there are so many more pressures and stresses, whether they be emotional, practical or financial. You may be spending more time with family which causes friction or struggling spending so much time on your own. Everyone needs help now and then and it can feel scary to ask for it, but the alternative is to remain isolated and alone. Speaking to a therapist can be an opportunity to clear your mind, alleviate your anxiety and find a better way forward. It's not about opening old wounds, it's about healing them.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
