Counselling is a helpful tool for anyone facing a difficult season, feeling "stuck," or wanting to understand themselves better. You don't need to be in a crisis to start; proactive mental health care is just as valid as reactive care.

The initial "assessment" is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you to therapy now, your history, and what you hope to achieve. It’s also a time for you to see if you feel comfortable with my style. You get the chance to make sure I am the right therapist for you!

This varies and is unique to you. Some clients find clarity in 6 to 12 sessions (short-term), while others prefer long-term, open-ended work. We will review our progress regularly to ensure you’re getting what you need.

No, I work in an open-ended way. You can have as many sessions as you wish and we will review this throughout the course of our journey together.

I try to keep you in the same session time/day each week to give you consistency. However this may not work for everyone. You can attend weekly, fortnightly or monthly and I am always happy to discuss individual requirements with you.

Yes, I offer a complimentary 15-30 minute phone or video call. This is a "no-pressure" way for us to see if we are a good fit before you commit to a full session. Using the referral form you can book your own introductory call too.

Individual sessions are priced at £45 for 50 minutes. Couples sessions are priced at £55 for 50 minutes. I also offer concessions with more information available on the Fees & Booking page of my website.

Payments are currently made via bank transfer, 24 hours before your session. You can also choose to pay by cash if you session is face-to-face.

I offer face-to-face sessions in Thorne, Doncaster. Online sessions are also offered and are conducted via a secure, GDPR-compliant platform to ensure your privacy.

I currently work with clients aged 12 and upwards.

I require 24 hours' notice for cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less notice will be charged at 50% of your full rate, as that time has been specifically reserved for you. Further details will be outlined in your therapy contract.

Absolutely. Everything we discuss is confidential, with a few legal exceptions (such as if there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others). I adhere to the NCPS ethical framework and GDPR guidelines regarding your data.

Yes, I am a registered member of the NCPS. You can find me on their public register, which ensures I meet the high standards of training and ethics required in the UK.

It means I have met the high standards of training and ethical practice required by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. I am accountable to their professional conduct procedure and complete regular clinical supervision.

To protect your privacy, I won't acknowledge you first if we happen to cross paths in the local area. If you choose to say hello, I’ll follow your lead, but I will never disclose how I know you to others.
