I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor accredited with The National Counselling Society. I work in private practice and my office is based in Peterborough. Please take time to explore my website. I hope that you find it meaningful. 

By choosing to work with me I will provide to you a regular agreed time for us to meet. In sessions I will provide you a safe and supportive environment. I will provide you with respect, empathy and congruence. I will provide you my listening skills. I will be present with you. You may choose to talk about particular issues if you wish; or perhaps a dream; or you might decide to use the time to reflect without talking. How you choose to use your sessions is up to you.    

Counselling and psychotherapy can be an effective strategy with long term benefits for dealing with challenging mental health issues and mental health illness.  I specialise in working with people experiencing stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction and trauma. 

Not everyone has to have a mental health issue or mental health illness to benefit from counselling and psychotherapy. People experiencing life changes, relationship issues, transitions and people searching for a deeper self-understanding can all benefit from committing to the process of counselling and psychotherapy. 

I offer long-term and open ended psychotherapy. I also offer short-term counselling usually over the period of around three to four months. Most people have one session per week. Some people come twice a week. Others, often in the 'maintenance stage', might come every two weeks.

So you might be wondering, 'how many sessions will I need?' This is something will explore this more in your initial assessment. To get you thinking however, here are some useful thoughts to reflect upon. 'What would I like counselling or psychotherapy for?'... 'What do I want to get out my sessions?'... 'What do I want to talk about'... 'What don't I want to talk about?'... 'Do I have any goals and aims?'... 'How long do I feel like it this is going to take?'... 'What do I feel is in the best interest of my future self?'.

Counselling is a commitment and an investment in your self. For appointments please leave a voicemail, text or email me with your details. We will then arrange a free 15 minute phone call where we can talk about how to move things forward for you with regards to starting sessions.
