Hello...

Welcome,

The experience of therapy sessions do not need to be limited to sitting and talking. Sometimes it can be hard to find the words and finding alternative ways to communicate can feel easier and more comfortable,

I come from a background of a variety of health and social care roles. Combined with my life experiences, I have always wanted to help people and decided that pursuing a career as a therapist was the right route for me.

If you would like to book therapy for a time that is not currently available on the booking system, please get in touch and I will see what other times I may have available.

If you would like to book a free twenty minute phone call with me before booking an initial consultation, please get in touch.

My prices are listed below, however, I am able to offer sliding scale pricing to make therapy affordable. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to discuss this.

Therapy with me...

My therapeutic work often leads me to connecting the mind and body to connect with the here and now. Sometimes it can be hard to find the words to express how you are feeling. I have found it can be beneficial for clients to have access to creative therapy if they would like to try it. Colouring, drawing, doodling and even painting can work really well as a creative aid. Other creative tools available include:
- Toy animals
- Play-doh
- Story cubes
- Emotion blocks
- Games such as Jenga
- Stones and shells
- Nesting Dolls
- Lego

I work from home so there is plenty of on street parking. My room is a five minute walk from a major bus stop in Upton, Dorset. Although I work from the ground floor there are two steps to get into the property which could make access more difficult if you have mobility difficulties.

I am able to offer home visits if preferable along with telephone and online appointments.

Experience

I have been working with clients for two years and I'm qualified to work with adults as well as children and young people. I am trained as a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor using Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and Gestalt theories. This means that I work in a variety of ways to enable me to work in the best way to support you. I believe people are individual and one size does not fit all, so one style or technique will not necessarily work for every person.

I am constantly updating my skillset to enable me to offer a wide range of therapeutic techniques.
