A place to talk, without being hurried.

What counselling can be

People come for many reasons: feeling stuck, anxious or low; a relationship that is hard to carry; something from the past that will not settle; or a sense that life has become too much to hold alone.

You do not need a neat story, a diagnosis, or the right language. We start with whatever you can say, and we find a pace that feels possible.

How sessions work

Counselling sessions are 60 minutes and cost £55. Appointments are Monday to Wednesday 9:30am to 7:30pm, and Thursday 9:30am to 12:30pm. Online sessions are available via Teams.

The work is person-centred. CBT or EMDR can be part of it if that seems useful — we would talk about that together, not spring it on you.

EMDR

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic or distressing experiences so they no longer feel overwhelming. EMDR uses gentle bilateral stimulation — such as eye movements or tapping — to support the brain in reprocessing memories that have become "stuck." Over time, these memories lose their emotional intensity, allowing you to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control. EMDR is recognised worldwide as an effective treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, and a range of other difficulties. Sessions are structured, collaborative, and paced safely, helping you move towards lasting change.

A first step that stays small

If you are not sure counselling is right, that is a good reason to have the free assessment call. It is a chance to hear how I work and to notice how it feels to talk to me. There is no charge and no commitment.
