Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor
INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELLING
Taking the first step to approaching therapy can be really difficult. Finding help might have been on your mind for a while or perhaps suddenly something has stopped working and you are looking for a way to explore your current, past or future situations. Whatever has brought you here, I want to encourage you that you are making a healthy decision for yourself.
I work in an integrative way which means that I use a variety of theoretical approaches to suit my clients. Usually this involves talking therapy but depending on your personal interests we can incorporate more creative approaches if this might help you to explore more freely. Expressing oneself verbally is not easy for everybody. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can provide a healing and explorative experience for a client as they can examine how they are in a safe space with another. I work with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, disordered eating, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts and ideation, relationships, anger, sexual abuse, sleep, addiction, parenting, trauma and self harm.
I adhere to the UKCP and BACP ethical framework, meaning that I value each of my clients as a unique person, taking in to account diversity, equality and inclusion and protecting their confidentiality and privacy. I am an Accredited Member of UKCP and a Registered Member of BACP governing bodies.
THERAPY AND COUNSELLING SERVICES
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
I provide one to one talking therapy and counselling in and around Windsor, Berkshire. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually held once a week at the same time.
I offer an initial meeting where we can have an open discussion about your needs and I can answer any questions that you might have. If we would like to continue to work together then we will organise a regular time to meet and decide on the right therapeutic plan for you.
I can also offer Zoom and telephone counselling to cater to those who travel and need to be flexible, without missing their sessions.
PRICING
50 min Session: £60
Therapy works best when attended regularly, however if you do need to cancel an appointment, please let me know within 48 hours of your session to avoid the full fee charge for a missed appointment.
I am passionate about making therapy more accessible to those who cannot afford it, particularly in a time where low cost mental health services are so stretched. If you would be interested in sponsoring a space each week for someone to attend therapy, feel free to contact me to discuss this further.

I regularly attend CPD days covering a broad range of topics to enhance and update my training. I am also in supervision to ensure that I am practicing in my client's best interest. I have a full DBS check and First Aid Training.
As well as my private practice, I currently work as a student counsellor at a University in Surrey and elsewhere work with Youth and Adults in an open-ended framework for a charity. In other work previous to my training I have had experience with primary aged children and babies, young people with complex needs and worked closely with more senior adults. I have a degree in Fine Art and am passionate about involving creative practice in therapy. If this is something that interests you then we can integrate that in to your personal therapy.
