About Me

As a person-centred therapist I offer a space where you will be accepted, seen and heard. A space for your inner thoughts, concerns, or feelings that are causing you to feel anxious, overwhelmed or confused to be explored in a considered way without judgement.

I have supported people experiencing a range of needs for seeking therapy. These have included supporting clients with anxiety, depression,  trauma, stress, abuse, identity issues,  relationship conflicts, personal impact and difficulties experienced due to their neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, ASD), sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), gender (gender-affirming), ethnicity, or religious belief. I also provide my services for therapy trainees during their academic studies.

I have an interest, from my personal experiences, of working with clients who can feel confused, conflicted or unsure of their identity, whether this as a result of changes within their circumstances or life stage; the impact of how they are perceived by others; or due to unresolved events from their past. This can feel isolating, anxiety- inducing, unsettling and distressing. Our sessions will allow whatever is there for you to be explored in a non-judgemental and accepting environment.

Sessions

Sessions can be in person in my therapy space, based in Nottingham, or if more convenient for your needs remotely via zoom or phone. I have experience working short-term (6-8 sessions) or on an open-ended longer basis. We can explore what you feel is most suitable for you during our 20-minute introduction chat (there is no fee for this). Following sessions, if you wish to continue, will be charged at £55 and last 50 minutes. A limited number of reduced fee session spaces are available for therapy trainees, students and those on low income or unemployed, please ask about their current availability.

I believe you are the person who knows yourself best, and you will be the focus of our sessions. In the initial session I will carry out an assessment of what has brought you to therapy, plus explore what you wish to achieve by attending.

From the first session I shall provide a safe and trusting environment in which you can connect, at your pace, with your inner thoughts and whatever worries, concerns, or behaviours that you feel are causing you to be anxious, unhappy, fearful or making life difficult to cope with. I will not tell you what to do, try to fix you or dismiss what you bring. I will come to our sessions with a gentle curiosity and warmth supporting you to consider and explore what is preventing you being who or where you want to be.

What next...

If I sound the type of therapist you are looking for I would welcome the opportunity to explore this further during a 20-minute introduction chat.
