About me

BACP registered therapist offering online and in-person therapy. My practice is based at OTS Therapy Centre, Oxford.

Areas of expertise

Life-stage challenges, relationships, work stress, identity, anxiety disorders, depression, bereavement, PTSD and OCD.

Approach 

My integrative approach combines

• Person centred counselling to explore your unique experience through open and honest dialogue in a safe and confidential setting.

• Transactional Analysis (TA) to recognise how the past influences your day-to-day interactions and responses to situations. 

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help manage your thoughts, understand the links to specific behaviours and give you the confidence to make the changes you need.

Duration and cost

I offer open ended therapy which means you can use it for short term counselling to help deal with a specific issue, or longer term therapy for in depth work. 

£75 per session (50 mins). 

First session booking

The first session is an opportunity for you to work with me on a trial basis to see whether I am the right therapist for you. We will look into how life is for you now and potential ways of working together. 

A first session is recommended before you make a longer term commitment to therapy and can be helpful if you are unsure what approach to take.

£75 (50 mins).
