Fees are £80 per individual session for 50 minutes, and £110 for couples. I always give consideration to individual circumstances, so if cost is a concern, please do get in touch and we can have a conversation about it.

This is genuinely different for everyone, and I would never want to put a number on it before we’ve even met. Some people find that a handful of sessions gives them what they need. Others find that having a regular space over a longer period of time feels right for them. We’ll talk about this together as we go, and you are always in the driving seat when it comes to how long we work together.

Asking for help and starting therapy can be scary and anxiety inducing. Knowing if you are in the right place is something we can talk about, but it’s difficult to know until we start to work together. What I always say is — you will know the answer to that question fairly quickly. This is your therapy, not mine. I know what it is to be the client, and I know what it is to be the client in the wrong place. If this isn’t the right place for you, I won’t be offended. Just drop me a note saying how you feel, and I will wish you the best with whatever you choose to do next.

I have a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Derby and an MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice from Bath Spa University. I am BACP Accredited and NCPS Professionally Accredited, which means you can be confident I take my ethical responsibilities seriously and am accountable for how I practise. I am also currently studying for a Doctorate in Psychotherapy (DPsych) at the Metanoia Institute in London.

My current working hours are:

• Monday: 9.15am – 7.00pm
• Tuesday: 9.15am – 6.00pm
• Wednesday: 9.15am – 5.00pm
• Thursday: 9.15am – 5.00pm
• Friday: 9.15am – 1.00pm

We will continue to have regular conversations about how things are for you, reflecting on progress, and how we both feel about sessions continuing or stopping. Endings are something we approach together, not something that just happens – it’s a part of the process in its own right.

My office is on the edge of Nantwich at Silvertree Wellness, Nantwich. It is easy to find, has lots of parking, but is also walking distance from the centre of town. It’s a colourful, comfortable, private space – there’s a footstool, a fluffy blanket, and it’s somewhere you can genuinely settle. Sessions are also available by video call or phone if that suits you better.

We’ll go through everything together at the start – how sessions work, what confidentiality means, what to expect from me and what I’ll ask of you. Nothing will be assumed or rushed. If you have questions at any point, you can always ask. I am very open about things, and know how daunting this can be to come here and start talking.

Integrative therapy means I don’t follow one single model rigidly. Instead, I draw on a range of approaches – including person-centred, solution-focused, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and existential therapy, as well as others – and use what fits best for you and what you’re bringing. It means the work is shaped around you, rather than you having to fit a particular method.

Both. I work face to face from my office at Silvertree Wellness in Nantwich, and I also offer sessions by video call or telephone. All three formats are effective, and we can talk about which feels right for you — or use a mix, depending on what life looks like.

Yes, and it’s something I am personally connected to. I work with the full range of neurodivergence – autism, ADHD, PDA, dyslexia, dyscalculia, RSD, and many others. I bring both professional experience and genuine personal understanding to this work, including lived experience of autism, ADHD, and PDA, and a real familiarity with what RSD feels like from the inside. I know that the therapy room doesn’t always feel like a safe or accessible place for neurodivergent people, and I work hard to make sure mine is – without unnecessary structure, without jargon, and without pressure to show up in any particular way.

Yes, and it’s an area I feel particularly strongly about. I work with women navigating chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, perimenopause and menopause, fertility challenges, and the emotional complexity that comes with all of it. My doctoral research focuses on women with chronic conditions and the emotional relationship they have with their own bodies, so this isn’t just a checkbox – it’s work I’m deeply invested in.

That’s completely fine – most people haven’t. You don’t need to know how to do therapy, or what to say, or what to bring. We start wherever you are, and we go at your pace. The first session is really just about us getting to know each other and you getting a feel for whether this is somewhere you want to come back to.

Yes. Everything you share with me stays between us.

Yes. Therapy and medication can work very well alongside each other, and it’s not a case of one or the other. I’m not a prescriber and I won’t advise you on medication, but I’ll always work collaboratively with whatever else is supporting you.

I ask for at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or rearrange. If a session is cancelled within that 24 hours, the full fee is still due – regardless of the reason. I know that might feel firm, but this boundary matters to me and is part of how I work. I’ll always do my best to offer an alternative time where I can.

Yes. Couples sessions are 50 minutes and the fee is £110. A lot of my couples work centres on communication – not just what is being said, but what isn’t, and why. I work hard to create a space where both people feel safe enough to be genuinely honest, with clear boundaries around how that honesty is held and expressed. It can be some of the most powerful work there is, when the space feels safe enough to do it in.

Friends carry their own history, perspective, and fear. Even when they want to support you unconditionally, it can be difficult to say everything you want to say without worrying about being judged, or about how it lands for them. In this space, that judgement is removed. You can say the thing you’ve never said out loud, without managing how someone else feels about it.

That’s more common than you might think, and it’s something I take seriously. A bad experience of therapy can leave you feeling like it just doesn’t work, or that there’s something wrong with you – and neither of those things is true. It usually means it wasn’t the right fit, or the right approach, or the right time. If you’ve been hurt or let down by a previous therapeutic relationship, I won’t dismiss that. We can go as slowly as you need, and building trust will always come before anything else.
