Counselling & Psychotherapy

I am a BACP Accredited integrative counsellor and I am passionate about supporting people going through the challenges of infertility, hormone issues, POI (Premature Ovarian Insufficiency), miscarriage, women’s health issues and the menopause transition.

I have lived experience of miscarriage, infertility, failed fertility treatments, hormone issues, women's health issues and POI. I believe psychological therapies should be offered to everyone experiencing fertility issues or baby loss at any stage, and to all women/AFAB with challenging menopause symptoms, or other hormone issues that may impact their mental health.

I am practical, honest and friendly. I will not judge you but will accept and respect you - I believe you are the expert on your body and your issues. You have the ability to heal and grow. Counselling will help you develop the self-awareness, self-compassion, strength and focus to do this, when you feel ready.

I am an Accredited Member of the BACP and I adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I work humanistically, pluralistically and relationally, integrating theory and practice from Person-Centred Counselling, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, CBT and other modalities or approaches to suit your needs.

Our online or telephone sessions

I work online via Zoom, or over the telephone. In both spaces I provide a confidential, relaxed and supportive environment in which you can talk through the issues causing you difficulties or concerns.

My role isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, make decisions or changes in your life that are right for you, and come to terms with things that can’t be changed.

Getting started

Join our online or telephone sessions from any quiet space that feels safe, where you won’t be overheard and you can access a good internet connection or phone signal.

Counselling sessions are 50 minutes long. They usually take place weekly on the same day at the same time, but can be more or less frequent depending on your needs. I am able to work on a more flexible basis with clients who have busy diaries or who are unable to commit to weekly sessions. You will book and manage your counselling sessions via my Calendly booking system to ensure they work with your schedule. A booking link will be provided to you following our introductory call.

Most people work with me on an open-ended basis for as long as they feel they need, but some people find a fixed number of counselling sessions is more appropriate. You may find you come for just a few sessions and then feel ready to stop, whilst others may come to counselling long-term. This is something we can agree together at the start and reassess regularly as your counselling progresses.

Let’s talk

It is important to find a therapist who you feel comfortable with and who is the right fit for you, so I offer a free telephone or Zoom consultation to discuss why you are seeking counselling and how we might work together. Book directly in with me on my Calendly link, or get in touch below.
