After an initial assessment session where we can talk about what brings you to counselling at this time, we can begin to explore issues and patterns of behaviour that are no longer benefitting you. My aim is to provide a safe and empathetic therapeutic space for the client to share past and present experiences that might be affecting them now and also for clients to feel heard and able to communicate any worries or concerns openly and with confidentiality. As the relationship between client and therapist evolves this can also help a person to grow and develop further in all aspects of their lives. 

I do not prescribe or dictate how many sessions you might need as this can depend on how you feel along the way and will check in regularly on how you feel your sessions are going to ensure that we can work together on what feels right for you.

Before training and qualifying as a counsellor I worked in the film and tv industry and as my practice has developed over the years I have found that although I work with a broad and diverse spectrum of clients many are from this world. Any industry can feel stressful and pressurised and the film, theatre and tv industry can feel particularly pressurised. So please do feel you can contact me for any help with this and be reassured that we will together on any issues you may be experiencing with understanding and confidentiality.
