The length of time it takes to see results from counselling varies depending on the individual and the issues being addressed. Some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions, while others may require longer-term therapy.
I usually suggest clients initially start with four sessions with a review of progress and how you are finding our work at the fourth one. Some people will find this enough and others prefer to continue longer-term.
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with an advanced degree in integrative psychotherapy. I have also had extensive further training and experience working with individuals in areas including specialist trauma work, neurodivergence, relationship and sex therapy, as well as ensuring I am focussed on an anti-oppressive GSRD stance.
I am certified in Somatic Trauma Healing, EMDR, Attachment Trauma Treatment, CPTSD treatment, Neurodivergent Clients and Eating, and Neuroaffirming Practice
My fees are £80 per session and I offer concessions for people living locally or on a low income. This reflects the level of training, experience and continuing professional development I am committed to.
I have been fully qualified since 2010 and specialise in working with neurodivergent adults and with clients who have had difficult or unhelpful experiences in previous therapy.
My approach is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and relationship-focused. I place particular emphasis on pacing, safety, and collaborative working — especially for clients who may feel wary, misunderstood, or unsure about returning to therapy.
I work with a small, contained caseload to ensure consistency and depth of care. Over the last six months, 90% of my clients have successfully completed their therapy, and I have a strong record of sustained engagement and retention.
My fee reflects:
over 15 years of post-qualification experience
specialist expertise in neurodiversity and therapeutic repair
the depth and consistency of work offered
ongoing professional development and clinical supervision
Therapy is an investment of time, emotional energy, and trust. My aim is to offer work that is thoughtful, effective, and respectful of that investment.answer to this item.
