How I can help
Counselling can help someone understand what may be behind their anxiety, recognise patterns and develop ways of responding differently.Fees
£50 per 50-minute session I also offer a free initial consultation of up to 25–30 minutes, giving us an opportunity to talk about what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right.Get in touch
If things are feeling confusing, overwhelming or harder than you’d like, you’re welcome to get in touch. Making an enquiry doesn’t commit you to counselling — it’s simply an opportunity to ask questions, talk things through and see whether counselling with me feels right for you.
We can have an initial conversation, answer any questions you may have and see whether I might be the right person to support you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in my first counselling session?
The first session is an opportunity to talk about what has brought you to counselling and what you’d like help with. You don’t have to tell me everything straight away, and we’ll take things at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Do I need to know exactly what’s wrong before starting counselling?
No. Many people come to counselling knowing that something doesn’t feel right without being able to explain exactly why. We can start with whatever feels easiest to talk about and make sense of things together.
How long does counselling take?
There isn’t one answer because everyone and every situation is different. Some people find a shorter period of counselling helpful, while others prefer to have more time to explore things in greater depth.
Is counselling confidential?
What you talk about with me is treated as confidential, and I’ll explain how confidentiality works when we first meet. There are a few important exceptions relating to serious concerns about someone’s safety, which we’ll discuss openly rather than leaving you wondering.
Do you offer counselling for teenagers?
Yes. I work with teenagers as well as young adults and adults, and I have substantial experience working with young people in education and counselling. With younger clients, I’ll explain clearly how confidentiality and communication with parents or carers work.
Do you offer online counselling as well as face-to-face counselling in Cheltenham?
Yes. I offer face-to-face counselling from a calm, dedicated therapy room at Therabode in central Cheltenham, as well as online counselling for clients across the UK.
