A confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's on your mind — and begin to find a way forward.
Counselling is a talking therapy between a client and a trained professional. I offer a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can discuss your thoughts, feelings and concerns at your own pace. I listen with compassion and respect, supporting you in making your own decisions — rather than telling you what to do.
Unlike conversations with friends or family, counselling is different because I won't share my own experiences, pass judgement, or prescribe solutions. Instead, we work together to help you identify what's challenging you, understand the triggers behind certain behaviours, and recognise patterns that may be holding you back.
Keeping difficult emotions bottled up can be damaging and leave people feeling stuck and unable to progress. Counselling offers a way through.
Together, we can work towards positive and lasting change. This might include:
The length of counselling varies depending on the individual and what you'd like to work on. Some people see meaningful change in as few as six sessions; others find that longer-term work better suits their needs. Progress is reviewed regularly, and you always decide what feels right for you — there's no pressure to continue beyond what you find helpful.
I work with adults and young people aged 13 and over. Before we begin, I offer a free 30-minute telephone consultation — a chance to talk about what's brought you to counselling, ask any questions you might have, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit. There's no obligation to proceed.
My in-person sessions are held at Buckland Park Lake — a tranquil location set among woodland and countryside on the outskirts of Reigate.
A consulting room in central Reigate, offering a convenient location if you'd prefer to meet closer to town.
If you'd rather meet from home — or can't travel easily — sessions are available by secure video or telephone, anywhere in the UK. Many people find them just as effective as meeting in person, with the added comfort of being somewhere familiar.
If sitting face to face feels daunting, we can talk while walking side by side at Buckland Park Lake. Being outdoors, gently moving and surrounded by nature often makes it easier to open up, think things through and feel at ease — many people find it a calmer, less pressured way to work. Walk and talk sessions take place at Buckland Park Lake and are priced the same as in-person sessions, at £70 per 50 minutes.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
In-person sessions at Buckland Park Lake, near Reigate, are £70 per 50-minute session. Online and telephone sessions are £50. A 6-session block is available for £390 (£65 per session). A free 30-minute telephone consultation is offered with no commitment.
No. You can self-refer directly — you do not need a GP referral to see a private counsellor or psychotherapist. Simply get in touch to arrange a free initial consultation.
This varies between individuals. Some people benefit from short-term focused work (6–12 sessions); others prefer longer-term counselling. Progress is reviewed regularly and you can end at any time.
Yes. All sessions are completely confidential. I work within the BACP Ethical Framework and only break confidentiality in very limited circumstances involving serious risk of harm. The limits are explained fully in the first session.
Research shows online counselling is equally effective as face-to-face therapy for most issues. Many clients prefer the convenience and comfort of attending from home. Both options are available so you can choose what suits you best.
The first session is a chance to get to know each other, talk about what has brought you to counselling, and begin to agree what you'd like to work on. There's no pressure — nothing you are expected to discuss before you feel ready.
Reaching out is the hardest part. Book your free 30-minute consultation — no commitment and no pressure.
