How can Counselling and Therapy Help? 

It can provide a sanctuary and space for people to reflect on themselves, their lives and relationships, in order to overcome and understand many challenging experiences, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and loss.

How will we meet?

I work online using online video platforms, such as Zoom and also offer sessions via telephone, having undertaken specialist training in these forms of therapy.

About myself.

I have been practicing counselling since 2008, having started my counselling training in 2004. My counselling experience includes working in UK healthcare services, before moving to Northern Spain, where I continue to work with people from around the world online or via telephone.

Type of Therapies and Specialities 

I have trained in therapies called “Person Centred” Counselling and in “Psychodynamic” Counselling.

Put simply…..”Person Centred” Counselling is informed by the idea that we have the potential to be our best form of ourselves, but that we can lose our way and may need to find ways back to fulfilling our potential….. “Psychodynamic” Counselling places an emphasis on our current lived experiences and how our past influences them, with the hope of having more choice and awareness today. I also practice “Integrative” Counselling which brings together both forms of therapy.

I am a specialist counsellor in physical health conditions, in particular with respect to cancer, mobility issues, chronic pain, rare diseases and conditions. For people who have rare conditions and diseases – enquiries can be made via https://www.rareminds.org/project/private-therapy/.

I am also a Clinical Supervisor and provide supervision to Counsellors and Psychotherapists. If you are a professional requiring supervision, please contact me directly to discuss what may be possible.

Fees and Sessions

I offer a free initial consultation, in which we can discuss what is bringing you to therapy, whether I am best placed to support you and other questions you may have.

My fee is £80.00 per session or equivalent value in your home currency.

I accept payment in all currencies via PayPal, Wise or bank transfer. Therapy and supervision fee can be discussed at initial contact. I do have some reduced fee slots in my practice, so please do enquire as this availability is limited.
