Working together
Simple, transparent, at your pace.
I keep the practical side simple so it doesn’t get in the way of the work itself. No hidden costs. No required number of sessions.

A discounted rate. In person on Thursday afternoons and evenings and Friday daytimes; online at other times. Parent or carer consent needed for under 16s.
If money feels like a barrier, please don’t worry about naming it. I hold a small number of reduced-fee spaces when available, and we can explore together what might be possible.
What to expect
You don’t need a plan or a polished story.
Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, whether it’s your first time or you’re returning to the work with someone new. It’s completely normal to feel unsure, hopeful, cautious, or all of these at once. My intention is to make that first meeting feel steady, unhurried and grounded.
Sessions are 50 minutes, usually held weekly, but we can discuss what feels right for you. We begin wherever you are, with whatever feels present, tangled, quiet or unfinished.
The first session is simply a chance for us to meet. You can share as much or as little as you like. We’ll explore what brings you to counselling, what you’re hoping for, and how we might work together. There’s no pressure to commit; the decision to continue is always yours.
Over time, the work becomes a shared space where you can bring the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing or unspoken, as well as the parts that feel hopeful, emerging or ready for change. My role is to offer presence, curiosity and a steady relationship where your experience can unfold at its own pace.
Online or in person
There’s no right or wrong choice.
We can talk about what might suit you best, and you’re welcome to change your mind as the work unfolds.
/in-person
Central Shrewsbury
A calm, private room where we can sit together without interruption. Some people find the physical space helpful for grounding, routine, or a sense of separation from everyday life.
/online
Secure video call
Flexible, and helpful if you prefer the privacy of your own space or find it easier to settle at home. All you need is a phone or computer, a quiet room and a stable connection.
Children & young people
£20 per session.
I work with children and young people at a discounted rate of £20 per session.
For clients under 16, I’ll need consent from a parent or carer and a signed parental agreement before our first session. I’ll also agree a separate contract with the young person, so they know what to expect from our time together.
Face-to-face sessions for young people are on Thursday afternoons and evenings and Friday daytimes in central Shrewsbury, with online sessions at other times.
If you’d like to talk things through first, I offer a free 15 to 20 minute phone call.
The practical bits.
Availability. Get in touch and I’ll reply with my current availability and the next steps.
Cancellations. If you need to cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, my late notice policy applies unless we’ve agreed otherwise. Life happens; just talk to me.
Confidentiality. What you share stays between us, with only a few legal exceptions, such as a risk of serious harm. We’ll go through this clearly before we begin.
Safety. I hold an up-to-date enhanced DBS check and I’m fully insured.
