COUNSELLING IN HERTFORDSHIRE
"When someone really hears you without passing judgement on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good."
Carl R. Rogers, pioneer of person-centred therapy
ABOUT ME
​
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor based in Hertfordshire, offering counselling for adults aged 18 and over. I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and provide in-person counselling in Borehamwood, as well as online and telephone therapy across the UK.
​
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the principles of person-centred counselling, which means I work alongside you to understand the difficulties you’re facing, offering a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space. I listen carefully to your unique experience and support you in developing greater self-awareness, emotional understanding, and resilience.
​
I am an accredited NHS Talking Therapies counsellor, with specialist training in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CFD). This evidence-based approach integrates emotion-focused therapy techniques to support clients struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood, and emotional overwhelm. It offers a meaningful alternative to CBT, focusing on emotional processing and deeper self-understanding.
​
In addition to my private practice, I support clients through the NHS Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression Service (formerly known as IAPT).
​
I work with a wide range of issues, including:
-
Bereavement and grief counselling
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Health-related challenges, including cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, and menopause
-
Work-related stress and burnout
-
Relationship and family issues - including emotional expression; parenthood.
-
Low self-esteem and confidence
-
Cultural identity, spirituality, and LGBTQIA+ support
-
Neurodiversity (including ADHD and autism-related challenges)​
-
Trauma or past difficult experiences, including childhood trauma, trauma from difficult relationships and difficulties with emotional regulation.​​​
My counselling practice is located in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, easily accessible from Elstree & Borehamwood Thameslink Station, with free parking nearby. Sessions are held weekly, last 50 minutes, and are available face-to-face, online via Zoom, or by telephone.
Fee: £65 per session
Concessions Available: I offer a limited number of concessionary rates for those on low income or facing financial difficulties. Please feel free to mention this during our initial consultation.

​"Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way."

I understand that it can be daunting taking that first step towards seeking support.
​
If you feel you might be comfortable talking with me please do get in touch. Following a brief telephone chat, I offer a 30 minute telephone call for us to think about what has brought you to counselling at this time in your life, for me to share how I might be able to support you and for us to consider together whether it would be helpful for us to work together. There is no charge for this and you are under no obligation to book a session.
