The simple answer is no. The space and session is yours as the client to use in any way you wish to.

simple answer no. If you want the same time and day each week then it’s best to book that slot. Counselling can be hard with breaks in between and can work better for some peoole to have regular sessions. However i’m aware that work and shifts can often make that difficult. So we can work in a way to suit you.

simple answer no!

Creative therapy can include doodling, using sand, paint, buttons, therapy cards, games, fairytales and stones to name a few. They are there as a way of exploring what can often be difficult to put into words and help navigate in a non judgmental safe way.

simple answer yes! It's good to have a journal and pens and paper handy. We can negotiate how we will work and with what and work to your needs

Yes you can stim and fidget. I have lots of fidgets and things to fiddle with if you need them. Or bring your own. Whatever you feel comfortable with. If you feel you need to move about, thats fine too. If eye contact is difficult, we can work around that for your needs.

No.

The session is yours and i’m there to hold a safe non judgmental space for you. You won’t be made to do anything you’re not comfortable with. The creative items are there and available for anyone who wants to explore them. You can use the time in the way you feel comfortable with.

Supervision is a supportive, reflective space where we think together about your work, your clients and your practice. It supports safe, ethical practice while also looking after you as a practitioner.

Creative supervision is not about art or being “creative”. It’s about doing things differently, adapting the process to suit you as an individual. This might involve conversation, reflection, metaphor, noticing patterns, or exploring things in ways that feel more natural when words alone aren’t enough.

I offer supervision to counsellors, therapists and other helping professionals who value reflection, discretion and honest conversation. Supervision with me is collaborative rather than directive, and always held in a safe, confidential space where you can trust that what you bring stays there.

I offer 60 and 90 minute sessions, online, in person, or as a mix. I also provide unlimited support between sessions via calls, email and WhatsApp to support your ongoing practice. Alongside reflective work, I support the growth of your practice or business in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

Limited student concessions are available.

Single session therapy is a one-off, 90-minute session focused on one specific issue you’d like support with. It’s designed for people who want clarity, grounding or direction without committing to ongoing therapy.

Before the session, you’ll be asked to complete a short form. This helps clarify what you want to focus on and allows the session to be used intentionally and effectively.

The session is collaborative, practical and supportive. We’ll explore what’s going on for you now, what feels stuck, and what might help move things forward, without pressure to revisit your entire history, so you can leave and get back to living your life.

Although this is a single session, you are always welcome to return for another session or explore ongoing therapy if you choose. There is no expectation or obligation.

• 90-minute session

• One issue

• £100

Rewind Therapy is a non evasive trauma-focused approach that can help reduce the impact of traumatic memories, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts. It works with how the brain stores trauma, helping memories feel safely in the past rather than constantly replaying in the present. You do not have to share all your traumas if you dont want to. We can work on whole timelines or single events.

The first session is longer, a min of 2 hours max of 3, with breaks throughout. You can move around, pause, have drinks or snacks, this work is never rushed or forced. Rewind Therapy is typically completed in a single session, followed by a follow-up session to check in and support integration.

You do not need to have had therapy with me before. Rewind Therapy can be a standalone session or part of ongoing therapy.

it can support people experiencing PTSD, C-PTSD, recurring flashbacks, intrusive memories, or trauma that feels stuck and unresolved. While no therapy works for everyone, Rewind Therapy has excellent outcomes for many people including myself living with the effects of trauma.

Sessions are available face-to-face or online.
