My private counselling practice, based in Saffron Walden, Essex, is here to help individuals ​facing difficulties around loss (in all its forms), anxiety and dysfunctional behaviour. These are things that many of us experience at some stage, often affecting our physical and mental health – and ultimately the quality of our lives.
 
And that’s where I believe counselling makes a positive difference.
It can enable people to find a better quality of life for themselves.
 
Helpful counselling depends to a large extent on the relationship between counsellor and client, so it’s important to find the right counsellor for you. Easier said than done perhaps!
There are many different approaches – each with benefits and limitations – so it’s worthwhile considering which works for you.
 
To keep it simple, I describe my approach as Person Centred and I occasionally use Cognitive Behavioural techniques where appropriate for the client. My approach may appeal more to those looking for ways to manage their current levels of distress or anxiety rather than explore the historical or unconscious causes.
 

Typically I suggest working with clients for between 4 and 12 sessions - each session ​being 60 minutes. However, it’s important to stress that the number and frequency of sessions is discussed and agreed by the client and myself.

 
Sessions are held either face-to-face in my private consulting room or on-line (ZOOM) and my fee is £60 per session.
 
I hope that’s a helpful summary, but please do contact me for further information ​or to arrange an introductory session.
