In-Person

I have a dedicated room at my home that I use for therapy purposes

which can be entered through my garden gate.  This room is quiet and

confidential and looks calm and cosy.  There is plenty of on-street parking

and my address is easy to get to.  There is a bus stop about 5 minutes

walk away and the train station is around a 10 minute walk.

Please note, for safety reasons, when arranging counselling for the first

time, we will have an initial meeting online for around 15 minutes for us

both to meet and ensure we are happy to work together.  After this, if you

want to continue then I will send out my paperwork for you to complete

and arrange a first booking.  Once this is paid for and I have received your paperwork then I will release my address details.  I also have a camera set up within the garden for safeguarding reasons which will record people on entrance and exit - please see my privacy policy for more information.

Please note: There are no toilet facilities available on site. Public toilets can be found locally at the Leisure Centre Car Park (Glanvilles Mill) or Tesco Lee Mill.

Online

I am very happy to work and see people online using either Zoom or WhatsApp.  Both systems are end to end encrypted and many people now are very confident in using this method.  Online working is very useful if you don't live locally or at times when face to face counselling doesn't work for you.  

​

Email

I have completed specific training on counselling via email.  This can be a really beneficial way of conducting counselling for some people, for instance, those who work nights, those who might struggle with high levels of anxiety or people who are considering and questioning their identity to name a few. Email counselling works on agreeing a specific day and time each week for each of us to send our emails and if this is something that interests you then please ask me for my information sheet.  I only work in this way for those 18 and over.

​

​Walk and Talk

I am insured to conduct walk and talk therapy when needed for those aged 16 and over.  I do this at a local park where I have risk assessed the route.  It is a gentle, circular stroll with plenty of areas to sit out of the way of passing people.  This is weather dependant and something I can't always do due to needing to manage my own health and energy levels etc but I am very happy to talk about this further if you would like this opportunity from time to time.
