Before we begin working together, I believe it’s important that you feel comfortable and

informed. That’s why I offer a free 30-minute phone call to answer any questions you may

have, talk through what you're looking for, and see if it feels like a good fit.

If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule an initial session where we can explore what’s

brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain, and how we might approach this work

together. There’s no pressure—just a space for you to begin at your own pace.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and is tailored to your needs and goals. In our first session,

we’ll gently explore your expectations, any risks that may need to be considered, and any

concerns or questions you might have.

Everything we talk about is kept confidential, and I hold that trust with great care.

Confidentiality is essential to creating a safe, supportive space where you can speak freely

and feel truly heard.

I offer a person-centered, trauma-informed approach to counselling, which means our work

together will be guided by your experiences, your pace, and what feels most supportive for

you.

Sessions are available in a way that suits your lifestyle and comfort—whether that's face-to-

face in a safe, welcoming space, online via Zoom, or over the phone. You're free to choose

the format that feels right for you, and we can be flexible as your needs evolve.

Yes, I work with young people aged 11 and over. My approach is centred around

understanding each young person’s unique world, offering them a safe, supportive space to

express themselves and explore what they’re going through.

I use creative and engaging tools such as games, art, and storytelling to help build trust and

connection. This not only supports emotional growth, but also makes the counselling

process more accessible and meaningful.

Above all, my aim is to ensure that every young person feels heard, valued, and

understood—at their own pace and in their own way.

Each counselling session is £50. I understand that everyone’s situation is different, so I offer

two concession spaces specifically for students and those from low-income households.

If you feel this might apply to you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we can discuss what

might work best to make counselling accessible and supportive for your needs.

My counselling space is located at:

2 The Crescent, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 4EA.

There is convenient parking nearby at Crescent Car Park, just a short walk away at The

Crescent, Taunton (TA1 4ED). The location is also well served by public transport, making it

easy to reach by bus or train.

If you have any questions about accessibility or transport, please feel free to get in

touch—I’m here to help.

I hold a degree in Integrative Counselling and bring many years of experience working with the Somerset Suicide Bereavement Service as a Project Support Lead, where I provided specialist counselling to both young people and adults.

Throughout my practice, I’ve supported clients navigating bereavement—including loss by suicide and domestic violence—as well as working closely with young people to explore relationship dynamics and personal growth.

To ensure I offer the most informed and compassionate care, I have completed additional training in areas that deeply enhance my understanding and skills, including:

• Domestic Violence – The Therapeutic Frame

• Traumatic Bereavement: Working Therapeutically with Adults & Children and Young People (CYP)

• Trauma and the Body: Somatic Techniques Targeting the Vagus Nerve Through Breath and Movement (Adults & CYP)

• MBACP Registered
