Counselor and Therapist

(MNCPS)

Your journey with me begins here.

 

If anxiety is affecting your everyday life, past experiences have left you feeling lost, withdrawn, or uncertain about what lies ahead, or you feel like you’ve run out of answers, you don’t have to face it alone.

 

You may already know what’s wrong, or you might just feel that something isn’t right. You could feel anxious, low, overwhelmed, or unlike yourself. Whatever you’re carrying, I offer a safe, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of things at your own pace.

 

I provide a confidential environment online or in person in Nottingham, where your needs remain at the centre of our work together. My role is to help you feel heard, understood, and accepted, without judgement or pressure.

 

Person-centred therapy gives you the space to talk openly about what matters to you. As we explore your thoughts and feelings together, things may begin to feel clearer. You may start to understand yourself more deeply, recognise patterns, and feel more grounded in the choices you make.

 

My approach is calm, compassionate, and tailored to you. I support clients with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, emotional distress, trauma/abuse, bereavement, low self-worth, and difficult life experiences.

 

Mindfulness and coping strategies

 

Alongside person-centred therapy, I also offer mindfulness-based techniques and practical coping strategies where appropriate.

 

This may include breathing exercises, meditation, or simple tools to manage anxiety, stress, or panic in the moment, helping you feel more in control day to day.

 

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and see whether this feels like the right support for you.

 

If you feel ready to reach out, I would welcome the chance to work with you.

 

Just use the enquiry form or send me an email, and I’ll be in touch.

If you are considering psychotherapy but do not know where to start, a free initial consultation is the perfect first step. It will allow you to explore your options, ask questions, and feel more confident about taking the first step towards your well-being.

It is a 30-minute, completely free meeting with a Mental Health specialist that does not obligate you to anything.

Potential benefits of a free initial consultation

During this first session: potential clients have the chance to learn more about you and your approach before agreeing to work together.

Offering a free consultation will help you build trust with the client. It shows them that you want to give them a chance to make sure you are the right person to help them before they move forward. Additionally, you should also be confident that you can support your clients and that the client has problems that you can help them cope with. Also, you can avoid any ethical difficult situations about charging a client for a session in which you choose not to proceed based on fit.

We've found that people are more likely to proceed with therapy after a free consultation, as it lowers the barrier to starting the process. Many people starting therapy are apprehensive about the unknown, even if they've had sessions before. Our culture associates a "risk-free" mindset with free offers, helping people feel more comfortable during the initial conversation with a specialist.

Another key advantage for Specialist

Specialists offering free initial consultations will be featured prominently in our upcoming advertising campaign, giving you greater visibility.

It's important to note that the initial consultation differs from a typical therapy session:
