I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor based in Bournemouth, working with adults and young people over the age of 16,. I work from The Coastal Practice, 98 Broadway in Southbourne, BH6 4EH. You can confidentially explore your experiences and relationships, without judgement, in the comfortable and calm space which I offer. Working together, we will consider your patterns and ways in the world to help you get to know yourself better.
This awareness supports you to make more informed choices. I know that finding a therapist is a very personal experience so feel free to pick up the phone or email and have a chat with me about your needs.

Services
I came to counselling following a long term interest in psychology and what makes people tick.
During my 17 year business career working in public, private and charitable sectors, my responsibilities were always around people: either through customer services, managing or leading others.
My greatest satisfaction during this time was encouraging members of my team to achieve what they wanted from their career/life and to be the best that they could be.
In 2011, I was fortunate to have space in my life to be able to start my counselling training.

Therapy can help you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential space.
Maybe you have a specific problem or issue that's bothering you, or you are generally dissatisfied or uneasy with life.
You may feel unable to cope, in distress and overwhelmed.
Difficulties can impact in many areas of life including personal and family relationships, and at work, school, college.
Problems can even manifest through physical symptoms.

My calm presence offers support so that you feel safe enough to explore difficulties and challenges.
I offer 50 minute sessions, usually weekly, on the same day and at the same time.
We may work either short term for 8-12 sessions, or longer term.
Either way, we will consider your needs together and agree on your priorities and timescales.
As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I am interested in your experiences and perspective; some of which you may know and some of which we might discover together.
I believe that we are always trying and adapting to be the best that we can be and sometimes old patterns get in the way.

Sessions are usually weekly and are charged at 55. Payment methods are agreed between us and can be by cash on the day, or by bank transfer in advance.
I offer initial therapy appointments for the usual 50 minutes to give you a chance to meet me, and for me to check that I am the right person to support you.
I am sometimes able to offer a slightly reduced fee for clients on benefits or who are students and please do ask.
If you need to cancel an appointment, please advise me at least one week in advance.
