About Me
Approach
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
I offer one-to-one therapy for adults, either online or in person in Bushey. Some people come to therapy with a clear issue — such as anxiety, burnout, shame, or relationship difficulties. Others come with a more general sense of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others.
You don’t need to have a diagnosis or know exactly what’s wrong. Therapy can help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward a way of living that feels more real, grounded, and sustainable.
I also offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can see whether it feels like a good fit to work together.
In-person sessions are £70, reflecting the costs involved. Online sessions are £60. I do offer some discounts depending on circumstances so please inquire if that is prohibitive.
