Therapeutic Counselling
Private Therapeutic Counselling for Adults
Supporting you to Flourish - in a Safe, Creative Space
As a Therapeutic Counsellor I provide one-to-one counselling for adults, offering a gentle, compassionate, and creative space to explore life’s challenges and move toward wellbeing.
How I work With Adults
I tailor therapy to each individual, working relationally, collaboratively, and creatively.
My approach often includes:
- Person-centred and trauma-aware techniques
- Integration of modalities such as Psychodynamic, Internal Family Systems, imagery work
- Creative tools like sand tray, guided imagery, vision boarding, movement and expressive writing
- A feedback-rich, participatory process, because you're the expert in your life
Who I Work With and What I Offer
I support adults with a broad range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety, depression, stress, grief and life transitions
- Relationship challenges, self-esteem, identity and purpose
- Support for adults who suspect or have received a neurodiverse diagnosis.
- Trauma, trauma-related dissociation, and attachment wounds
- Burnout, workplace distress, parenting transitions, loss of belonging, or a sense of disconnection.
I also offer support to parents and professionals returning to adult work, bringing insight from child integrative practice into adult contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in the first session?
We take things slowly. The first session is a chance for you to share what brings you here and what you’re hoping to understand or change. There’s no pressure to talk about anything before you’re ready; we build safety and direction together.
Do we have to use creative methods in therapy?
Not at all. Creative tools, like imagery, sand tray, metaphor or visioning, are available if they feel supportive, but the work can be purely conversational if you prefer. You always lead the direction and pace.
Will you judge my choices and coping mechanisms?
No. Not Ever. This is a non-judgemental, shame-free space. I’m here to support you in understanding your experience, reconnecting with your needs and values, and moving toward a healthier relationship with yourself, whatever choices you make.
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, with a few safeguarding exceptions. Everything you share is treated with care and respect. I’ll always explain if anything needs to be shared for your safety or someone else’s. You can read my full privacy statement on this site.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Sessions are available in person in Bicester, Oxfordshire or online, depending on your preference and accessibility needs.
