Counselling & Psychotherapy that fits around you.
In Oxfordshire & Online.
A collaborative and integrative approach to help you better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges and move forward towards better clarity and confidence.
A PERSONALISED APPROACH BUILT AROUND YOU
Counselling & Psychotherapy isn’t a one-size fits-all approach.
No two people arrive at therapy with the same experiences, relationships, goals or reasons for seeking support. That's why I work in an integrative and pluralistic way, tailoring therapy to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular model or way of working.
At the heart of counselling and psychotherapy is a genuine, collaborative relationship built on trust, curiosity and respect. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, explore what's happening beneath the surface and better understand yourself without judgement.
Some people come to therapy wanting space to reflect and process difficult experiences. Others want practical ways of navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions or recurring patterns that no longer serve them. Many people benefit from a combination of both.
Rather than following a fixed formula, I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on what is most likely to support you at that point in your journey. My work is grounded in Person-Centred Therapy and informed by approaches including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and neuroscience-informed ideas where appropriate.
The aim isn't simply to understand what's happening. It's to help you better understand yourself, create meaningful change and move forwards in a way that feels right for you.
AREAS OF SUPPORT
Whatever has brought you here, we'll start there.
People often come to therapy because they have reached a point where they want things to feel different.
They may feel:
Stuck in patterns they don't fully understand
Constantly thinking about everyone else's needs before their own
Successful on the outside, but struggling underneath
Feeling disconnected from themselves or the life they've built
Repeating the same relationship dynamics
Carrying pressure, responsibility or expectations that never seem to switch off
Questioning what comes next
Feeling overwhelmed, lost, frustrated or emotionally exhausted
Wanting more from life, but not knowing where to begin
Aware that something needs to change, but unsure what that change looks like
Counselling and psychotherapy can provide the space to slow down, make sense of what's happening, and explore what moving forward might look like for you.

THE PROCESS
How Counselling & Psychotherapy Work.
01
Free Call
A free 15-minute call.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, which is why I offer a free 15-minute introductory call.
This gives us an opportunity to briefly discuss what has brought you here, answer any initial questions, and explore whether counselling feels like the right next step. You may not fully know at this stage, but that’s totally fine.
There is no pressure and no obligation.
Simply an opportunity to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
02
Initial Consultation
Beginning the work.
If you decide to proceed, we'll arrange an Initial Consultation.
This is a 50-minute session where we begin exploring what has brought you to therapy, what you would like support with, and your best hopes for our work together.
We'll also discuss any relevant background, current challenges and what you would like therapy to offer you moving forward.
The Initial Consultation forms part of the therapeutic process and helps us build a foundation for our work together.
03
Therapy Sessions
Exploring what matters.
Sessions are 50 minutes and usually take place weekly to begin with.
Some people use counselling to better understand themselves and their experiences. Others are looking to navigate a specific challenge, improve relationships, process difficult emotions, or create meaningful change.
As an integrative therapist, I draw upon a range of approaches depending on your needs, preferences and goals. We regularly review what feels helpful and adapt our work accordingly.
04
Review & Ending
Ending well.
Our work together does not have a fixed end point.
Some people attend for a relatively short period around a particular issue, whilst others choose to continue for longer.
We review progress throughout our work together and discuss openly how things are feeling.
When the time feels right, we plan an ending collaboratively, ensuring it feels considered rather than abrupt.
If you require support in the future you are more than welcome to return.
WAYS OF WORKING
Where our sessions take place.
In-Person Counselling & Psychotherapy in Oxfordshire.
A DEDICATED SPACE AWAY FROM EVERYDAY LIFE.
I offer counselling and psychotherapy from my private garden therapy room in Upper Heyford, near Bicester, Oxfordshire (OX25).
For many people, there is something valuable about stepping away from the demands of daily life and entering a dedicated space designed for reflection, conversation and self-understanding.
The therapy room provides a calm, comfortable and confidential environment where you can pause, think more clearly, and focus entirely on yourself without distraction.
Online Counselling & Psychotherapy.
PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT WHEREVER YOU ARE.
Online counselling offers the same thoughtful and collaborative approach as in-person therapy, with the flexibility to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home or workplace.
Many of my clients lead busy professional and personal lives, and online sessions can make therapy more accessible around work, family commitments, travel or location.
For some people, being in a familiar environment can also make it easier to talk openly and engage fully in the therapeutic process.
Available throughout the UK and internationally.
Walking & Talk Therapy in Oxfordshire.
SOMETIMES MOVEMENT CREATES MOVEMENT.
For some people, conversation flows more naturally whilst walking side-by-side rather than sitting face-to-face.
Walk & Talk Therapy combines counselling with the benefits of gentle movement and time spent outdoors in nature.
Many clients find that being outside helps create perspective, reduces the intensity of difficult conversations and encourages reflection in a different way.
Sessions take place in carefully selected local edge of the Cotswolds locations in Oxfordshire and can be discussed as part of our work together.
What you can expect from working together.
-
I don't believe everybody benefits from exactly the same type of therapy. As an integrative and pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I tailor our work around you, your experiences, preferences and goals. Together, we'll decide what feels most helpful rather than following a rigid one-size-fits-all approach.
-
Not necessarily. Some sessions may involve exploring emotions, relationships or recurring patterns, whilst others may focus on developing insight, navigating challenges or identifying practical ways forward. Therapy is collaborative and evolves alongside your needs.
-
Yes. Some people benefit from having space to reflect and process their experiences, whilst others are looking for greater clarity, understanding and practical ways of moving forward. Often, our work will involve a balance of both, depending on what feels most helpful for you.
-
Absolutely. Many people arrive unsure where to begin or find it difficult to put their experiences into words. There is no expectation to have everything figured out before starting. Therapy can provide a supportive space to gradually explore what's happening at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
-
Yes. Therapy isn't static, and neither are people. What feels helpful at the beginning of therapy may evolve over time. An integrative and pluralistic approach allows our work to adapt as your understanding, goals and circumstances develop.
-
Therapy is a collaborative process rather than something that is done to you. Together, we'll regularly explore what's working well, what's feeling helpful and what you may want from our sessions moving forward.
Ready to take the first step?
If you've found your way to this page, there's a good chance you've recognised something in your own experience.
You may already know what you'd like support with, or perhaps you're simply looking for a therapist whose approach feels right for you.
The first step is to book an Initial Consultation. This is a 50–60 minute appointment where we'll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss what you're hoping to gain from counselling, and answer any questions you may have. It's also an opportunity for us both to consider whether my way of working feels like the right fit.
As an integrative and pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is tailored to you, your experiences, your strengths and your goals.
There is no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards. If we both feel we're the right fit to work together, we'll agree a plan for ongoing therapy at a pace that feels right for you.
