If you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed with life, I am here to help.

I have been a counsellor for over 20 years now and have a lot of experience in helping people feel better!

I now also see couples F2F or online and charge £90 for a couples session.

I also offer a reduced price for people who cannot afford my rates.

I always have two slots available free of charge. These slots are often full but please don't be scared to ask if they are available.

For years now I have supported therapists to set up in private practice. It's what I do.

I have so many ways to help you!

You might want to join one of my live events. I run them in May and September every year.

You can join my Private Practice Support Hub to receive monthly support from me.

Get in touch, and we can discuss ways I can mentor you to set up in private practice.

I am a fully qualified Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (SNCPSAcc.)

I am accredited to Column C in SCoPEd.

I qualified as a counsellor in 2005 and as a supervisor in 2009.

My counselling training was with Persona Counselling in Scotland, and my supervision training was with PCT Britain.

I have previously been a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the BACP.

My Live Events are endorsed by the NCPS as online quality-checked CPD Training events.

I am also a Board Member for the Psychologists Protection Society (PPS)

Since qualifying, I have set up three counselling services. Two of them are in my local community and to date, they still make a huge difference to the local people who use the services.

These counselling services also became placement opportunities for trainee counsellors and are still recognised by the universities as good placement opportunities for students in training.

I also set up my own private practice in 2008. My private practice has grown through two recessions and a pandemic, and I have never paid a penny for advertising. In my role as a supervisor, I regularly support trainees at the end of their training to set up their own counselling services.

I also have an online business where I train and support counsellors to set up in private practice. I lecture at universities and Onlinevents about setting up in private practice.

My Live Events are endorsed by the
NCPS as online quality quality-checked CPD Training events.

I have supported hundreds and hundreds of therapists to set up in private practice.

You are in safe hands I promise!

At my live events, which are usually online, we will connect over Zoom.

I will be present with a slide show where I will talk you through everything I think you need to know to get you started with your private practice.

The live event will be interactive and audience participation encouraged via the chat room. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A for the latter part of the event. Here you can ask me anything about setting up in private practice.

The Private Practice Support Hub is here to give you a place to feel supported, ask questions, and feel on track with what you are doing.

This is a small, supportive membership for counsellors and therapists who want ongoing support and guidance while they build their private practice.
