COVID-19 Update

The BACP advise that the safest and most reliable way of accessing therapy is online or by telephone. If you are unable to access remote sessions safely, I have a very limited number of face-to-face sessions available, offered at your own risk. Read about changes in The Head Shed and in the way that I will conduct COVID-19 Secure sessions.

Location

My personal counselling room in Bignall End is easily accessible from anywhere in the Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Crewe or Nantwich area via either the A500 or A34.

There is dedicated off-road parking in front of our house.

I have directions to our house by car or bus.

Therapy Sessions

The advantage of working with an independent counsellor is that you can have as few or as many sessions as you feel you need, with more say about when and how often they take place. Sessions cost £40, including an initial session which will begin to discuss what you want from counselling, how I might work with you, and establish whether we will be able to work together.

Sessions last one hour, and are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at

9am ◦ 10:30am ◦ 1:30pm ◦ 3pm ◦ 5pm ◦ 7pm

Please make sure you have the means to pay for your session when you arrive. You can pay for your session using:

Contactless VISA/MasterCard ◦ Apple Pay ◦ PayPal

The Head Shed

I have a heated, air-conditioned summer house which we have developed to provide clients with a welcoming, comfortable environment.

Comfy chairs, tissues and bottled water are provided, alongside a plethora of objects and curiosities should your fingers need something to occupy them!

There are more details on the frequently asked questions page.

My Counselling Approach

In your sessions, you can explain to me what’s going on for you in your life, and together we will try and make sense of it. As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I don’t pretend to be an expert in your life: there’s only you in your head that can see the whole of your life. What I do is give you space, and support you whilst you try and make sense of your world so that you can either make the changes that you want to, or decide to be at ease with yourself as you are. Or anything in between!

I only work one-to-one with individuals, I do not offer couples or family counselling services.
