Person-centred therapy is a form of talking therapy that puts you—the client—at the heart of the process. It is client-led, meaning the direction, pace, and focus of each session is guided by what feels most important to you. Rather than offering advice or solutions, person-centred therapy is based on the belief that you already hold the answers within you. With the right environment, you can access those insights, overcome emotional challenges, and experience meaningful personal growth.

This approach is grounded in the idea that healing happens not through being told what to do, but through being deeply understood, truly heard, and genuinely accepted. In person-centred therapy, your therapist creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and honestly.

The therapist’s role is not to direct or instruct, but to walk alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. These are the essential conditions that allow you to reconnect with your inner strength and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Each session is £40 for 50 minutes. We offer a free 20 minute call to new clients to answer any questions and ensure our approach will be the best solution for your needs.

If you are a care worker or work in the NHS, there is a reduced session cost of £35. Please let me know when you get in touch.

If you are unemployed, reduced rates are available.

There is no fixed-term contract, so you can stop at any time.

We trust that you have all the answers you need, even though it may not feel that way right now. We won’t tell you what to do or what’s causing your tension, instead we’ll work with you to find the answers together. That doesn’t mean we won’t be active in the sessions, but we won’t simply ask ‘how that makes you feel’ like therapists in the movies!

Therapy is a chance to discover yourself and unpick past experiences. This can be difficult to do alone, especially when the answers seem out of your conscious awareness. When you work with a therapist who is able to offer empathy and acceptance, amazing things can happen.

There are very few instances where our approach would not be suitable for you. We specialise in working with common mental health problems such as (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, bereavement, abuse, relationships, addiction and stress.

If you are suffering from a severe and complex mental health problem such as PTSD or schizophrenia, we would recommend a more specialised psychotherapist. We aim to establish suitability through an initial assessment, if we feel you would be better suited to alternative support we will help to signpost you.

Yes, what you say in counselling is generally confidential. We work to the BACP Ethical Framework and UK law to keep your information private.

However, there are some exceptions, such as for safeguarding children or vulnerable adults, terrorism and criminal activity. We will discuss confidentiality during the initial assessment and our contract will outline the process of making a disclosure should it need to be made.

We are here to support you and believe it’s important you feel safe knowing that what we discuss is going to stay private.

It is important to talk about difficult issues like suicide and self-harm so we choose not to disclose it unless you ask us to. We take suicidal thoughts and self-harm very seriously, but our approach is to work with you to create a safety plan to protect you during difficult periods.
