Counselling
with me

I offer individual counselling, couples counselling, walk and talk sessions and cancer counselling, each shaped around what you need. The first session is a chance to see whether we’re the right fit, with no commitment beyond it.

01

Individual counselling

A confidential, one-to-one space to talk about whatever is on your mind, at your own pace. People come to me with anxiety, low mood, grief, burnout or big life changes. You don’t need to be in crisis, or know what to call what you’re feeling, to get in touch.

50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, in person in Bridgwater, by video call or by phone.

£30 for the introductory session, then £60 per session.

Couples counselling

For two people who want to look at their relationship together, with me there to help you both feel heard. It’s for any couple at any stage, whether you’re stuck in the same arguments, rebuilding trust or taking stock. You don’t have to agree on what’s wrong to come.

50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, best in person in Bridgwater, with online sessions if travel isn’t realistic.

£100 per session.

Walk and talk

The same counselling I offer in the room, held outdoors as we walk side by side. Many people find it easier to talk while moving. Routes are gentle, no particular fitness is needed, and we can adapt the walk around any mobility concerns.

50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, on quiet routes in the Quantock Hills, moving indoors or online if the weather turns.

£30 for the introductory walk, then £60 per session.

Cancer counselling

One-to-one support for people living with cancer or another life-limiting illness, and for the family and friends alongside them. I spent 18 years in the NHS, much of it with people facing cancer and those who love them. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment or past it, we go at your pace.

50 minutes, weekly or fortnightly, in person in Bridgwater, by video call or by phone, which can be easier during treatment.

£30 for the introductory session, then £60 per session.
