What Next?

Who Do I work With?

Please get in touch by clicking on one of the links to my email or phone me with your details, and I will get back to you as quickly as I can.

We will arrange a time to meet for an assessment, when you can tell me why you have decided to come to counselling and what you hope to achieve from our time together.

Individual 1:1 Counselling

I practice open-ended counselling for individuals, meeting weekly at a regular time. We will talk about what is happening in the here and now, but we will also explore your early years' experiences and the impact that your childhood might be having on you now.

Single Session Therapy

Single session therapy (SST) is for people who would like to come and talk about a specific issue or concern, with the intention that therapy is a one-off. However, additional sessions can be arranged, or another SST can be scheduled periodically going forward. The sessions are proactive and collaborative. Following the session, resources may be sent to you, along with strategies that were discussed.  

Couples Counselling

Sessions can be a little bit more spread out for couples, as we may meet weekly or fortnightly. The work is more short-term, typically 8-10 sessions in total. After the initial consultation, I will meet with each partner individually before we return as a group for the remaining sessions.

Young Adults (16 - 18 year olds)

Working in a proactive and often solution-focused way, I aim to help young adults move forward with clarity and resilience. Sessions also offer the opportunity to talk through worries, concerns and emotional struggles in a non-judgmental environment.

Parental consent is required. I do not work with young adults in crisis.  

Support Groups

I am currently working with A L & G Abbott Funeral Directors as their bereavement counsellor, alongside supporting their clients on a 1:1 basis. I am also running two bereavement support groups. I facilitate an open group, meaning anyone can drop in with no commitment at The Church of Transfiguration, Kempston AND a closed group, meaning the participant commits to the 6 sessions with their cohort and sees the sessions through with each other from start to finish. Please look at the dedicated tab on the menu bar for more details.

Other group meetings will be advertised throughout the year and will follow a theme. For example, we might cover the menopause, uniting women at a similar stage in their lives to share experiences and create a support group.

When and where?

I am able to offer a variety of options for us to work together: in person, face-to-face, over Zoom or via the telephone, whatever suits you. If you would like to work face-to-face, my therapy room is on the first floor at Latrobe Cottage, 21 St Cuthbert's St, Bedford MK40 3JB.
