Here are some answers to commonly asked questions:
The first session is a chance for us to meet, talk about what has brought you here, and see if we feel like a good fit to work together.
There’s no pressure - it’s simply a safe space to begin.
Yes. I offer a free, no-obligation 10-minute Zoom call for anyone considering counselling or supervision.
This is a gentle way for us to meet, ask questions, and see if we feel comfortable working together.
Yes, many clients, supervisees, and students find online sessions just as safe, supportive, and effective as in-person work.
They also offer flexibility and continuity, especially if location or travel is a challenge.
Having recently followed my dream and relocated to Scotland, I now offer all sessions online. This allows me to continue providing flexible and accessible support, no matter where you are in the UK - or beyond
Counselling can support you with many areas of life, including (but not limited to):
Yes, my practice is fully LGBTQ+ inclusive.
Whoever you are, and however you identify, you will be welcomed, respected, and supported without judgement.
There is no set number. Some people come for a few sessions, others for longer-term work. We will review regularly together and you decide what feels right for you.
Yes, everything you share is confidential, with a few important exceptions: if I believe there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if there are safeguarding or legal requirements. We can talk this through fully in our first session.
Yes. I work with adults and teenagers (11+) in counselling sessions. For younger children (ages 3-11), I offer therapeutic play sessions within primary schools - please contact me directly for more information.
Yes, I offer supervision for both trainee and qualified counsellors. For trainees, I provide additional support around placement requirements, professional development, and navigating the challenges of training.
Yes. This is a growing specialisation of mine. I provide supervision that is neurodiversity-affirming, flexible, and respectful of difference. My aim is to create a safe and supportive space where Autistic counsellors can reflect on their work without masking, and where their lived experiences are recognised as strengths.
The BACP minimum requirement is 1.5 hours of supervision per month. Many counsellors choose to have more, depending on their caseload.
We will discuss and agree what feels right for you.
Yes. I offer reduced supervision fees for counselling students. Please see my Fees page for details.
I mentor university students at all levels — from entry level to undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral.
Mentoring is about more than academic support. It includes strategies for managing study and daily life, guidance around mental health and disabilities, and encouragement to build independence and confidence.
Counselling focuses on personal growth and emotional wellbeing, while mentoring is more practical - supporting your studies, confidence, and day-to-day challenges. Both are supportive but serve different purposes.
