Hello, I'm a highly experienced psychodynamic counsellor, in private practice for 18 years.
My training in Contemporary Psychodynamic Counselling began in 2002. This was an incredibly intense 4 year programme run by the University of Leicester. I think it was probably the most enlightening and transformational experience of my life.
I am proud to say I professionally qualified with a distinction. But as intense as this was, it was only the beginning.
Upon qualifying in 2006 I worked as a school and college counsellor in Leicestershire whilst simultaneously launching my first private practice in Peckleton village. The practice developed and I expanded my service to the Stoneygate region of Leicestershire.
In 2014 I launched Hinckley Counselling, a group private practice. This is a very successful practice with 5 professionals offering different services.
Leicester Private Counselling was launched in 2017. My practice, located in Kirby Muxloe provides a much needed private health service for local women. From 2019 I added phone and online counselling to my services - which means I can reach women UK wide.
In addition to the above my professional clinical practice also includes EAP (Employee Assistance Programmes) work with GP referral clients via Primary Care Trusts involving CORE evaluation.
I also work with psychologists, corporate businesses, local and UK wide organisations - accepting patient and employee referrals.
My professional experience and specialist CPD study has enabled me to develop as a private care provider, and to become an expert in working with women.
I now help record numbers of professional women, young mothers, midlife women and older women. My continual study and extensive clinical experience all add to the value I bring to my clients.
A Registered Accredited Member with The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, my private practice is located in Kirby Muxloe. You can verify my credentials with this professional organisation.
You and me
Its an interesting thing. Whilst qualifications matter very much, nobody asks, really. What we all seem to be more concerned about is the 'fit', how we interact together, how we relate to each other.
I come from place of thoughtful and non judgemental understanding. This is my priority. All too often it is something that was, and perhaps still is, missing from people’s lives.
No matter what, I support you where you are. Support is crucial. Again it was/is often absent in our lives.
I offer you a safe space so you can allow yourself to let go, even just a little. This is often a complete revelation for the women I work with, who are often in the position of supporting and caring for everyone else.
There are many painful experiences that women are faced with at different stages of their lives:
Infertility. Loss of babies. Their own difficult childhoods. Mother-daughter problems…
...Abortion. Mother-daughter relationship. Transitions. Midlife issues. Body image. Society pressures. Post natal suffering. Pre natal suffering. Empty nests. Loss of loved ones. Menopause. Breast cancer. Cancer. Relationship to food, Maternal issues, Loss.
Counselling helps you to resolve what hurts. Beneath all the symptoms of depression, unhappiness and anxiety we can often see what really matters. This is where the counselling is most needed. This is where I can help you.
What to expect
The clients I see gain on so many levels . Their health improves. They feel empowered. They make decisions more easily - often ending something that no longer serves them. They get their life back.
They feel deeply understood, perhaps for the first time - this alone allows stress to drop away.
They feel lighter, hopeful and less defended. They realise what their behaviour is about. This brings closure.
They realise what matters.
They look at their loved ones in a different way. Their relationships are deeper and more loving.
They sleep well!
I see clients at either my private practice in Kirby Muxloe LE9, or online. I use FaceTime or WhatsApp video.

The cost
My fee is £85.00 for a 1 hour private session.
I offer a free 20 minute Introductory Call for those who want it. It’s your chance to ask questions and for us both to talk a little bit about your needs and reasons for counselling.
Disclaimer
Counselling is NOT a substitute for a GP consultation. I do not diagnose or offer medical treatment of any kind. If you are ill, please see your Doctor.
Ethical Practice
I can’t help everyone. I do not knowingly work beyond my limits of competence.
If I feel that my competence, my skills, my clinical experience and my counselling modality are likely to be insufficient / unsuitable / unhelpfuI I will say so. This can be prior to or during counselling. It may occur on the first session, or 2 years on. The length of time we have been working together is irrelevant. Sometimes a situation can arise or a change may occur which is of a nature that I cannot help you with. My absolute priority is maintaining your best interests.
In maintaining your best interests it may be that I advise you of other professionals or services who are better qualified to meet your needs. There may be specialist organisations that are better placed to support you. This is extremely ethically important and something that professional bodies, The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society are very clear about. In the event of a referral I will do my best to offer you more appropriate professionals/organisations for you to consider.
We are all different. Whilst the services I provide are extremely helpful for the majority, I must stress that I cannot and do not provide any form of guarantee in symptom reduction.
*Please note* I do not work with issues related to current/historic abuse, in all forms, or child protection.
