If you are considering therapy
If you're wondering whether this kind of work might be right for you, you're welcome to get in touch. I offer a free, brief initial phone consultation where we can talk a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we speak.
Sometimes the first step is simply opening up the conversation.

How we work together
Everyone comes to therapy with a different history, different needs and their own way of making sense of the world. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, adapting our work to you rather than following a fixed method.
​
We might explore experiences and relationships that have shaped you, notice patterns in how you respond to situations, or pay attention to how feelings show up in your body. Sometimes images, metaphors or creative ways of exploring an experience can help us approach something that is difficult to put into words.
​
Where appropriate, I also incorporate hypnotherapy as another way of working with habitual responses and exploring possibilities for change.
​
We work collaboratively, at a pace that feels manageable, with space for both understanding what's happening and finding different ways of responding.
A space to understand what you're going through
Sometimes we know we're struggling, but we're not quite sure why. We might find ourselves worrying more than we'd like, repeating familiar patterns in relationships, or feeling unsettled by changes in our lives.
​
Counselling offers a space to slow down, explore what's happening and begin to understand what might be contributing to how you feel. Together, we can look at your experiences, the beliefs and patterns you've developed over time, and what you need in your life now.
​
Understanding can be an important part of change, but it isn't always enough on its own. We can also pay attention to your feelings and bodily responses, and explore different ways of relating to difficult experiences.
You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with what's happening for you now.
Online & outdoor
Online sessions
I offer online counselling across the UK and EU, in English and Polish, so you can access sessions from a familiar, private space.

Outdoor sessions in East Devon
For some people, being outdoors offers a different kind of space for reflection. We might walk together (walk-and-talk), sit quietly or pause to notice the landscape around us. You don't need to be particularly outdoorsy or physically active; nature simply becomes part of the space in which we work.
​
Outdoor sessions take place in agreed locations in East Devon (arranged in suitable outdoor settings around the Seaton, Sidmouth, Axminster and Honiton area, depending on location, accessibility and availability). We'll discuss practicalities, including privacy and weather, before deciding whether this way of working is right for you.
​
Whether we meet online or in nature, the focus remains on you and what you want to explore.
