TALKING THERAPY SESSIONS

I work one to one with adults (age 18 and over) face to face in Newcastle upon Tyne. I also offer online therapy for anyone in the rest of the UK and other parts of the world.

As a relational integrative psychotherapist I draw on a number of therapeutic interventions and models of therapy to best help individuals understand themselves and their issues.

Relational Integrative Psychotherapy | Psychodynamic Psychotherapy | Transactional Analysis | Somatic Psychotherapy | Attachment-based Therapy | Talking Therapy | Creative Therapy | Sandtray Therapy | Counselling | Online Therapy | Mindfulness

You may be feeling stuck and looking for direction or a new challenge. You may feel you are struggling with relationships, friendships or your career, finding unhelpful behaviours or thoughts are getting in the way or simply want someone to hear you.

I offer a free initial telephone consultation to answer your questions about how I work and what you are looking for from therapy.

If you decide after this you would like to work together we would arrange one or two initial assessment sessions where we would explore in more detail what has led you to seek therapy. We would also discuss in more depth how we would work together and the frequency of your sessions.

I am also a registered psychotherapist with several private health insurance companies (Axa, Aviva, Bupa, and WPA) and have significant experience working with trainee and student therapists.

Sessions are £75 each and last for 50 minutes.

I help adults with a wide range of issues including:

  • Anxiety

  • Low self-esteem or confidence

  • Stress

  • Major life changes

  • Chronic health conditions

  • Trauma

  • Career transitions

  • Relationship difficulties

  • Health anxiety

  • Feeling stuck

  • Self-exploration

  • Identity

  • Childhood issues

  • Isolation

ONLINE COUNSELLING 

Online therapy is increasingly popular and I believe it can be as effective as face to face counselling sessions. You may choose to do all of your therapy sessions online (I have clients from all over the UK) or you may want to do a mix of in-person and online. 

Convenience: You can attend therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or any other location with an internet connection. This can save you time and money on travel.

Flexibility: Not having to factor in travel or extended time away from work makes it easier to find a time that fits your schedule.

Accessibility: Being able to access online counselling is helpful if you live in a more rural area, have transportation challenges, or have difficulty leaving your own home.

Privacy: Online therapy can be a more private and relaxed option for some people than in-person therapy. This is because you can attend sessions from a location where you feel safe and comfortable.

I use Zoom as a platform for my online sessions because it is secure and end-to-end encrypted. We will arrange a backup option before the session (e.g. I will you phone you) should the internet connection fail for one or both of us. The benefits of online counselling are that you can access your sessions from anywhere, however, you will need to ensure you have a quiet space where you will not be interrupted or overheard.
