THERAPUTIC COUNSELLING FOR ADULTS

Counselling Support for Anxiety, Trauma & Life Changes

Life doesn’t always unravel in obvious ways.

Sometimes it’s subtle — increased irritability, emotional numbness, constant worry, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

As a counsellor offering anxiety counselling and medical trauma therapy, I provide space to explore what’s happening beneath that.

Anxiety Counselling

Anxiety can show up as racing thoughts, difficulty sleeping, muscle tension or a constant sense of unease. Together we explore both the thoughts and the underlying emotional experiences that fuel it.

Medical Trauma & Health Anxiety

A diagnosis, hospital experience or ongoing health condition can disrupt your sense of safety in your own body. Medical trauma therapy creates space to process those experiences gently.

Identity & Life Transitions

Becoming a parent. Facing illness. Career changes. Relationship endings. Moments where you think, “I don’t recognise myself anymore.”

Counselling can help you reconnect with who you are now.

Bereavement & Loss

Grief is rarely linear. Therapy offers a space where it doesn’t need to be.

Addiction & Coping Behaviours

When behaviours that once helped you cope start to feel difficult to manage, counselling can support you in understanding what’s underneath them.

Counselling Fees – Online Therapy Sessions

Individual online counselling sessions are £55 for 50 minutes.

Sessions are usually held weekly, particularly at the beginning, although we can discuss what works best for you.

I offer online therapy to adults across Surrey and the UK.

Health Insurance

I am registered with:

  • Aviva

  • WPA

  • Vitality

If you plan to use health insurance for counselling sessions, please check your policy and obtain authorisation before starting.

Payment

Payment can be made via bank transfer or card and is due prior to each session unless otherwise agreed.

Free Introductory Call

If you’re considering anxiety counselling, online therapy or support for medical trauma, you’re welcome to book a free 15-minute introductory call.

It’s simply a conversation — no pressure to continue.
