Psychotherapy and counselling for adults
Burford - Witney - Cirencester - Online
You may have found yourself in a place that feels puzzling, where an additional perspective may be helpful. My role as a psychotherapist is to provide a safe space where you feel able to explore what has brought you to therapy.
Research suggests that it's the relationship between therapist and client that is the most helpful. Warmth, empathy and being non-judgmental are key parts of my presence as a psychotherapist and counsellor. I work from an integrative perspective, holding my clients knowledge and experience of their lives at the core of our work together.
I have a comfortable, private counselling room located between Burford and Carterton covering Witney and the local Oxfordshire area. I also work out of another space in Cirencester and online if preferred.
I work with issues that include:
I am an Integrative psychotherapist (BSc, MBPS, MSc, UKCP accred., MBACP) providing psychotherapy and counselling both in person and online.
My MSc and training from the University of Warwick in an Integrative approach brings a versatile and empathetic approach to my practice.
I hold professional accreditation with UKCP and am a Member of BACP and the BPS and adhere to their ethical guidelines.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I earned a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and Counselling. My adult years were enriched by living abroad, raising a family, and co-founding a business with my partner. These diverse experiences have given me an understanding of different environments and the unique challenges life can bring.
Life transitions can impact our mental health and can often be pushed aside. Whether it’s a career change, moving to a new place, or significant personal milestones, I offer a space to help clients navigate these changes.
I have a deep respect for the natural world, with a particular interest in horses. I hope to be able to include equine-assisted psychotherapy in the future and to offer clients the healing presence of horses within the therapeutic space.
I offer a counselling and psychotherapy space where you can be supported whether you are seeking personal growth and self-awareness, a deeper understanding of relationship issues, or navigating life’s challenges.
As an integrative psychotherapist I have different theoretical perspectives that I hold lightly in my work which can help us explore your lived experience together.
Life can sometimes feel confusing and complex, and can leave us wondering why?

I offer in person psychotherapy sessions from practice rooms based in Cirencester, with another practice room near Burford. Both are easily accessible from the surrounding areas of West Oxfordshire and North Cotswolds.
For those who cannot attend in person, I also offer in person sessions via Zoom or Skype. Please get in touch if you have any questions about online therapy.
Making sure you find the right therapist is a crucial part of your therapeutic journey. Whilst our training as psychotherapists is an integral and vital element, so too is how you feel in the space. With that in mind, I offer a free 20 minute consultation to check that I am the right therapist for you and to enable you to address any questions or queries you may have.
Sessions going forward are typically weekly and last 50 minutes, at a cost of £65.00. There are a limited number of concessionary spaces. Please get in touch for availability.
Please email or text if you have any questions or would like to book an initial complimentary 20 minute consultation:
