Person-centred therapy, also known as client-centred counselling, is a humanistic approach that is nondirective, empathic and empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process.

Person-centred counselling can help individuals of all ages, with a range of personal issues. Many people find it an appealing type of therapy because it allows them to keep control over the content and pace of sessions, and there is no worry that they are being evaluated or directed in any way.

The non-direct style of person-centred counselling is thought to be more beneficial to those who have a strong urge to explore themselves and their feelings, and for those who want to address specific behaviours or patterns of thinking safely and at they’re own pace.

The approach is said to be particularly effective in helping individuals to overcome specific problems such as depression, anxiety, stress and grief, or other mental health concerns. These issues can have a significant impact on self-esteem, self-reliance and self-awareness, and person-centred therapy can help people to reconnect with their inner self in order to transcend any limitations.

I have been a therapist for 6 years and in private practice for 3.

I have also worked and volunteered for an LGBTQ+ charity for over 6 years and have been thoroughly trained in LGBTQ+ inclusion.

I specialise in Relationship OCD and relationship anxiety.

I also have experience in the following areas:

• Anxiety

• Confidence and self esteem

• Perfectionism

• Intrusive thoughts

I try and make my sessions as accessible as possible. I offer as much flexibility in session times as I possibly can. People can bring whatever they want to sessions to make them feel comfortable - for example fidget spinners.

I have cultural competence and LGBTQ+ awareness.

Please check out the testimonials on my home page to see what previous clients have said about their experience!

I am available for client sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8am until 6pm (last session at 5pm). I try to accommodate everyone as much as I can but cannot guarantee your day and time of choice every time.

Prices are £55 for video/telephone.

Email therapy also available - £35 per 1000 word email exchange. 

Very relaxed! The first session has no expectations from me – just turn up and tell me your story – we can go from there. There is also the opportunity to ask any questions about the contract.

No! You can give it a go for a couple of sessions and see if it’s for you – all I ask is for you to let me know how you want to proceed :)

Yes! All sessions are confidential between myself and you, as my client. There are of course, legal limits to confidentiality should I be summoned by a court of law or I feel there is risk to either yourself or to someone else.

Sessions will still be charged for if cancelled under 24 hours, or if you do not turn up, or if the session can’t go ahead due to lateness. Please note a session cannot go ahead if you are over 15 minutes late. If you are running late, please let me know.

That’s great! Please email cravencounsellingservices@gmail to arrange a consultation call or book in a first session.
