Hi, I'm Alice and I am an integrative counsellor providing talking therapy for mental health and emotional wellbeing.
I offer a warm, relational space to come and talk things through when life feels overwhelming, depressing or stuck. It may be that you are struggling with grief, with family relationships or with patterns that you don't know how to break.
There is healing that can come through the honesty, compassion and insight that open up in the counselling space.
I offer a free 15 minute ‘get to know you’ session available on request.

I am passionate about the vocation of counselling. I bring to counselling my own lifetime commitment to the process of healing in myself and helping others do the same.
I also bring a breadth of experience of what it means to counsel having worked in, or been a consultant for, several counselling organisations.
Counselling is a unique experience for each person. It is a relief to be able to share ourselves freely, including the parts that are difficult to share in other spaces. It gives us time to think about our life and our choices and our way forward.
There is profound self-discovery in counselling; finding out that so many of the ways we respond and the decisions we make are rooted in patterns that formed earlier on in life. We begin to realise how much is now in our power to choose differently and change.
When we begin to understand ourselves, we begin to be able to have compassion on ourselves and on others. This brings freedom and strengthens our core sense of identity.
I incorporate concepts from the three main psychotherapeutic approaches of Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I love to lean into the imagination, metaphor and the symbolic — I understand these as the language of the heart. I also find that somatic therapy, attuning to the understanding the body holds, takes us deeper.
We are each filled with resources that help towards healing, and so it is about finding out together how to draw towards that creative flow.
I found I could say things with colour and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.
