Frequently Asked Questions
Depth Psychotherapy 
International | Online  & In-person | North Wales

Why work with me?

I offer a reflective, depth-oriented approach to counselling and psychotherapy rooted in psychological understanding, embodied awareness and collaborative exploration. 

I have an MSc in Counselling at Bangor University (in progress) with a supervised clinical practice in accordance with BACP ethical guidelines and am professionally insured. I am committed to ongoing personal and professional development, undertaking my own weeky personal therapy, professional supervision and regular advanced CPD. 

My work is informed by training and ongoing study in areas including:

• Jungian psychology and dream work
• Internal Family Systems-informed approaches
• Embodied and somatic awareness
• Mythology and symbolic understanding
• Group facilitation and relational process
• Nature-based and experiential approaches

Who do I work with?

I work with adults (18+) experiencing a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

• Anxiety, burnout and emotional overwhelm
• Depression and low mood
• Grief and loss
• Relationship difficulties
• Questions of identity and self-esteem
• Feeling lost, disconnected or directionless
• Life transitions and periods of change
• Meaning, purpose and belonging
• Men’s, women's, non-binary and gender-diverse emotional wellbeing

I aim to work in a non-pathologising and collaborative way, recognising that emotional difficulties often emerge within broader personal, relational and cultural contexts.

Can we work in person?

Yes. If you are based in North-Wales, in-person sessions are preferred where possible, though online work can also be profoundly effective and meaningful. In-person work takes place in Llanfairfechan, Conwy, North Wales.

Can we work together online?

Absolutely. Online therapy allows me to work with clients across the UK and internationally, which I am passionate about.

I hold advanced training in remote therapeutic practice and know that online work can be deeply relational, psychologically rich and effective for long-term therapeutic work. Wherever you are situation, please get in touch and we can discuss your needs

Is this approach right for me?

My approach may suit people who are looking not only for symptom relief, but also for deeper psychological understanding and reflection. 

This approach can support an exploration of emotional patterns, relationships, identity, grief, anxiety, life transitions and questions of meaning or direction. The work is collaborative and often gradual, requiring openness, consistency and commitment over time. 

I do not offer coaching, mentoring or advice-based work. If you are specifically seeking career coaching, business coaching or performance-focused support, it may be more appropriate to work with an accredited coach through organisations such as the ICF or EMCC, although these areas will all likely benefit from ongoing depth psychotherapy. 

I do not provide crisis services or emergency mental health care. If you are experiencing immediate risk, severe mental health crisis, or are unable to keep yourself safe, please contact emergency services, your GP, local crisis team, or the Samaritans on 116 123.

How long does therapy usually last?

Sessions take place weekly at the same time each week where possible. Regularity and consistency are important parts of the therapeutic process and help create stability, safety and continuity.

The length of therapy varies depending on individual needs and circumstances. Some people seek shorter-term support around a specific issue, while others choose longer-term therapy focused on deeper exploration and lasting psychological change.

We can regularly review how the work is progressing together.

Do you work with couples or groups?

I offer individual therapy primarily, though I may also offer relational, group or facilitated work depending on the context and nature of the enquiry.

If you are seeking therapy as a couple, family, group or organisation, please get in touch to discuss your needs and whether I am the appropriate person to support you.

What are your fees?

Individual Therapy

• £60 for a 60-minute session

I hold a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for students, low-income or unwaged clients and disadvantaged communities, depending on availability.  

What is the difference between psychotherapy/counselling and coaching?

Psychotherapy and counselling focus on emotional wellbeing, psychological understanding and relational patterns, often exploring how past experiences and unconscious dynamics shape present life.

Coaching is generally more future-oriented and goal-focused, often centred around performance, career development or decision-making.

Psychotherapy training typically involves extensive supervised clinical practice, personal therapy and adherence to ethical frameworks such as those of the BACP or UKCP.

If you are unsure which approach would best suit your needs, please get in touch using the contact form.

Do you work with dreams?

Dreams are an excellent way of meeting our unconscious minds, so I always invite my patients to bring dreams to the sessions if they wish to. Dream snippets can be incredibly effective to work with, and starting a dream journal actually supports you to remember your dreams more clearly.  If you never remember your dreams, this does not matter- there are many ways to work with the unconscious and we will explore the most appropriate methods for you. 

Do you work with all genders?

Yes. I have a particular interest in the experience of masculinity and femininity, but this is not bound to your gender identity or your sexuality and can be a rich exploration for people of all bodies, places and identities. 

Are you a Jungian Analyst?

I am not trained as a pure Jungian Analyst as this allows me to work with other frames that have proven meaningful in my journey to become a psychotherapist. I employ a Jungian lens and have taken many advanced trainings in Jungian-informed psychodynamic therapy, but officially my training is as an integral psychotherapist, with an IFS and Jungian oriented approach.

Can psychotherapy help if I do not know what is wrong? 

Yes! Many people arrive to therapy with a sense that something is missing, or an underlying sense of sadness, dissatisfaction or confusion. I simply ask that you arrive to therapy exactly as you are, and from there we will explore what is happening. This is the process of individuation- becoming more fully your authentic self. I believe that pathologisation can become a trap, so we will work with what arises with non-judgement, openness and curiosity. 

How do we get started?

Simply get in touch with me by using the contact form. From here we can discuss your needs and arrange your first session. You can email me if you prefer.

What can I expect in the first session?

The initial session provides an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy and what you may be seeking support with.

We might discuss:

• your current circumstances
• relevant personal history
• any previous therapy experience
• practical agreements and boundaries
• how we might work together

This also allows us both to consider whether the therapeutic relationship feels like a good fit. If I do not feel I am the appropriate therapist for your needs, I will do my best to suggest alternative sources of support where possible. 

Is therapy confidential?

Confidentiality is a central part of psychotherapy that I take very seriously.

What you discuss in sessions is kept confidential, with certain legal and ethical exceptions relating to serious risk of harm to yourself or others, safeguarding responsibilities, or legal obligations.

As part of professional practice, I discuss client work anonymously within clinical supervision in accordance with BACP ethical guidelines.

Further details about confidentiality are included within the client agreement.

What is your cancellation policy?

Details of cancellations, payment arrangements, confidentiality and professional agreements are outlined clearly within the client agreement form provided before ongoing work begins.
