INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
IN PERSON IN LEEDS AND ONLINE
What is individual therapy?
Individual therapy is a confidential space, just for you, to think, feel, and be heard without needing to perform, explain yourself, or have things figured out in advance. There's no fixed script — some weeks we might explore something specific and current, other weeks something older and harder to name. I work integratively, which means the process is shaped around you, not around a fixed programme.
You don't need a crisis to start, and you don't need to know exactly what's "wrong." Many people begin simply because something doesn't feel right, or because they'd like to understand themselves a little more honestly.
Who I work with
I work with adults (18+) from all backgrounds and walks of life. My practice is inclusive of, and experienced in working with:
✓
✓
✓
✓
✓
People of all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures, including LGBTQI+ clients
People navigating cultural identity, migration, or intergenerational experience
People at any life stage — from early adulthood through to later life
People bringing faith, or an absence of faith, as part of who they are
Anyone who has felt unsure whether therapy is "for people like them" — it is
Therapy works best in a relationship where you feel genuinely met, not just tolerated. If any part of your identity or experience feels important for me to understand well, I'd rather know early — and I'll always be honest if something sits outside what I can offer, rather than guess.
What counselling can help with
People bring all kinds of things to individual therapy — some clear and current, others longer-standing or harder to put into words. This isn't an exhaustive list, but common areas include:
Anxiety and stress — [e.g. persistent worry, overwhelm, panic, pressure that's become hard to carry alone]
Low mood and depression — [e.g. flatness, loss of motivation, difficulty finding meaning or enjoyment]
Self-esteem and self-worth — [e.g. self-criticism, perfectionism, feeling "not enough"]
Identity — [e.g. sexuality, gender, culture, or simply "who am I becoming"]
Relationships — [e.g. patterns that keep repeating, difficulty trusting, fear of closeness or of being alone]
Life transitions — [e.g. breakups, becoming a parent, career change, retirement, relocation]
Grief and loss — [e.g. bereavement, or non-death losses like identity, health, or a relationship ending]
Trauma and difficult past experiences — [e.g. how earlier experiences continue to shape the present]
Cultural and intergenerational experience — [e.g. migration, belonging, family expectation, navigating more than one culture at once]
Work and life pressure — [e.g. burnout, big decisions, feeling stuck]
"Your mental health is a priority. Your happiness is an essential. Your self-care is a necessity."
What to expect
We'll start with a short initial conversation, then an initial session to get a fuller picture of what's brought you here and how we might work together. From there, sessions continue at a pace and frequency that suits you, reviewed collaboratively as we go — never on a fixed timeline, and never with a predetermined idea of where you "should" end up.
Session length: 50 minutes Fee: £65.00 Format: In person at my central Leeds practice, and/or online

If what's bringing you here isn't listed above, that doesn't mean it doesn't belong in this room. If you're unsure, get in touch and we can talk it through before you commit to anything.
