What I offer

Open-ended one-to-one counselling in a quiet room in Frinton-on-Sea. We meet at the same time each week, for as many weeks as it is useful.

• No agenda set in advance. You bring what is live that week.
• Nothing is too small to be worth an hour.
• We review how it is going every six sessions or so, out loud.
• You can stop whenever you want to, though I will ask for a last session to finish properly.

The same counselling, outdoors and moving. We walk the Frinton greensward and seafront path, side by side, at your pace.

• Side by side rather than face to face, which many people find easier.
• Walking gives the nervous system something to do while difficult things get said.
• No notes taken while we walk. I write mine afterwards, as I would indoors.
• If we pass someone you know, I follow your lead. I will not greet you first.
• Wet weather is fine. Storms and heat warnings are not, so we move indoors or online.

For clients outside Essex, weeks when getting out is too much, or winter months when the seafront is not an option.

• Secure video link, sent fresh before each session.
• Phone works too, and suits some people better than a screen.
• You need somewhere you will not be overheard. I will help you think that through.

Separate from counselling, and deliberately so. I teach gentle yoga and mindfulness in Frinton and Chelmsford, and co-run residential retreats in Morocco and Norfolk.

• Chair yoga and mat-based Yoga Gently in Frinton-on-Sea.
• Classes and courses at Yoga at the Mill in Chelmsford, and online.
• Satvada Retreats: small residential retreats abroad and in Norfolk.
• Counselling clients are welcome in classes, but the two do not mix in a session.
