My approach is integrative, relational and reflective.
I draw on a range of therapeutic ideas, including approaches that help us understand early relationships, emotional patterns, trauma, identity, and the way we make sense of ourselves and others.
This means I am interested not only in what is happening now, but in how your current patterns may have developed over time.
Together, we might explore early relationships, family roles, attachment patterns, emotional responses, shame, grief, identity, boundaries, conflict, intimacy, or the ways you have learned to protect yourself when life or relationships feel difficult.
I do not see therapy as something that is done to you. I see it as a collaborative relationship where we can slow things down, notice what has become familiar, and begin to understand what may need care, expression, challenge or change.
With couples, my role is not to take sides or decide who is right. Instead, I help you understand the cycle between you, including what each of you may be feeling, protecting, longing for or struggling to say.
The work can involve communication, trust, repair, emotional distance, betrayal, intimacy, family pressures, and the impact of earlier experiences on the relationship you are trying to build now.
Alongside my core counselling training, I continue to deepen my professional development in couples and relationship therapy, attachment, mentalisation, menopause and hormonal transition, neurodiversity, online therapeutic practice, and the wider field of psychosexual therapy.
My current fees are £55 for a 50-minute individual session, £85 for a 75-minute couples session, and £100 for an extended 90-minute couples session. We can discuss fees and practical arrangements before beginning therapy.
I am a UKCP Clinical Member and integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor working with individuals and couples in Norwich and online across the UK.
My practice, Reflectful Counselling, offers a calm, relational space to make sense of what feels stuck.
I work with people who may be experiencing relationship difficulties, repeated conflict, anxiety, low self-worth, trauma, identity concerns, grief, life transitions, or the impact of earlier family roles and relational patterns.
Relationships are central to my work. I am interested in how we come to know ourselves through others, how early experiences shape adult relationships, and how patterns of closeness, conflict, silence, responsibility or protection can repeat over time.
With couples, I offer a steady, non-blaming space where each person can be heard and where the pattern between you can be explored with care.
This may include repeated arguments, emotional distance, betrayal, trust, communication difficulties, intimacy concerns, family pressures, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship.
As a female Black British therapist, I also understand that therapy does not happen outside culture.
Race, identity, belonging, family, class, gender, sexuality, faith and intergenerational experience can all shape how we understand ourselves, how we relate to others, and how safe it feels to be fully seen.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
