“…therapy helps you foster a new sense of connection with yourself, others, and the world around you”
Dr Warren Hickson
I am a psychotherapist drawing from a broad range of approaches, ensuring our work fully aligns with your needs and supports your journey. All of my work is deeply rooted in compassion-focused approaches tailored to your unique life story and circumstances
I also integrate coaching into therapy, enabling a focus on the goals and actions associated to changes (including behavioural) that you feel are right for you to explore. Click here to find out more about how Theraputic Coaching works.
My focus is you – so it is not limited to diagnosis or labels. Having said that, the areas I often work with include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma
- Self – worth
- Shame
- Self-criticism
- Identity
- Stress
- Relationships
- LGBTQ
- Gender
- Church/spiritual abuse
- Anger
- Neurodiversity
- Loneliness and Isolation
- Emotional loneliness
- Loss, grief and bereavement
- Behavioural change
- Physical Health (e.g. Chronic illness,
HIV, and health behavioural change) - Body Dysmorphia
- Derealisation
“Drawing from my considerable experience of working with trauma, diversity, and psychosocial research, including with the NHS, I provide insightful knowledge, life experience and compassion that underpins my practice – all of which support your therapeutic journey to find a deeper sense of well-being and meaning in your life”.
My qualifications include a Doctorate from the Child and Adolescent Health School (University of Cape Town), based at the at the Red Cross Children’s Hospital. Here, I spent several years developing psychosocial therapeutic programmes for acutely traumatised people living with HIV/AIDS. Additionally, I have two postgraduate
diplomas (Level 7) – Integrated Counselling and Coaching, plus Psychotherapy and Counselling practice. I am also a behavioural
health specialist and a full member of the UK society for Behavioural Medicine (UKSBM), supporting behavioural focussed goals that you may want to explore.

Our sessions
An initial consultation is free and lasts up to 20 minutes. Here, we can get to know each other, explore what you want to focus on during therapy. It’s very much at your pace, so you can share what you feel comfortable with. If we both feel a connection to work together, we can then make a plan moving forward.
Individual Sessions
Sessions are either 50 or 90 minutes long. I mostly work with individuals online via a secure video platform.
Couple Sessions
An opportunity to work with me in a safe space to explore, realign, work on tensions, develop understanding and awareness of and for each other – and importantly exploring how your future hopes can be realised.
Coaching Sessions
Each session is for 1 hour. These can be 1-1 or with a team, exploring goals, team building, innovation and belonging.
Rates
My session rates are from £75, dependent upon your circumstances. Low cost options may be available based on availability.
