Support that meets you where you are, at a pace that honours your story.
Sessions at reflectful are a space
to slow things down.
They offer time to reflect, to make sense of what you’re carrying, and to be met with care rather than expectation. You might come with something clear you want to explore, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right - both are welcome.
Therapy here is not about fixing or forcing change, but about gently understanding,
at your own pace, what you need.
What sessions are like.
1
Beginning where you are.
The first sessions are a place to arrive, not to perform. You don’t need to have the right words or know where to begin.
2
Working together.
Therapy is a collaborative process, shaped by relationship, reflection, and a sense of being met and understood over time.
3
Moving at your pace.
There’s no pressure to rush or reach conclusions. The work unfolds gradually, guided by what feels manageable for you.
If you’re wondering whether counselling is right for you …
People come to counselling for many different reasons, sometimes with a clear sense of what’s happening, and sometimes with only a feeling that something isn’t quite right.
This might include experiences of anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, loss, questions of identity or self-worth, or the impact of past or recent trauma.
You don’t need to have the right words - we can begin by making sense of things together.
Couples & Relationship Counselling
(in development)
Alongside my individual counselling work, I am currently completing specialist training in couples and relationship counselling.
I expect to begin offering this work from April 2026, once my training is complete and the service is ethically ready to launch.
If you are considering couples or relationship counselling and would like to be informed when this becomes available, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
FAQs
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
You don’t need to be in crisis, or have everything worked out, to come to counselling.
Many people begin because something feels difficult, stuck, or out of balance - even if they can’t yet put it into words.
If you’re feeling curious, unsettled, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a space to reflect, counselling may be a supportive place to start.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is a chance for us to meet and begin gently getting to know one another. We’ll talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you may have.
There’s no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. The pace is guided by you.
What if I don’t know what to talk about?
That’s completely okay - and very common.
You don’t need to arrive with a clear story, goal, or explanation.
We can begin wherever you are, whether that’s with something specific or simply a
sense that something isn’t quite right. Often, clarity emerges through the process itself.
How often would we meet?
Most people choose to meet weekly or fortnightly, depending on what feels manageable and supportive for them.
We can talk about this together and review it over time. There’s no fixed rule - sessions are shaped around your needs and circumstances.
How long does counselling last?
Counselling can be short-term or open-ended. Some people come for a focused period, while others choose to work together over a longer time.
There’s no expectation to commit to a set number of sessions. We’ll check in regularly to make sure the work continues to feel helpful for you.
Is counselling online or in person?
Sessions are offered primarily in person in Norwich, with online sessions also available where appropriate.
We can talk together about what feels most supportive for you, and review this if your circumstances change.
What if therapy feels difficult at times?
Counselling can sometimes bring up challenging thoughts or feelings, and that’s a natural part of reflective work. We’ll always move at a pace that feels manageable, with care and attention to your wellbeing.
You’re encouraged to share how the process feels for you, including any uncertainties,
so that the work remains supportive and collaborative.
Is what I share confidential?
Yes. Counselling is a confidential space, with a few ethical and legal limits which I’ll explain clearly at the start of our work together.
If you have questions about confidentiality, you’re always welcome to ask.
