Face-to-Face Counselling
“Stepping into the room is a small act of courage —
a quiet space where you can pause, breathe and begin to feel grounded again.”

Face-to-face sessions
At Curlew Counselling, face-to-face sessions offer a safe, supportive and grounded space where you can pause, breathe, allow things to surface and to explore what you are carrying, knowing that confidentiality and the strong therapeutic human connection will be help you feel supported and to begin to make sense of your experiences.
The sessions last 60 minutes, which gives us time to work together, allowing you time to settle, reflect and leave feeling more at peace, empowered and grounded.
My counselling room is situated on the first floor of Belvedere House and accessed by a set of stairs. It’s a peaceful, tucked-away space designed to feel warm, safe and separate from the outside world. For those with mobility needs or anyone who would find the stairs difficult, I can offer sessions in a comfortable ground-floor room instead. This ensures that the calm, reflective environment of Curlew Counselling remains accessible to everyone.

Benefits of face-to-face counselling
Many people find it easier to express themselves in the presence of human warmth, understanding, empathy and acceptance. It is about human connection and not feeling alone. Face-to-face work allows me to notice the subtle cues in body language, tone of voice, pauses, pace, and this helps us both understand what is happening for you more fully. The room provides a secure and confidential space which online or walk-and-talk therapy may not provide to the same degree.
