CS Counselling and Hypnotherapy

06/01/2026

The start of the year can bring a lot with it — emotionally and financially.

To help make therapy a little more accessible during the winter months, I’m offering reduced session fees and block booking options throughout January and February.

If you’ve been considering therapy but cost has been a concern, this may be a supportive time to begin.

You’re welcome to get in touch if you’d like to talk things through or check availability.

Anxiety is something that affects almost everyone.

For some, it will be a passing feeling; for others, an almost endless challenge.

The way that impacts individuals also varies greatly. Chest pains, a rapid heartbeat, difficulties with breathing, nausea, stomach cramps - a whole host of these types of effects can hit individuals. Also, people can be affected emotionally and cognitively by the condition as well.

In my experience, the longer someone endures in silence about anxious episodes they are having, the more of a challenge it becomes to control the situation. Talking therapy is a natural process to help clients with this, and to find techniques and methods that will manage symptoms.

Please get in touch if you feel you need support with these types of issues. My 15-minute consultation call is free.

Thinking about starting therapy?

Here’s what a first session with me looks like:

Our initial session is a gentle conversation where we get to know each other. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We’ll explore what has brought you to therapy, what you might be hoping for, and how we can work together in a way that feels right for you. There’s no pressure, no judgement — just a safe, supportive space for you to begin your journey.

If you’d like to find out more or book a session, just send me a message.

When is a good time to begin therapy?

In short,now! I think too much is attached to the thought process that we need to be broken and at ground zero before we engage with support.

If you think about it, why wait to that point? Why not save yourself some trouble before bottoming out?

If you had a broken leg, you wouldn’t want to walk on it for six months before you got an X-Ray.

I often hear the question: Why should I come to therapy? What will it do for me.

I don't think that can be answered for everyone in just a few sentences but here's what I do think on that topic.

The modern world we live in is challenging in it's own right. There are so many boxes to tick in order to feel like you are getting it right that there can often feel like there is no time or space to breath. That level of demand on us can leave us feeling many different things.

It is my belief that people have a tendency to bottle up their innermost feelings in order to stay on track. However, in reality, that process just further drains our limited energy to deal with things in the best way we can.

Therapy allows space to check in with yourself and deal properly with our feelings and emotions. As a result, I think this gives us a chance to put the best version of ourselves out into the world.

Good morning folks

Needing some support if you don’t mind.

I am pushing this year to grow my private practice in Psychotherapy and have put my own website together.

I would much appreciate if you could all take time to share the website out amongst your friends and if you know anyone in particular who is looking for therapy then please send them my way.

Thanks in advance.

UFC isn’t a sport I follow as such.

However, a big bravo to Paddy Pimblett. Not only on competing and winning hours after a devastating piece of news but speaking out on the subject of su***de and saying words that people need to hear.

Anyone who thinks there’s no other answers left needs to know that there numerous people who will listen, understand and support.

Evening folks

So, after four years, I’m finally fully qualified as a Psychotherapist.

I’d really appreciate if you could all share this out as far and wide as we can get it so I can generate as much business as possible.

For a limited time (now- End of September 2022), I am offering a reduction in the normal fees I would charge - 33% off. Can’t ask much better than that!

Any help from you would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
