Welcome to Park Counselling
Hello,
I provide caring, confidential counselling and psychotherapy for adults aged 18+. I offer in-person sessions in a relaxed and welcoming environment at my practice in Beeston, Nottingham and online sessions anywhere in the UK. I work inclusively with people from a wide range of backgrounds, identities and life experiences.
As a qualified, BACP-registered and accredited therapist, I have been supporting clients in private practice since 2009. I provide a safe, calm and supportive space where you can talk openly about what’s happening in your life and feel heard without judgement. I believe we all have worth, value and dignity and deserve to be treated with respect and compassion.
Over the years, I have incorporated a variety of therapeutic approaches into my work. This allows me to respond flexibly to each client and adapt therapy to what feels most helpful for you. I recognise that there is no “one-size-fits all” path to recovery, growth or wellbeing. Instead, we will draw on different ways of working to support your individual needs, goals and circumstances.
I welcome self-funding clients, accept referrals from most major private medical insurers, and provide counselling services for employers and organisations.
You can find out more about the issues I work with below, or explore the menu for information about my qualifications, approach and frequently asked questions.

This list is not exhaustive. If you’re unsure whether counselling or therapy could help with your particular situation, please feel free to get in touch and we can arrange a free 30-minute telephone consultation to discuss what you’re experiencing and see if I can help.
Reaching out for support can feel daunting. Many people delay contacting a counsellor or psychotherapist because they feel they should be able to cope on their own, or because feelings of guilt, shame or self-doubt get in the way.
At some point, most of us experience emotional distress, relationship difficulties or life events that feel overwhelming. It’s just part of being human. Seeking support is not a sign of weakness – it’s a positive step towards understanding what’s happening and finding a way forward.
Many clients tell me they feel relieved once they have started therapy and wish they had reached out sooner.
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to face it alone. By visiting this website, you’ve already taken the first step.
