Therapy Success is a private practice that works within the Humanistic and relational approach of psychotherapeutic counselling. You will already know that relationships sometimes hurt us. So here is your chance to experience a therapeutic relationship that exists solely for your personal healing.
Back when I started my private practice, I chose the name ‘Therapy Success’ because I thought it sounded positive and snappy – like there is an easy ‘fix’ to our problems. The truth is that sometimes, parts of your therapy might feel raw or uncomfortable. Those processes probably indicate the most potent and deeper areas of your therapy journey. This is where change awaits.
Part of my job is to monitor your levels of tolerance, to encourage you, to be consistent and reliable, and to help you cultivate a good level of self-care and self- compassion. I’m on your side.
Tailored to You
If you are person who likes structure in your therapy, we can create a contract and set goals, or include some psycho-education from the fascinating world of Transactional Analysis (TA).
Therapy Success is an inclusive practice; male-friendly (around half my clients are men) and neurodivergent affirmative.
Do not be afraid to get in touch about any of the following: trauma, abuse, addictions, issues related to your sex and sexuality, death and grief (loss), suicidal thoughts, obsessions, self-harm. I have experience in talking to people about all these issues.

Where is Therapy Success?
Welcome to my therapy room, which is located in my home. Would you like a cup of tea or coffee? Do you need an extra cushion? I want you to be as physically comfortable as possible. Oh, and the door to your left, just before you enter, that’s the bathroom. Feel free to use it at any point.
You can find me in central West Bridgford (NG2), which is a leafy suburb of Nottingham. There is free parking outside and bus stops very close by.
How much will it cost?
My fee is £50 for up to 50 minutes of the therapeutic space. Please allow for an hour of your time.
You can opt for weekly or fortnightly sessions. Because I do not have to worry about a shared room booking system, Therapy Success can be flexible with times and days if you need.
