My name is Pip (She/Her), and I am a Humanistic-Gestalt therapist. My office is based on Bassett Avenue, Southampton. I offer short or long term work depending on your needs, either in-person or through my messaging service. I specialise in neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism) and LGBTQ+.
My own journey to being a therapist dates back to early experience as a client myself thinking "I want to be where they're sat one day", referring to my counsellor at the time. I had this inquisitive gaze towards their role and how much of an impact they had made while sharing my experiences. From this moment, my passion and love to work as a therapist has only gained momentum.
I'm the type of therapist to encourage you to bring your favourite slippers, blanket or teddy and kick your feet up on the sofa in comfortable clothing while letting conversation flow. Whether you're new to counselling or looking to find a new therapist that's right for you, I work on taking out that strange clinical feeling. I have created a space which resembles a home from home where the normal social rules of a meeting doesn't matter. My office better describes itself as a cosy livingroom to feel safe and at peace. I also offer a messaging service which can be particularly helpful if you struggle with mutism, accessibility or you dont feel ready to explore in-person sessions yet.
You may feel you're in a mental health crisis, or simply looking for mental health support. No matter how big or small you feel your issue is, I value your mental health equally to anyone. I will provide you with the space to feel heard and seen in the way you need to be.
In-person and messaging sessions are 50 minutes in duration each
I work with clients aged 11+
I offer a free initial short telephone consultation. I understand the importance of finding the right therapist for your individual needs. This consultation will provide you with the opportunity to decide if working together is right for you.
In-person and messaging sessions are £50 per session, paid either individually or as a block of six at £300. Sessions are on a weekly basis.
Payment is accepted by bank transfer within 48 hours after booking to secure the session.
48 hours notice required for cancellations to be rescheduled. Refunds are not available.
My office is located on Bassett Avenue, Southampton. It is on the first floor with no lift, so I offer home based sessions for those who might find this inaccessible. Additional call out fee dependant
on location.
An accessible and convenient way to connect from home or a safe envornment that suits you. Messaging is particularly helpful if you struggle with finding your voice, or aren't ready to meet in person.
