What services do you offer?
I offer both short-term and long-term (open-ended) talking therapy.
Short-Term Therapy (approx. 8–12 sessions): Practical and goal-oriented. Best for navigating immediate life changes, managing burnout, and learning quick coping strategies & everyday menta health tools.
Long-Term Therapy (Open-ended): A deeper, self-paced dive. Best for uncovering root causes, healing past trauma, and breaking lifelong patterns like perfectionism or people-pleasing.
Do you offer support for ADHD?
Yes, I offer ADHD support in both a therapeutic sense and practical one. ADHD is a complex diagnosis and no two people will experience it the same.
I offer clients a space to talk about their experience and navigate areas such as 'how to take off the mask' and exploring their formative experience and environments and how these might have exasperated ADHD symptoms.
Do you offer support for recovery after domestic abuse or childhood sexual abuse?
Yes, I have worked with many survivors of both domestic abuse and childhood sexual abuse. I have obtained professional additional training in using specific strength-based approaches that honour the experience and pace of the client.
Is it just talking?
I believe in our uniqness and every client will have different ways of exploring themselves and their lived experience.
Part of my love for the relational is getting to know the client on their level. Some clients like to just talk and others like to move away from words some sessions. This might look like using therapeutic cards, figures, drawing, breathing. What we do or don't do is always driven by the client.
Who do you work with?
I work with individual adults from 18 years up.
How do I get started?
I offer a free 20 - 30 minute consultation via phone or video to ensure Space to Change Counselling is the right fit for you.
Our initial consultation is a brief, low-pressure conversation to explore your needs and ensure my approach feels right for you.
Where do sessions take place?
In-person sessions, are located in the Therapy Rooms in High Barnet, EN5 Barnet High Street (169 High Road EN5 5SU)
There are two car parks within walking distance, one at The Spires and another opposite on Stapylton Road Car Park.
It is within easy reach of Whetstone and Totteridge N20, Potters Bar EN6, Hadley Green/Hadley Wood EN4, Elstree and Borehamwood WD6 and Mill Hill NW7.
The nearest underground station is High Barnet Station the Northern Line
When does someone know they might need therapy?
People seek professional support if persistent sadness, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming and affect your relationships or daily life. There is freedom in talking to someone outside your world;
I offer a neutral space, free from shared history, where your growth is the only agenda.
How do online sessions work?
Online sessions are offered via Teams to any location within the UK.
Finding a quiet, private space is essential for effective online therapy, ensuring you can speak freely, focus fully, and maintain confidentiality without interruptions. A suitable, secluded area helps you feel emotionally safe and secure while engaging in sessions.
Can AI help?
While AI can offer support and tools for mental health, it's generally not considered a replacement for a human counsellor. AI lacks the warmth, intuition, and the ability to build a trusting relationship that are crucial for successful therapy.
For more answers...
There is no such thing as a 'silly' question. Starting therapy can be a big step and you need to feel comfortable moving forward.
