As a practicing Christian, I take a holistic view of human beings, and take a particular interest in spiritual depression, failure and the Christian and obstacles to spiritual growth.
If you have got this far you probably have an inkling that to talk about what is troubling you might help. Why not give it a try? Perhaps you are wondering how it works. The short answer is we work together to make connections between your past experience and your present life. It is as we become more aware of these connections that change can flourish. Why not take a step of faith and see where "talking about it" gets you?

Using integrative counselling methods including Christian Counselling, IFS and Person Centered I can assist to bring perspective and healing to areas of relationships or poor mental health issues.
Feedback - Sexually Abused Client : "I started therapy feeling scared, sceptical, lost and a little bit overwhelmed, I was afraid to be vulnerable. You made me feel relaxed and welcome, and that allowed me to be so open and honest, I didn’t feel afraid anymore. A year ago, I didn’t know who I was. I felt that everyone had their own opinions and perceptions about me, and that created a discombobulated identity for me. I could have never progressed to this point without you there to guide me and challenge my thoughts and feelings. I am so grateful and thankful to you." An empathic non judgemental safe space is my utmost goal for you.

As a psychotherapist accredited with the Association of Christian Counsellors, I am keen to help Christians address any spiritual dilemma, gaining a holistic perspective of their mental well-being.
Life today seems to be overloaded by a variety of stress in many spheres of existence. What should be enjoyable and fulfilling sometimes turns out to be the very cause of suffering. In the midst of the busy-ness of life, we do not take the time to address this suffering and instead criticise and blame ourselves or others. This could potentially leave us feeling confused and ashamed. Shame does not heal the pain of suffering. Every human being has a need to be understood, accepted and validated because the human brain is wired to love and be loved.

As well as training to be a counsellor (BA (hons) in counselling, including from a Christian perspective, I spent over 3 years in counselling myself so I'm very aware and sensitive to the whole daunting process of finding the right therapist.
I don't' think I have an ideal client (bar a committed one) as I love working with unique people and using my counselling skills and expertise (never gets boring !). If you are new to counselling and not sure what your issues, goals or needs are ( just a vague sense of ' I need help' ) then I would be happy to help you explore this. If you would prefer to remain anonymous initially, you can email me and then we can progress to either a 15 minute free telephone conversion (or online). I'm also happy to refer you to other therapists that may be better qualified than me, in particular areas. We will explore this together.

Christian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.
Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.
How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.
Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
