Making the decision to come for counselling is the first step on the journey to discovering and understanding more about yourself, your relationships and your place in the world. I enjoy working individually, with couples and with small groups. My main practice is located in Saffron Walden in Essex. I also offer a small number of sessions from my home in Castle Hedingham. I am an experienced and Accredited Member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy. "Your visions will become clear only when you look into your own heart, who looks outside dreams; who looks inside, awakes" - C G Jung

Based near Broomfield Hospital. I am an easy to talk to pluralistic counsellor, this enables me to use a different mode of approaches depending on the issues presenting in the therapy process, ranging from psychodynamic, TA, CBT, person centred. You may have experienced a traumatic event and may be be carrying trauma within, this not only affects the mind but the body too. As well as trauma you may be suffering problems in your life that are holding you back, leading you to feel stressed, stuck, anxious or depressed or you feel like you are stuck in a cycle with no-one to talk to. Together we will find a path for you to take.

I'm an accredited MBACP Reg. & MNCS Reg. therapist and Supervisor. I offer 1:1 therapy, couples therapy & EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques (Tapping) either face to face in my private practice or via zoom. It can feel quite daunting to see a counsellor, so I provide an initial free 20 minute in-take session for you to discuss your issues and any concerns you may have about your counselling journey. The in-take session will give the opportunity for me the counsellor and you the client, time to explore what you want from this process. Then together we can decide if you want to continue the proccess as me as your therapist.

Offering individual and couples therapy in Saffron Walden, I work with adults and partners who feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck. You may have spent years holding things together for others, telling yourself others have it worse, while your sleep, mood or relationship are showing the strain. I also support people living with the impact of difficult or abusive experiences or complex trauma. Whatever brings you here, you are not alone.

I work holistically and creatively, recognising that emotional wellbeing is rarely isolated from physical health, nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, meaning and community. My approach integrates psychological understanding with complementary and collaborative therapies where appropriate, creating support that is individualised rather than ‘one-size-fits-all.’ Alongside my therapeutic work, I have a growing interest in developing innovative and collaborative models of wellbeing that bridge talking therapy with integrative health approaches. Modern mental health support must move beyond symptom management.

I am a qualified counsellor in Bishop's Stortford and Ongar, delivering counselling services face-to-face or online throughout the UK. Help starts with a conversation. People seek counselling to help them deal with the ups and downs of life. Maybe you've found yourself here because you feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed - or due to an unexpected life event. Having experience working with complex issues and challenging situations, I understand how difficult life can be. I, too, have had many life challenges that brought me into this profession and gave me the passion to help others.

Are you struggling with the stresses and strains that family, friendship, and/ or work life can bring and unsure what to do? Life is not always easy or straightforward, our lives can become challenging at times, causing us to feel overwhelmed with an array of complex emotions which can have an impact on our daily lives. Very often we don’t have someone that we can completely share our innermost thoughts and feelings with so having someone who is a trained professional, allows the opportunity to open up and confide in. I trust that I am able to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work collaboratively with you.

I have over 20 years' experience as a senior specialist psychotherapist and counsellor in the NHS. My approach to both psychological and physiological suffering is to help patients work through their often long-standing personal difficulties, whilst promoting self-acceptance and committed action. An assumption I bring to my clinical practice is that most people want to live their lives in a direction of their choosing and in a way that reflects their personal values. As a therapist, my main focus is on those things that keep us 'stuck', that make it difficult for us to feel connected to the people and things that matter to us.

Art is a powerful resource in psychological healing. During an art therapy session I use art making as the primary mode of expression, alongside talking with my client. You do not need to be good at art to benefit from art therapy. The artwork produced in sessions is more an expression of feelings and emotions rather than a traditional drawing or painting. I work with children, young people, and adults. During art therapy I will help my clients to express and articulate often complex thoughts and feelings through art making. This may be following difficult or traumatic experiences which are hard to talk about.

I aim to provide a safe and confidential environment for you to explore you thoughts, feelings and options available. My belief is that, given this, you have the resources within yourself to experience therapeutic change. It can feel good to be free of the burdens that you originally came to address.

You may look calm, capable and spiritually committed on the outside, yet inside your mind feels relentless. Anxious thoughts race, loop and demand your attention, leaving you trapped in cycles of worry, checking, overthinking, avoidance or mental reviewing — trying desperately to find certainty, relief or reassurance, only for the same thoughts to return louder than before. Perhaps some of the thoughts feel completely against your values or faith, leaving you shocked, ashamed or afraid of what they might mean. You've tried to pray harder, and “trust God more”, but instead you feel tied in knots, exhausted and increasingly alone.

Feeling stuck, even when you know what you should do? Maybe you look capable and together to others, but feel held back on the inside by overthinking, self-doubt, or fear of getting things wrong. Perhaps you put things off until you feel more confident or certain; and then feel frustrated with yourself for not achieving. You might recognise yourself if: - You have high standards and are hard on yourself - You overthink decisions and struggle to get started - You feel pressure to do things “properly” or not at all - You appear confident to others but feel stuck or behind - You often tell yourself you should be coping better
