Counselling in Newark-on-Trent

With over 20 years of experience, I have worked 8 years as a counsellor in primary care NHS and 12 years in private practice. Everybody I work with is a unique human being with a personality and life experience like no other. I work eclectically with a wide range of disciplines to achieve the best combination of therapeutic tools to help the client. Our relationship is the most important part of the work we are doing together. My attention and focus is about making you feel safe and cared for so you feel empowered and equipped to engage in the therapeutic process

Are you feeling overwhelmed with difficult feelings? Have you been through a bereavement or loss that you're struggling to come to terms with? Have you experienced painful and traumatic life events that still impact on you today and stop you living the life you want. Would you like to improve your relationships with the people in your life? You may be struggling with issues life anxiety, depression or low self-worth. My focus is to offer a counselling relationship that is supportive, nurturing and empowering. I can offer practical coping strategies, better insight and understanding as well as help you find your own solutions.

I began as an anthropologist, seeking to understand other people's cultures from their own perspectives. Then my desire changed to facilitating direct positive shifts in other people's lives; lives spoilt by trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, persecuted sexuality and lack of life direction. My work is now with private clients across anxiety and mood problems - generalized anxiety, OCD, PTSD, psychosexual problems and depression. I also work in depth on relationship problems which often link with anxiety. In Islington Mind I worked with LGBT clients including asylum seekers persecuted for their sexuality.

I am an Integrative Counsellor who qualified from the University of Leicester and is a member of the BACP. I have a friendly & trustworthy personality and has experience in working with clients with a wide range of issues, including Depression, Anxiety, Bereavement, Trauma, PTSD, Low Confidence and problems arising from childhood. By applying an integrative approach; Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Cogitative Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transitional Analysis (TA), Gestalt etc. I would feel honoured to listen empathetically to your individual concerns.

Are you looking for a safe space with an experienced trauma-informed therapist? I offer CBT & EMDR to mothers and parents to tackle low self-esteem, anxiety, & trauma/ PTSD. Perhaps you are having strong reactions to things, or maybe you are struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or nightmares. You might be having trouble sleeping or issues with food or body image. Maybe you feel disconnected, irritable, guilty, and not the parent/ partner/ person that you want to be. When things feel tough, working with someone who you feel 'gets it' and knowing the space is safe and free from judgement is really important.

I am experienced in working with people from many different walks of life. My passion is working with those who (like me) are part of the LGBTQ+ community, who are experiencing difficulties with their mental health and feel ready to make changes to improve how they are feeling. As LGBTQ+ people we can face more challenges from the world around us, which can contribute to difficulties leading to struggles with our mental health. This could be low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD and other common mental health disorders.

All are welcome, however I have particular experience in working with young adults, and those experiencing change as a result of significant life shift (bereavement, a new job, leaving home, the end of a relationship), and how that relates to new identities, confidence, autonomy and relationships . I see our minds and emotions as deeply connected to our bodies, our environments and our lived experiences, and bring a whole life attitude to my counselling work. ​I am LGBTQIA+ friendly, and experienced with neurodivergence.

Neurodivergence: ADHD, Autism. Bipolar, Psychosis, EMDR/ Trauma, CPTSD, dissociation, Attachment.

My way of working is somewhat dependent on you and your wants from a therapy space. I am trained to work with CBT, person-centred and attachment based therapy. I have done additional training in: Somatic Abolitionism, Emotional Regulation Skills and CBT adapted to work with those that self-define as autistic. I have worked with many clients and believe therapy works best by meeting the client where they are and towards what they identify they need. I work openly with race and other forms of systemic oppression in therapy and support clients from minoritised identities to explore this in therapy.

Are you struggling with challenging emotions, anxiety, low mood, low self worth? Do you find yourself caught up in patterns of overthinking? Maybe you feel stuck in a situation, unable to make change happen, or find yourself in a period of change and re-evaluation. My role is to help you find a pathway to understanding and change. Our work together might simply be talking, exploring how you feel just now, your values and your sense of self, understanding yourself better or making sense of situations and events. Or we might work with emotions and patterns that come up in our sessions and weave in other approaches if they are helpful.

Seeking help in counselling is often a very difficult step to take. With this in mind I always work at your pace and with no judgement or 'advice giving'. You are the expert on your life and together we can work to find a way through. I strive to create a safe inclusive space where all are welcome.

I'm a Counselling Psychologist. I provide therapy for a wide range of difficulties including anxiety and depression. Appointments with me take place at a nature reserve near St Neots. During these walk and talk appointments we'll walk around the reserve. You'll have the benefits of being outside and some people find it easier to talk about difficulties using walk and talk appointments. I also offer telephone appointments. I provide a free 30 minute telephone conversation to find out what help is needed and to answer any questions. Having a conversation can also help you decide who you would like to start therapy with.
