Is life feeling like an uphill struggle at the moment? Are you troubled by depressed mood, low self-esteem, anxieties, disturbed sleep, physical health issues including menopause, or other difficulties affecting the quality of your life? Would you like to work actively with a therapist to make sense of what you are experiencing and focus on identifying steps you can take to improve your mental health and wellbeing both now and for the future? I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive Behaviour Psychotherapist and Mindfulness teacher working in Hexham and I would be happy to speak with you to see if I can be of help.
As a psychologist, I draw on a range of approaches, with proven effectiveness, adapted for you personally. To begin with we work together to make sense of your difficulties, and then explore what helps you feel better and achieve your goals. My aim is for you to feel stronger, more confident and resilient, both now and in the longer-term.
I consider it essential that you feel safe, heard and at ease. I also realise that it can be hard to hard to know what might help and confusing to choose between different approaches and therapists. I am therefore very happy to offer an initial telephone consultation to see if I am able to offer what you hope for and answer any queries you may have.
