I provide Counselling and Hypnotherapy for a wide range of personal and work related issues including managing and eliminating stress, anxiety, low mood, alcohol reduction, weight management, low self esteem, confidence buidling, relationship issues, divorce and seperation.
I am specialised in responding to traumatic incidents supporting professional teams and individuals to manage the stress, anxiety and overthinking of difficult issues when confidentiality is paramount. I work with people who may otherwise go off sick. Normalising the unexpected situations that are out their in the media is a growing concern in the workplace.

I'm grateful to my clients who have trusted me to support them through a wide range of mental health needs. It's not always easy to trust, especially when life becomes challenging. I strive to build a positive therapeutic relationship with clients, where they can feel safe, unjudged and accepted. Previous clients have used this space to work with bereavement, anxiety, depression, food aversion, environmental sensitivities, neurodiversity, bullying, change in circumstances, relationship dynamics and many other areas. Alongside adults, check out the Gallery to see what therapy might look like for young people and children.

I help strong, capable, and dependable individuals - the ones everyone relies on - who carry their own needs and everyone else’s on their shoulders. From the outside they appear resilient and in control, but inside they are often exhausted. I offer a space where they no longer have to “handle it” alone.

There are so many reasons why people might seek therapy: you may feel low or depressed, anxious, or stressed, or perhaps need help in making sense of your life. Human issues and experiences can touch and affect us in unique ways: loss, grief, abuse, relationships (past or present), life changes, parenting, loneliness or trauma, and therapy can provide a space to help you explore and make sense of these issues. If you feel trapped by self doubt, toxic relationships, or unresolved trauma, healing is possible and you do not have to do it alone.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
