Couples Counselling in Amersham

We are in particularly difficult and challenging times for many people. Many people are currently experiencing heightened anxiety, stress, low mood, low self esteem and experiencing relationship difficulties. If you feel negatively impacted by recent times, please reach out and book a free consultation call. Tailored face-to-face or online therapy offers access to professional help, and support you during this time.

I practise from a psychodynamic perspective which has its roots in psychoanalysis, the founding approach to talking therapy. This means I am interested in helping people to be curious about themselves, to understand why they might think, feel or behave in certain ways which are often unconscious, and to understand where these patterns might come from. This involves you and I building up a trusting relationship that would enable you to bring anything (thoughts feelings, fantasies), however unusual or nonsensical, you want to talk about with me.

Hello and welcome. I’m here to help you find the inner strengths you need to unblock what’s troubling you and move on with your life. My clients tell me I’m warm, kind and insightful – which is good, because my main aim is to offer a safe, welcoming place where you feel willing and able to consider making changes. Most of us aren’t used to reaching out for professional support. We’re brought up to think asking for help can be a sign of weakness. But whatever you’re facing, working together with a professional therapist can let you see a way forward.

If you are reading this there is a chance that you (or someone you know) may be experiencing some emotional difficulties. In my personal experience, counselling and psychotherapy can help with a wide range of problems related to life and living. Many of us don't know why we feel unhappy, lacking in confidence or generally anxious. Some experience anxiety in relation to situations where other people seem to cope without a problem. Sitting down with a trained therapist can help alleviate distress as well as uncover the self-defeating patterns we may have stumbled into as a consequence of life's events.

I can help you become the person you want to be. Move forward from a trauma or loss. Rediscover the joy in your relationships. Accept the Negatives - Rediscover the Positives. Understand and change your unhelpful patterns. Perhaps you are going through a difficult time in your life and are not sure where to turn? maybe things seem impossible or unbearable? or has someone has suggested that you "need to talk to ? Whatever your situation, I can offer you Time and Space in a Safe Environment, where I hope you will feel secure enough to begin to unload your burden.

Are you feeling upset or anxious about a relationship that is not working for you? You may have tried to make it better but so far nothing much has changed. Maybe you are feeling depressed and can’t seem to find a way out. Perhaps you have left a relationship and feel the need to understand what went wrong. At some point in our lives most people will feel they need help. Working with a counsellor can help understand the causes of distress and learn techniques to help see things differently, regain control, feel stronger and happier, and move forward to a better place.

"Sometimes you don't realise the weight of something you've been carrying until you feel the weight of its release." Anon. At times, we all need to talk but may struggle to find the right person to turn to. Those closest to us may not always be able to offer what we need. This is where therapy may be helpful. Someone to listen to you without passing judgement or giving advice; someone who believes you know best what you need and who can provide you with a safe, confidential place to explore those needs.

I have worked with clients suffering in many different areas, anxiety, depression, burn-out, anger, grief, loss, trauma, stress, relationship troubles, drug abuse and more. I also have a great understanding of workplace stress and career issues. ​ My aim is to work with you in a sensitive, non-judgemental and respectful way, supporting you in your time of trouble, so that you can move into a greater sense of well-being.

Sometimes life can present difficult challenges. When that happens it's easy to feel confused, lonely, stuck and perhaps even judged. I can help you by providing a space for realisation, processing trauma and finding greater inner peace and freedom to live the life you wish for. I believe that the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. Having self compassion and being at peace with one’s self can be difficult to practice. I want to bring you hope and support you in becoming your own best friend.

I am a compassionate clinical psychologist specialising working with adults, older people, their families, and staff who care for them. I have a passion for improving the wellbeing and quality of life of those who are living with dementia and their families.

I also work with individuals who have experienced trauma, whether this has been in their childhood or early life, or more recently.

I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can see if I am the right person for you. I have nearly 15 years experience working with people of all ages and with all range of issues, from phobias & fears to deep seated anxieties, depression & self-defeating behaviours.

Anxiety, depression, stress, conflict. We all hear these words but when they are your story it's much more than words, it's your life. If you invest in yourself you can learn to stop being controlled, feel you're making your own decisions and improve your relationship, career or state of mind. My clients show courage in reflecting on their lives and I've yet to work with any individual or couple who have regretted taking this step. Now we're in this extreme new way of living we may need to address issues we've previously avoided. This could be that opportunity.
