Counselling in Ascot

I survived a deafening and destructively powerful hurricane named Irma, when fear and loss dramatically changed my life and perspectives forever. If there's so much noise in your head it's hard to think, you'll be needing to make the changes you know you must. Do you want to gain a better understanding of what’s causing these negative challenges and narratives? By working together honestly and creatively, I can help you gain an insight into the difficulties you're facing with life and relationships, help you understand why you act or react to stressors in the way you do, and enable you to face the varied stages of change and growth.

Valuing the importance of a therapeutic relationship, I base my relationships with clients on trust and partnership. Drawing on extensive experience I aim to provide a safe and non- judgmental environment where you the client feels acknowledged, listened to and supported. As we are all unique no one type of therapy 'fits' all and I therefore integrate the therapeutic models in which I have been trained to meet your particular individual needs.

A confidential, non-judgmental space where you can explore positive and challenging aspects of your life and any change you wish to explore or make. I have personal experience in sexual, physical, emotional and mental abuse; divorce; living with a Narcissist; step-parenting and living in an Ex-pat community. The approaches I predominantly use are Solution Focused, Bowenian Systemic approach, Brainspotting or Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP). All approaches work with clients, though I have found 'Walk and Talk' or EFP best for adolescents or those suffering with PTSD or Trauma, along with Brainspotting.

I am a Psychologist and Counsellor with over 20 years full-time NHS experience and a further 8 years in private practice. I have helped thousands of clients (both individuals and couples) successfully overcome their difficulties. My areas of expertise cover all relationship issues and sexual matters including sexual addiction, sexuality and sexual disfunction. During my career I have taught medical students and GP's on specific areas within my field of expertise.

I'm trained and experienced in helping all kinds of people who are struggling with their mental health, and in gently assisting them in their search for the roots of those feelings. I also work closely with LGBTQ+ folk, and with those who are and/or love neurodivergent people. I'm trauma-informed and I strive to practice in an anti-discriminatory, anti-oppressive and culturally competent way. I use your own values and beliefs as our reference points during therapy, so that we can safely explore what's going on for you from the only appropriate context: your own.

Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Low self-esteem? I offer therapeutic counselling using talking and creative therapy so you can plant the seeds of awareness and grow change in your life. I (she/her) am a trained integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, ecopsychotherapist and practising artist. I work with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, low self-esteem, relationships, life direction, stress, burnout, trauma, attachment, creative blocks, divorce, intimacy, abuse, sexuality, OCD, religion, family problems, money stories, spiritual disconnection, psychedelic integration and living abroad.

Expressing oneself verbally is not easy for everybody. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can provide a healing and explorative experience for you as a client, facilitating you to examine your thoughts, beliefs, experiences and behaviours in a safe space with another. I work with a broad range of issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, disordered eating, grief and loss, trauma, suicidal thoughts and ideation, relationships, anger, sexual abuse, sleep, addiction, parenting, trauma and self harm.

We all experience difficult times in our lives, whether it be through trauma, loss, being diagnosed with a chronic/terminal illness, or life’s natural cycle of events. Maybe you’re not sure what’s causing you to feel like you’re struggling, sometimes we don’t know why we feel sad, angry, anxious or depressed together we can unravel things and look at how we can increase your resilience. Working in an integrative way I use different theoretical approaches to empower you to make to make the best decisions for yourself. I offer a safe therapeutic space where you can talk things over and to move forward and feel more fulfilled.

In our modern society there are so many potential situations where life can become difficult without warning. Some people may have experienced difficulties throughout the whole of their lives, some may have experienced changes to their circumstances that have led to difficulties arising in their teens, 20s, 30s or further into adulthood. Some people may not even have been aware that their circumstances and experiences have led them to a place where they needed help. Whatever a person’s life experiences, everyone deserves an opportunity to heal, develop a stronger sense of self, or just understand themselves better.

Reduction and control of Anxiety is my main speciality. I help people to clear their minds from thoughts, believes or habits that are an obstacle to fully enjoy their life and have peace of mind. Whether it is excessive, unnecessary worrying, depression, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship or family problems I help you to gain a wider perspective of the problem and find your way forward with a clearer more calm and productive mind.

I work with people who want to take time to understand themselves and build skills that will support them for a lifetime. In therapy sessions, we’ll work together to understand current problems and how they came about, and find useful tools you can use long-term to solve them. I specialize in anxiety/worry, low mood, self-esteem, relationship issues, OCD, bulimia, emotional dysregulation, and recovering from trauma. I love helping clients discover how their emotions work and build confidence in themselves and their relationships, to create more fulfilling and balanced lives.

Having reached my profile it is likely that you have something worrying, distressing or upsetting you. This may be interfering with you getting on with your life as fully as you would like. You may be considering that you need help to untangle the thoughts that are going round in your head. Often people find that it is helpful to talk with someone who is not emotionally involved to the same extent as family and friends. I aim to go at whatever pace you are comfortable with, not to judge you or tell you what to do, but perhaps to offer a different perspective, and support you in coming to your own choices or resolutions.

I am a qualified therapist with many years of experience in different mental health roles. As a therapist, my aim is to support you in understanding what might be the cause of the issues you are experiencing. Together, we can understand your challenges and quickly improve your wellbeing using a range of therapeutic interventions. I am committed to creating a safe, steady presence within a supportive environment.

Do you want to talk to someone? Are you considering therapy with a qualified counsellor? If you are feeling confused, unhappy, overwhelmed or worried I can work with you. Do you want to make changes but are not sure what or how? Do you feel stuck in a rut or afraid? Do you feel alone, isolated or different? Are you struggling with low-self esteem? I will listen to your thoughts and feelings, supporting you to become more empowered and autonomous. I will offer you unconditional positive regard, whatever you tell me. I do not offer advice but together we will explore your concerns so that you can be more content .

Thoughts, feelings concerns cannot be deleted and the harder you try to avoid or suppress them the greater the hold they have and the more they will interrupt your daily life. As daunting as it feels, the way to manage difficult thoughts is to explore and understand why it is that they are making you feel a certain way, whether they have a purpose whether they are rooted in your past and affecting you in the here and now. Through exploration comes understanding. Through understanding comes acceptance and with that the freedom to choose how you move forward.
