Most clients contact us with surface negative symptoms or challenges. Every client is totally unique, therefore our truly one-off, made-to-measure approach is needed and always provided. Most clients help us to slowly identify the real current trigger(s), creating the negative presenting symptoms or challenges. Finally, our last step in helping you gain a positive, confident and happier future, is to discover your deepest root causes, which created the very first trigger(s). To put it simply, our driving force from day one is to help you quickly ensure you gain much improved: thinking, feeling and behaviour.

Are you autistic, ADHD, AuDHD or have a Learning (Intellectual) Disability — and finding things particularly hard right now? You might feel anxious, low, or overwhelmed, or be facing a change that feels unsettling. You don't have to make sense of it on your own. My approach is neuroaffirmative: I recognise and value different ways of thinking, feeling and communicating. Together we can find practical ways for being well and to build a fulfilling life on your own terms.

Hi I'm Shelly. I'm a COSRT accredited & UKCP Registered therapist. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling confused or stuck in their relationships or sexual lives. You may be struggling with desire, sexual confidence, intimacy, or repeating relationship patterns that leave you feeling disconnected or unsure of yourself. Others come after difficult experiences or trauma that have affected how safe or comfortable they feel with closeness or touch.

Counsellor, MBACP
My role, as a psychodynamic therapist, is to provide an environment that is confidential and safe. This is why I do what I do. I provide an outside perspective to help you understand how your past influences present behaviours; your use of defences to avoid reality and awareness of how unconscious reoccurrence operates in your life. With your assistance my aim is to develop different strategies in making better choices to existing problems and explore beliefs of past feelings, memories. This doesn’t mean all your life is broken, but certain grey areas compromising the relationships you’re having with self and others.

Ever feel like you're just about keeping it together — stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed, or quietly struggling in a way that's hard to put into words? You're not alone, and you don't have to keep managing it on your own. I work with adults feeling anxious, low, or stuck — especially during big life changes like early parenthood or those seasons of life where everything shifts at once. A lot of the people I work with are trying to do things a bit differently — to understand themselves better, break cycles that have been passed down through generations, and find healthier ways of coping and relating.

I know how important it is to feel safe, heard, and respected in therapy. That’s why I prioritise a genuine, human connection from the very first session. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my work, and I’ll take time to create a space where you feel comfortable to share whatever feels important at your own pace. Our initial conversations will focus on understanding what’s brought you to therapy and what you’d like to get out of it. Together, we’ll begin to explore your experiences and build a shared understanding of the challenges you’re facing, as well as the factors that may be contributing to them.
