A friendly, experienced counsellor. My clients range from people with specific issues like grief and relationship breakdown to people who just don't feel right. Mental health can affect every part of our lives. It is therefore important to get help as soon as possible. I used to be a family solicitor, and so I specialise in helping clients through relationship issues and breakdowns. This is both individually and as a couple. This involves working through issues like anger, anxiety and depression as well as low self confidence.

I can help you to make sense of difficult feelings or problems in relationships that you are experiencing. You may be aware of repeated patterns of behaviour that seem impossible to break, or you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or angry. Whatever the issue, we can work together with the aim of understanding yourself at a deeper level and uncovering the root cause of your difficulties. Often the problems we experience as adults relate back to our childhood, and old ways of coping with past problems can be repeated. I can help you to understand these patterns and find new ways to move forwards.

You might be the one who holds everything together. You function well, meet expectations, and keep going even when you’re exhausted. Inside, your mind rarely rests. You overthink, feel tense, and carry a quiet fear of letting people down. Many women I work with don’t feel “unwell” but they feel constantly on edge, disconnected, or emotionally tired. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to perform, explain yourself, or stay strong. You get to slow down and be met as you are.

Are you feeling a growing distance in your relationship — lonely, unheard, or going round in the same difficult patterns? Maybe communication has broken down, trust feels shaky, or life just feels overwhelming and it’s starting to affect how you connect with the people around you. You don’t have to work it out on your own. Relationships can be a real source of comfort, but when things aren’t working, it can feel confusing and painful, and it often spills into other areas of life. You might be dealing with conflict at home, a relationship ending, anxiety, low mood, or just a constant sense that things don’t feel quite right.

Over the years I have helped clients with various issues including anxiety, depression, anger, grief, low self-esteem, relationships, and self-improvement to name a few. I strongly believe that we are all essentially "OK" but that life can throw many things at us that cause us to think we are not. Together we can talk about what has left you feeling less than "OK" and find a way back to a place of self-confidence and belief.

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.
