If you are struggling with depression, difficulties in relationships, grief, anxiety or trauma, then the process of counselling can be deeply transformative. I offer a human-to-human therapeutic relationship. I'm non-judgmental, deeply empathic and compassionate; with years of experience as a humanistic therapist, I walk alongside my clients accompanying them on their journey of healing, awareness and change. I do this by deep active listening and bring anything on the edge of awareness into the light, through a client-led approach.

When we feel stuck, experience difficult emotions, or the challenges we have are distressing, finding a safe space to work through and move beyond what has led you to experience those difficulties can feel overwhelming in itself. By working together we look to create that space where you are safe to address your difficulties and make sense of the distress, while supporting you to feel confident to successfully move beyond them.

I can work with you around family issues, teen problems, child behaviour, ASC issues, illness and disability. I will support, collaborate and try to make sense of what is going on. All things eventually pass - I will offer to weather the storm with you. I won’t be judging you or not taking you seriously. We will work together - and it will be work - but we will also aim to have fun and be creative in our work.

Are you constantly experiencing the breakdown of relationships leaving you feeling distressed, bewildered, let down and perhaps even angry with yourself for repeating these patterns? It can be devastating to keep finding ourselves stuck in this way. Whether in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships or work situations, I can help you explore these issues, in the hope of understanding their origins and gradually healing yourself, thus developing the possibility of healthier relationships with others. Maybe you have experienced some of the above and are also in the Creative/Performing Arts Community or Film/ Media.

I’m an experienced and fully-qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist, working with individuals aged 18 years and over offering a safe and supportive place in which to talk about your difficulties and concerns. We can begin to explore what might be troubling you, or causing you distress and suffering, or preventing you from experiencing life to the full. Together we can take time to focus on what’s important for you, to try and make sense and understand what may be happening to you and think about changes you want to make. I offer open-ended therapy with sessions once a week beginning with with an initial session or sometimes two.

I believe my strongest quality as a therapist is to make you feel accepted, understood, and most of all safe. I believe that only when we feel truly safe, free of judgment and condemnation can we trust, and trust is the most prized of all human emotions. My approach will enable you to be fully involved in every step of the therapy process and to feel truly engaged in every step you take towards your happiness. I am very clear in explaining to my clients what I offer and how I work.

Are you struggling with relationship issues, parenting challenges, or a sense of anxiety, confusion or inexplicable rage? Perhaps you are not clear about what your expectations or wishes are for yourself in the next phase of your life; perhaps you are wondering how best to fulfil your potential or work out your identity. Whatever your concerns, psychotherapy can offer immense support in times of difficulty and transition.

My goal is to work with you on what you want to achieve. This usually starts with exploring you and your life to identity what we're working with. Below you will find where I have experience, what I need from you is a willingness to work together, if you feel that I'm not the right fit for you after a session, that is quite ok!

If you change nothing, nothing changes but it can be hard to know where to begin. I feel it starts with you being heard and valued. Having your story and your feelings witnessed and validated is extraordinarily powerful and provides the catalyst for change. You will gain a clarity and a sense of perspective as well as an understanding of why you behave in the way you do. Talking to me will feel different from talking to a friend or family member. I will offer you insights and reflections, not opinions or solutions. I am interested in you and your experiences and they matter to me, but as I'm not involved I can remain objective.

There are many things which can be problematic for people. Confusing and difficult emotions,relationship difficulties,work concerns, pain and longterm illness, difficult upbringing and life experiences are just some of the things that people come to see me about. The list of what I treat is varied. My view is that everyone has the inherent ability to become their own therapist and that my role, whatever the issues are is to help facilitate long term change and growth through understanding, questioning and encouragement within the Cognitive Behavioural framework.

Life is messy and throws us off course. We experience pain, stress and anxiety for many reasons - life events, work issues, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or feelings of low self-esteem that makes you feel stuck. We may simply feel adrift, struggling to find meaning and our place in the world. Confronting and solving problems can be a painful process which many of us avoid. Avoidance can result in greater pain and the inability to flourish both mentally and spiritually. Starting therapy can be a daunting process but by working together to fully understand your issues and goals we can work towards a more fulfilled life.

Welcome. I meet each individual as they are, I don’t find labels helpful. Each individual has a healthy, creative part, the part that is seeking healing. With gentle curiosity we learn to trust this part of you, it leads our process, and over time, as we work together, new possibilities are found. If you are struggling with feelings of meaninglessness, stuckness, being lost, angry, depressed, disconnected; or are having difficult memories, maybe traumatic; difficulties with physical pain recovery or prescription drug addiction, I am happy to meet with you and talk about how we can work together.
