I have experience supporting both young people and adults with a wide range of difficulties, including grief, anxiety, stress, low mood and depression, trauma, self-harm, low self-esteem, and life transitions and more.
With children and teenagers, this may also include challenges such as exam stress, bullying, school-related difficulties (including school refusal), and family changes such as divorce. I also understand that it’s not always easy to put into words what’s wrong—clients of all ages are welcome to come just as they are, even unsure about what they need.

My clients come to me for various reasons, but I have particular experience in anxiety and life stresses, as well as issues related to sexuality and identity, including all variations of the LGBTQI+ family.
Starting therapy can be daunting, so hopefully we can make this first step less mysterious and enable you to decide if choosing me as your therapist is the right option.
I genuinely believe that you are the very best expert in you. Unfortunately for many, we grew up and continue to live with far too many negative external judgments and influences. Counselling enables you to re-find who you truly are, when those influences and judgements are recognised and their power reduced.
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, my biggest role is to keep you safe and supported throughout.

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing things aren’t feeling quite ‘right’ in your life at the moment. Perhaps you’re struggling with some difficult thoughts or feelings. Perhaps you’ve hit a fork in the road and you’re unsure which way to go. Perhaps you’re not really sure what ‘it’ is that needs to change. I believe that opening up and sharing your concerns with someone who is trained to listen and respond to you, is the first step in working through them. While counselling can’t remove the challenging experiences that you're facing, it can help to empower you so you can move through them with strength and purpose.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
