For the past 25 years I have worked as a counsellor / psychotherapist. I also offer supervision to qualified and trainee therapists. Over the years I have gained a broad range of experience working with people from all walks of life, and from many cultures resulting in a good understanding of the requirements of both private individuals and corporate clients. My client base is broad and includes everyone from factory workers to professional footballers and actors. I feel it is important that a therapist can relate to their clients and this is something I excel at.

I work with common mental health concerns such as anxiety, low mood and depression, panic, phobias, social anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, and stress.
I place strong importance on the therapeutic relationship and aim to offer a calm, respectful, and non-judgemental space where you can feel understood. I work in a culturally informed and sensitive way, with awareness of how background, identity, faith, personal values and lived experiences within wider society can shape the difficulties people face.

The anxiety, the stress, the emptiness underneath.
Mind Shifting works across your thoughts, emotions, mental images, and body simultaneously. When the emotional weight behind the problem dissolves, it stops being a problem entirely. The behaviour built around it loses its reason to exist. Problems present for years can clear in five to ten minutes. You walk away lighter, clearer, and in control.

Many of my clients are students or researchers in academia or industry, but I've helped people from diverse backgrounds with various issues, often around self-esteem, OCD, anxiety and related problems, such as procrastination and perfectionism.
My theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I take a holistic approach to therapy, often with a focus on meaning (how we make sense of our lives, and how we generate meaning). I am also passionate about the psychology of video games; if you're a gamer, we may explore how you relate to what you play, if we both think it's helpful.

I specialise, supervise and lecture on helping people develop resilient confidence to overcome complex anxiety and the impact of trauma.
Still scrolling therapist profiles wondering if you'll find the right fit? If you look capable on the outside but feel exhausted on the inside, you can pause here. People describe you as reliable, capable, and someone who gets things done. Yet beneath the surface, you're always bracing. You've read the books, listened to podcasts, perhaps even had therapy. Still, your mind won’t switch off. It replays conversations, anticipates problems, and keeps asking "What if I can't cope? What if I make the wrong decision?" You've slowly stopped trusting yourself and feel embarrassed that you're still struggling.

With over 10+ years supporting adults, including 5 years in a trauma-specialised setting, I have seen how often trauma doesn't live in the past. It lives in your relationships, your body and your sleep. Alongside trauma & attachment, I work with adults carrying what's harder to name, shame, self-doubt, a sense of never quite belonging, not knowing who you are outside of what others need from you, or the weight of relationships that have always felt complicated. Many people I work with don't arrive describing themselves as having been through trauma. Sometimes it's one clear event. Sometimes it's an accumulation of experiences.

Perhaps fear of birth is affecting your life now.
I use CBT and EMDR to gently work through what happened and what’s keeping you stuck. We’ll calm anxious thoughts, process difficult experiences, and build practical tools you can use when panic or dread hits. Over time, you can move from survival mode to feeling safer in your body and more present in pregnancy and motherhood.

You deserve to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.....Do you agree with this statement? Sometimes life feels difficult and losing sight of what is meaningful can cause significant distress. Making time for yourself to understand your thoughts and feelings and establish what you truly value in life is so important.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.
Psychotherapy isn’t always about words because at times it can be difficult to talk. My practice incorporates the use of creative methods to aid the expression of feelings and imagery.
