Life can present us with many challenges. Sometimes, the thought of facing our difficulties alone can be overwhelming, but it may be hard to know where to turn for support. My aim as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist is to work collaboratively with you, drawing from a wide range of resources and therapeutic disciplines, to find the approach that feels right for you. Working together in this tailored way, we will be able to recognise your issues, identify your goals, and explore ways in which you may start moving towards a happier, peaceful and more fulfilled way of living.

It takes courage to decide to reach out for support and finding the right therapist to do your work with can feel like a daunting task all by itself. Now having more than 15 years experience of working with groups and individuals seeking help to change I have learned that it isn’t any single technique or approach the makes therapy helpful but crucially the connection and trust in the relationship with your therapist is key to the success of your therapy. When you feel genuinely comfortable and safe with your counsellor, that’s when real change becomes possible.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes it's enough to recognise that something just doesn't feel right, even if you can't quite put your finger on why. Maybe you're struggling with anxiety that never seems to switch off, finding yourself stuck in the same patterns or carrying the effects of difficult experiences from the past. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or simply know that something needs to change. If you've never had therapy before, it's completely understandable to feel unsure about taking that first step.

Life is so beautiful, and life is so hard. Maybe, for you, it feels especially hard right now. On the outside, you might appear fine, but inside, you’re overwhelmed. Anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt could be holding you back, making it hard to focus or set goals. Sleep may feel impossible, leaving you exhausted and unmotivated. You want clarity, calm, and to reconnect with what matters most. You’re ready for change, even if you’re unsure where to start.

I'm operating a waitlist for evening sessions after 5pm. I am an Integrative therapeutic counsellor working with clients aged 16+. I support clients through common life problems and common mental health conditions, such as relationships, work stress, bereavement, depression and anxiety. My goal in session is to immerse myself in my clients world. I reflect back what I'm hearing, seeing, feeling and sensing. At times, my reflections may highlight something that the client hadn't noticed or had long forgotten. Together, these parts can be gently explored and felt, leading to a greater sense of self-acceptance and understanding.
