AXA PPP Counselling in Brentwood
I am a Trauma-informed, accredited UKCP psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner with 20+ yrs experience. I work with symptoms: depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, panic attacks, mistrust, hypervigilance, hopelessness, self-destructive behaviour, loss of sense of self. These are all symptoms of something deeper and we can work to alleviate these symptoms by working with the deeper issues that cause these. These symptoms are often caused by: abuse - sexual, psychological or emotional; neglect; loss; relationships; bullying; illness and many other 'normal' life events which can leave us not living our life fully.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, groups and as a supervisor. I see psychotherapy as valuable to people from all walks of life and as a conversation which is led by the client, working towards deepening self-awareness and the capacity to live authentically. I have substantial experience with people from all backgrounds, including people from diverse ethnicities, sexualities, genders. I have extensive experience with people who have led quite chaotic lives; but equally, people whose lives appear relatively simple are often, at a private level, in need of the deep attention psychotherapy offers.

I provide an open, warm and confidential space which enables clients to explore issues, which may have been difficult to deal with alone. I view therapy as an individual process and a journey of self discovery that create an opportunity to become aware of inner conflicts and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Hence, I incorporate integrative approach that means I can adapt therapy to each client and their individual needs. I can offer help and have worked with people struggling with a range of conditions including depression, anxiety or adjustment.

Do you ever feel caught in endless loops of overthinking or intrusive thoughts that feel too intense to ignore? Maybe you replay conversations, double-check decisions, or search for certainty that never comes. OCD can make you question everything, convincing you your thoughts say something terrible about you. It’s exhausting, leaving you stuck in your head instead of your life. I offer a calm, non-judgmental space to help you quiet anxiety, loosen OCD’s grip, and move toward what matters. I’ve also contributed to a BBC Sounds podcast on ADHD.

I work with adults who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and burnout. Many of my clients feel stuck in repeating emotional or relational patterns that are difficult to understand or change on their own. They may be struggling with the impact of earlier life experiences, current life pressures, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or self-critical. People often come to therapy when they want to make sense of what is going on internally and find a more stable and compassionate way forward in their lives and relationships.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self-doubt, or finding the same patterns repeating in your relationships? You don’t have to work through it alone. Therapy offers a calm, supportive space to pause, reflect, and begin making meaningful change.
As a CBT psychotherapist and couples counsellor, I help individuals understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact. Together, we gently identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck- such as overthinking, perfectionism, avoidance, or self-criticism — and develop practical tools to respond differently.
