I work with individuals navigating complex emotions, relationship challenges and life transitions, helping to untangle psychological knots. Utilising the relationship itself as a tool for healing, together we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface, uncovering the patterns that have kept us stuck. Over time, this allows for change that feels more grounded, meaningful, and lasting. In our lives we can come to feeling stuck in recurring patterns; whether in relationships, emotions, or life choices, even when we already have some understanding of them

I believe healing and growth happens in safe, respectful and deeply human relationships. I have a deep respect for people’s histories, their stories, their culture, humour, pain and strength. I do not see individuals as problems to fix, but as human beings navigating a complex world. At the heart of my therapeutic practice is a belief in the strength and wisdom of the human spirit; in our capacity to survive, adapt, heal and grow in relationship with ourselves and one another.

Life has many ways of being challenging that might lead you to feel your life is not how you want it to be. I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and trainee psychotherapist with experience of working with a wide range of issues and creating a space in which you may feel safe to bring all the parts of yourself and your experience. I offer my warmth, compassion and empathy to help you face your issues with increased clarity and insight, and leave behind things that no longer serve you.

Struggling with low mood, anxiety, trust and relationship issues? The root cause could be unresolved trauma. With 20 years of evidence-based care, I help people who have experienced trauma and abuse move past pain and into the life they want.

People come to therapy for many different reasons. You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, struggling in relationships, navigating a life transition, or trying to make sense of a difficult experience. I work with both adults and children, taking time to listen carefully to what is happening for you. Together, we can explore what feels important, develop a deeper understanding of your experiences and relationships, and become curious about patterns that may be repeating in your life.

We can all experience challenging times in our life, leading to feelings of stress and overwhelm. Life events such as news of serious illness, bereavement, or changes in our working life; relational and familial difficulties; something which haunts us from our past; finding ourselves in unhelpful repeating patterns of behaviour; or indeed, overwhelm in the current global situation, can all feel daunting to face alone. Finding a space in which you can talk freely, knowing you are not going to be judged, is the first step to feeling supported in making sense of what is troubling you.

I am a warm and compassionate integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor - specifically trained to work with children and young people - with over 20-years’ experience supporting children and adolescents with a range of social, emotional and mental health needs. My training as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor means I can tailor therapy or counselling to the needs of the individual. Experience has taught me that It is the relationship between myself and a child or young person that is central to therapy being helpful and I offer an environment where children and young people can explore their thoughts and feelings freely.

The beautiful thing is: although facing our problems is hard, it is also endlessly surprising, joyful, sometimes hilarious, and illuminating. If you're struggling with ADHD, anxiety, depression or trauma, I can help you to make powerful, practical changes to your life. I’m a psychotherapist and supervisor, with ADHD, and decades of experience as a lead practitioner in mental health settings. I know how stuck we can feel- and I've helped hundreds of people just like you to get unstuck. Contrary to our worst fears, if you're committed to working hard, you don't have to stay stuck. A better world is possible.

So, life seems particularly tough at the moment. Perhaps you are anxious about the future, or suffering with difficult memories from the past. Perhaps you have realised that the relationship patterns you have developed are no longer working for you and you would like to find a new way of connecting to your partner or others. Perhaps you need some practical guidance with a sex related problem. Primarily, I imagine you are here because you want someone to really listen to you and try to understand what it's like for you - and then, to support you to change things.

I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual challenges, trauma, and intimacy concerns. My clients often feel disconnected from their desire, sexuality, or relationships and seek a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these issues. I provide evidence-based guidance to help you reconnect with your sexuality, strengthen relationships, and overcome shame, supporting diverse sexual identities and non-traditional relationship structures.

I've been counselling since 1989, and have extensive experience of working with sexual abuse and trauma, parenting and attachment difficulties, identity and relationship issues, depression and anxiety, bereavement and loss. I don’t claim to be an ‘expert’ in any of these areas because everyone's response is different and what matters is you and your own unique experience of these difficulties. I am committed to collaborating with you to find the resilient, hopeful part of yourself that becomes expert in managing your challenges and is motivated by the smallest signs of progress towards your preferred future.

Before becoming a counsellor I was a nurse for years. I know how to build connections with people and support them through painful experiences. There are events in life which need to be recovered from and I use my skills in creating a warm and welcoming, comfortable space in which my clients can do that. My clients and I often laugh, we've sat sprawled on the floor, we've sung... I want my clients to feel able to let it all hang out whatever way feels right for them in that moment. You'll lead the session but I'll be there with my perspective and expertise to help make sense of what comes up and to learn and adapt with it.

Life can feel hard - even overwhelming at times - but it doesn't have to stay that way. Often, people find talking to someone who understands can help to shift difficult feelings and allow them to fully engage with life once more. Perhaps you feel stuck? Anxious, angry, depressed, or in emotional pain? Maybe you notice your relationships are unsatisfactory, they always follow the same pattern? Or maybe life, with all its demands, is just grinding you down? Spending some time exploring these issues with a trained counsellor can offer insight, clarity and relief.

In psychotherapy we create space to think together about our patterns and what lies beneath them. There is no set agenda. We begin with whatever feels important to you and pay attention to the thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences that emerge, including what happens within the therapy itself. Over time this can help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself, your relationships, and the difficulties you face, opening up possibilities for lasting change.

My clients are ordinary people struggling with something in their lives. This could be anything, low self esteem, lack of confidence, shame or general negative feelings about self. You might be anxious, depressed or angry. You might not know what is happening or why. Our mission is to get to the bottom of this and try to resolve it. So I create a warm, friendly and above all safe space where we can start to unpack everything and understand whats happening and why. I've been doing this work for over 20 years, I love it and am highly motivated to help you work through what you need to.

Often the people who come to see are feeling unseen, and unheard and different in ways that are not always as clear as the labels we give tend ourselves. Sometimes they're feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, struggling with relationships, change, identity, neurodivergence, loss, sexuality, and confidence. Sometimes harmful patterns are being repeated, there are new difficulties in life to navigate or they are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. Traversing and unpicking these experiences and stories together can feel difficult but also empowering as it leaves a space for healing and lasting change.
