Therapy offers you the opportunity to explore your life, make sense of where you are and what is possible, and make choices about how you want to live. It can also help you develop a more meaningful relationship with yourself, with other people and with the world around you. I work with a wide range of difficulties and experiences. You may wish to address trauma, distress or experiences that continue to hold you back; or explore anxiety, stress, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, life transitions, meaning, purpose, spirituality, or a sense of feeling stuck or lost. I will meet you where you are and as you are.

I’m a registered member of the BACP and work as an integrative therapist, drawing on a range of approaches to best support your individual needs. I believe that meaningful change begins with a sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship. When we feel supported, we are better able to explore our inner world with greater openness and curiosity. I offer a compassionate, trusting and non-judgemental space to make sense of the past, understand how it may be influencing the present, and work towards a more meaningful life. I offer online sessions from 5pm, Tuesday to Thursday

Hello and welcome. Perhaps you are anxious, sad or overwhelmed. Maybe you want to make sense of confusing or painful experiences. Perhaps life is feeling really difficult right now and you're not sure how to move forward. I offer a space away from the pressures of everyday life where you can come to understand yourself better, find new perspectives and different ways of responding to life's inevitable challenges. Each counselling relationship is unique and I aim to work with whatever you bring in a way that feels supportive and empathic.

Highview EMDR
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP Accred

Experienced a disturbing event or trauma and still struggling with symptoms like emotional overwhelm, irritability, sleep disturbance and flashbacks? EMDR helps your brain to kick start the "adaptive information processing" system by using bilateral stimulation through side to side eye movements or pulsators (which you hold in each hand). It is effective in reducing the emotional intensity of a memory, physical disturbance and maladaptive beliefs when recalling the incident. EMDR is also being used by athletes, CEOs, performers and students to overcome personal blocks such as confidence and public speaking.

I work with adults, young people, and practitioners navigating a wide range of issues — from complex trauma, emotional dysregulation, and dissociation, to anxiety, low mood, or a general sense of being lost or disconnected. You may be managing a diagnosis such as BPD/EUPD, or looking for more regulation, clarity, or reconnection. I offer one-off consultations, structured blocks, open-ended work, monthly packages and intensives. Together we’ll build a therapeutic path that fits your circumstances, drawing on tailored psychological approaches, naturopathy, and body-based care.

Having experienced at first hand the hugely positive impact counselling has had on my own life, I chose to train as a psychodynamic therapist to help others experience the same profound benefits. I now use an integrative approach, which has enriched my work with clients. Working with you, we will together examine and uncover often unconscious or repressed memories which in turn can drive unhelpful patterns of behaviour. We will explore the sources of your problems and aim to deal with the underlying issues, not just try to find a way to cope with them. Only by making peace with the past can you look forward to a happy future.

I get it, life can get overwhelming sometimes. You feel unwell and don't know where to start. You can't put your finger on anything because everything seems like a lot right now: Family, relationships, self-esteem, worry, insecurities, work... nothing feels good anymore. You feel lost and sometimes don't really know what to do. You might struggle to enjoy the things you used to or simply have a good time with friends. Sometimes you might feel ridden by anxiety, worry and overthinking, which makes you question literally everything and you feel exhausted!

With 25 years of experience in counselling & psychotherapy I aim to help couples & individuals understand emotions and how to get more from their relationships. Some want to renew a long gone passion and others are just fighting to stay together - the answer is often found by looking at new ways to communicate with each other rather than fixing a disagreement. There will be reasons for your behaviour that make sense and I will help you to uncover these throughout our sessions together. You may have an ‘arguing style’ and by looking more deeply, at your inner hurt and anger, we will be able to discover what is really going on.

I'm an EMDR Consultant and I offer an initial session where we can discuss your problems, your goals and work out a treatment plan. In EMDR we target specific traumatic experiences and symptoms. A large body of research has found that working at a subcortical level, using EMDR, effectively reprocesses experiences that are stuck in your body and your nervous system. After EMDR you are likely to feel much less dys-regulated.

My approach is warm, gentle and understanding. I strive to create an inclusive environment that welcomes clients from all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+. Most importantly, I want to help make positive changes in your life, specialising in issues arising from childhood. We all experience ups and downs in our relationships. Still, if one or both people in the relationship are having mental health problems, this often brings extra challenges, and we may underestimate the impact this can have on the strongest of relationships, either at home or at work. I work with individuals and couples, helping with a full range of issues.

Do you sometimes feel stuck or limited by words? Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) offers an alternative to talking therapies. As our bodies hold the unconscious aspects of ourselves, movement-based therapy can be particularly effective in addressing feelings held somatically. Dance Movement Psychotherapists believe that changes in the body & movement patterns are reflected in the mind & thinking patterns, and vice versa. DMP can help you feel more attuned to your body, support emotional regulation, reduce stress, improve confidence, and help to form a stronger sense of Self.

Clients come to me when they are experiencing distress in their relationships, with their sex lives or within themselves. Whether they are seeking help in processing a string of messy break-ups, exploring alternative relationship such as polyamory or intimacy styles such as kink and BDSM, dealing with cheating, shame, guilt or regret, or suffering from low self-esteem and feeling stuck. I listen, reflect, and support my clients with identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. Nothing is taboo or too shocking to bring to me. Also experienced in delivering workshops and seminars to groups, media and educational settings.
