I may be the right therapist for you if you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t feel helpful. Perhaps it left you feeling discouraged, or as though you were failing, or the approaches or techniques you were offered didn’t feel like the right fit. I offer a space where you can genuinely be you. I work with clients who are struggling with their mental health, life circumstances, or who simply need someone to talk to. My clients tend to find that being understood and accepted in this way can be a transformative experience, and can help them find new ways of thinking and being.

While therapy isn’t about giving advice, as a humanistic integrative therapist I offer empathic understanding alongside gentle challenging of perspectives to help you process emotions and change behaviours that don’t serve you well. Life is complicated, and part of being human is contending with an array of emotions, challenges and relationships, which often become unbalanced. It can be difficult to navigate these ‘bumps in the road’ and we may feel overwhelmed and stuck. For many of us, we are struggling with past traumas or present conflicts, and often both, so finding a way forward can seem incomprehensible.

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.

Some people come to counselling because they are struggling with anxiety, self criticism, relationship difficulties, difficult emotions, or a sense of feeling stuck. Others arrive with a feeling that something is not quite right, even if they cannot fully explain what that is. Often, people have spent years trying to make sense of their experiences, yet still find themselves returning to the same thoughts, emotions, behaviours, or relationship patterns. Through questions, reflection, and gentle challenge, we explore these experiences together and develop a deeper understanding of what may be happening beneath the surface.

I have worked alongside people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, experiencing a broad range of mental health difficulties. These include depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, OCD, PTSD, workplace stress, attachment and relationship difficulties. I am also experienced working with members of both the LGBTQ and neurodiverse communities. I take a non-judgmental approach to others, and believes that building positive, trusting relationships is central to therapy. I believe each person, and their difficulties, deserves a psychological approach tailored to their own, personal experience and preferences.

Counsellor, MBACP
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.
