Welcome, I work as a qualified counsellor and psychologist, with a trauma informed approach including EMDR Therapy. I help clients understand what’s making your life feel so difficult and how to move through it to a brighter future.

I'm also a breathwork facilitator and I have foundation proficiency in Functional Kinesiology. These extra modalities truly enhance the support I can offer my clients.

Do you ever find yourself falling into the same unhelpful patterns - relationships, working too much, health - but don't seem to be able to stop this? Do you ever feel distress, anxiety, depression or sadness that can feel uncontrollable? Have you suffered a recent trauma and need help for PTSD? As a psychologist with ten years experience offering therapy, often to individuals with complex needs, I am passionate about helping you to break your cycles and understand why they occur. This can include offering a safe space to explore any history of difficult experiences which you still feel effect you.

I offer a warm non judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, be they past or current, and begin to see how they may be affecting your life. I bring a warm, grounded presence and where it feels right a sense of humour and lightness too. Therapy doesn't have to be serious all the time. Sometimes a shared laugh or a moment of light relief is just as healing as tears. I love to work creatively and with, and in nature and offer walk and talk therapy. this can take place from my practice where we have access to countryside and forestry or in a convenient green space near you.

I support children and young people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, school distress, emotional regulation difficulties, or low self-esteem. Many of the families I work with have neurodivergent children, including those who are autistic or ADHD, who may feel misunderstood or unsupported. Parents often reach out when their child is masking, avoiding school, experiencing meltdowns, struggling with big emotions or day to day life. I offer a safe, understanding space where children can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, and build confidence, while also supporting parents with practical guidance.

Hello and welcome. I hope that I can help you with whatever it is that you are struggling with, be it grief, loss, trauma, change, anxiety, depression, stress etc. What makes you you is a unique blend of factors but at the same time it is good to know that it is very, very common to struggle or to need to make changes. I hope to offer a safe space for you to explore yourself (if that is what is needed) and to cope with your struggles.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) is an action focussed therapy that links with CBT.
We all get stuck, lost and don't know which path to take at times. We often then get into patterns to help us manage, we stop doing things that make us anxious, we drink or eat more for example, but these behaviours don't always connect with the person we want to be or the life we want to live. I want to help you to get back to the things that matter to you. I offer 1:1 online and The Space to Be outdoor therapy groups to children, young people and adults. Nature is a powerful ally in therapy and having fun and creating provides opportunities to learn skills that can positively impact on your day to day life now and future growth.

I’m particularly passionate about supporting "good church girls"—those who have taken on caregiving or problem-solving roles in their families. These responsibilities can feel isolating, leaving little room for your own needs. You might notice you are stuck in unhelpful patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety & unsure how to balance your needs with others’ expectations. Therapy can be a space to put yourself first for once: learn to set boundaries without guilt, let go of the need to always be “perfect”, reclaim your energy and time for what truly matters to you.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
