Counselling in Bury Saint Edmunds

Clients have come to me for many different reasons. From dealing with past traumas, connecting with their emotions and understanding their reactions, to working on a better sense of self and building confidence. Each client comes to therapy seeking a safe and non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts and emotions. They often come because they don't feel heard in their day-to-day life, or need somewhere to explore emotions without fear of reactions or feelings of guilt.

I like to work in a target focussed way, meaning at the beginning of treatment we will decide what you want to achieve from therapy and collaboratively work towards your goals; whether this is through the modality of CBT or counselling, we can be clear about what you wish to achieve from our time working together.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience as a Lead Clinician in the NHS. I work with clients using a person centred, compassionate approach- tailoring treatment to individual needs and circumstances. I have had vast experience across the spectrum of mental health difficulties in the adult population. Whether you are struggling with an anxiety disorder or depression, or overcoming past trauma, I will help you to understand your difficulties and find a way to manage and overcome the problems you are facing.

Clients approach me when they are seeking greater fulfilment in their lives. Anxiety, fear, and stress, can sometimes affect the relationship we have with ourselves and others . Clients always need to know that they are listened to and taken seriously. This is achieved by helping clients to become more tolerant and kinder to themselves. This is what I believe is the basis to my style of Psychotherapy.

Anxiety, depression, trauma, menopause – they all suck! I know because I’ve been where you are right now. And what you’re looking for is a way out of the dark space you’re in, right? So doesn’t it make sense to be guided by someone who knows the way? Who has been there and done it themselves? Nothing gives me more joy than guiding people along a path that has been trodden by not just me, but many others just like you!

Please know my Practice is full, thank you. I offer a reliable, confidential and non-judgmental space to help you explore your inner thoughts and feelings and support you in times of transition, distress and emotional need. We all have the right to be heard and seen, sometimes we can get stuck along the journey of life and encounter challenging thoughts and emotions.

I offer EMDR, CBT and Couples Counselling therapy and the aim is to help you to regain a sense of wellbeing and enjoyment in your life. During the initial assessment we will work together to understand your main problems, what is keeping you 'stuck' and then agree on an individualised treatment plan to help you move forward with clear treatment goals. CBT is an effective treatment that can help you in the here and now and EMDR is useful for getting to the root of the problem. I find that both work well, in different ways to bring about an improvement in emotional and physical health.

I currently work in Private Practice as an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I previously worked in the NHS with clients living with long term health conditions for over 30 years. Whether you are struggling with an anxiety disorder or depression or overcoming past trauma. I will help you understand your difficulties and find a way to manage and overcome the problems you are facing. Stressful life events can lead to feelings of helplessness and not coping. I provide a safe comfortable space for you to talk about anything that may be causing you difficulty.

Life can be overwhelming and full of challenges, often with obstacles getting in the way of you looking after your emotional wellbeing. Whether the barriers to a more fulfilling life are coming from you or are out of your control you can still find a way forward and my role is to help you with this. Whether you’re thinking “It’s probably just a me thing” or “It’s not that big of an issue” or even “I shouldn’t burden anyone else with this”, if you need someone to open up to, I’m here to help.

I am a qualified, integrative counsellor with experience of working with both adults and young people. I also work with organizations and EAP schemes, and happily accept new enquiries from these. Experiencing difficulties in life, while this may be inevitable, can be incredibly painful and isolating. My aim within my practice is to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic environment, where you can freely explore your concerns and worries. Taking that first step in counselling and finding the right therapist can be a daunting prospect, so I will endeavour to make sure that you feel as comfortable as possible.

I am a fully qualified and registered therapist. Life is not easy and you may feel lost, lonely, hopeless, overwhelmed or fed up with repeating the same patterns over and over again. Having the opportunity to share difficult events and process confusing emotions can alleviate distress and give you the space to find more satisfying and rewarding ways of living.

Welcome, If you are looking for a warm, caring, professional counsellor, then you are in the right place. With all the uncertainty of the coronavirus and people’s anxiety running high, other issues and problems haven't gone away. I am offering face to face appointments in my private office in Stanton. Here health and safety can be maintained. Saturday sessions are also available.

Many people come to counselling because they can't understand why they think or feel like they do. Maybe you feel misunderstood or unheard or anxious a lot of the time. Maybe you are down or depressed and possibly struggling to see the point sometimes. Has something happened or changed in your life that you are struggling to make sense of. You may have lost someone or something and are finding it hard to come to terms with. Whatever is troubling you I will provide a trusted, accepting and safe space where you can move towards your acceptance and understanding of yourself.

I have the best job in the world: it’s to help you find the peace you’re looking for. That’s what I’ve been doing, first as a shamanic counsellor then as a psychotherapist, for others just like you, for 45 years. Whether you have a phobia, or are in a dire, life-threatening situation, or anything in between, you’re just a call away from finding yourself warmly welcomed to a totally non-judgmental, safe, comfortable space where you can relax and unload whatever you want in total confidence: then we can get straight to work fixing it.

I support adults, children and young people who may be feeling anxious or low. I also help when people are struggling with managing different relationships at home, work, college or school. I offer children, young people and their families the opportunity to explore and find new ways of coping with their emotional and behavioural difficulties. This may be due to big changes at school or college, a divorce or any other big changes at home. I am able to offer in person meetings and we may also meet on Zoom. In addition to this I offer clinical supervision to fellow professionals, please contact me for further information.

I understand that life can be difficult and challenging and you may be struggling because you are going through a transitional period or feeling stuck which can be hard to deal with on your own, but it does not have to be. I provide a safe and supportive setting, free from intrusions and distractions that is confidential and respectful, whilst maintaining impartiality, integrity, and reliability. "The journey to healing is unique and personal one and you will need a guide, but the maps we are using does not identify the precise journey that we will take to get you there. However, I will be there with you to support you."
