I know that it can be daunting reaching out for help and that many people never do reach out, perhaps because they are the strong ones who are supporting everyone else around them so their needs are at the bottom of the long list of things to do and people to look after. Please know that you are important too. If you're feeling troubled, I'm here to listen without judgement and I can help and support you to work towards feeling better. Remember there is always hope. I can be flexible with appointments and if you don't have time to come and see me in person and don't like the idea of zoom/facetime, we can do telephone sessions.

I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift, whether that’s anxiety, overthinking, low confidence, sleep issues, or relationships that don’t feel quite right.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I draw from CBT and hypnotherapy, alongside mindfulness and evidence-based tools, to help you understand your patterns and build strategies you can use in everyday life. It’s about helping you develop clarity, self-trust, and the confidence to approach your life and relationships differently.

Are you and your partner caught in patterns that feel impossible to move away from? Repeated misunderstandings conflicts that never quite resolve, a growing sense of disconnection — or a crossroads where you're wondering whether to stay or go? I'm a systemic psychotherapist and family therapist with over 10 years' post-qualifying experience in the NHS and a range of other clinical settings, with specialist training in RLT couples therapy. I work with couples where ways of coping that once made perfect sense — perhaps learned in childhood or earlier relationships — have become obstacles to the intimacy and connection they want now.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
