Spirituality Counselling in Cambridge

Are things in your life feeling overwhelming? Perhaps you have a niggling sense of unease that you can’t ignore. Maybe you are feeling the weight of an old wound, or looking to find your way through a fresh one. Depression, feeling sad, anxiety, stress, grief, bereavement, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, spirituality , gender or sexual identity, including LGBTQIA+ experiences, are just a few of the reasons that you might be seeking psychotherapy. Whatever you are feeling, you are not alone. And whatever brings you to therapy, you are welcome and deserving of the space to talk.

My work centres around trauma, developmental trauma, emotional neglect and the capacity to understand and express feelings and emotions. Through working with body awareness, somatically and with mindfulness breathing, you will come to understand how these feelings arise in the first place; why your body responds and behaves a particularl way; why you say things in a particular way; why you act as you do. As you become aware of the effect of this on yourself and others, you can make decisions and choices on how to change this, so that you can live your life fully and authentically, and to its full potential.

Welcome. Therapy can help you to find a safe space in the world to start to trust that it is ok to be yourself. Often, this has not been possible for many people and this leads to anxiety, stress, depression and many other presenting symptoms. Therapy can help you to come back to your true nature, trusting that you are welcome to be seen and heard in both therapy and in your life.

Are you noticing and experiencing feelings of worry, and unable to shake it off? Are you increasingly tearful, sad, with low mood, low appetite, experiencing disturbed sleep/lack of a good quality sleep, nightmares, and tiredness? Feeling like something bad is going to happen? If so, do not be alone in your feelings, let's talk about it.

Hi, I am a Psychologist, Psychotherapist and a Mindfulness teacher. My training is based in Mindfulness and this could offer you a way to connect with yourself more fully and to develop practical skills for self-listening. This can be helpful if you find yourself disconnected from your feelings or having difficulties in understanding, communicating and/or relating with others.

I specialise in supporting adults (18+) to recover from anxiety disorders using CBT with ERP for OCD (e.g. panic disorder/panic attacks, agoraphobia and other phobias, social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety, OCD, etc.), low self-esteem and low mood/depression.

We all have times when we feel life is not the way we would like it to be. Relationships, work, big life events like serious illness, losing a loved one, redundancy or retirement; or issues and events like climate change, politics or the general state of the world - all these can get us down, and sometimes make us feel we’ve lost our way. The voice inside us that tells us there’s hope and something to look forward to can become very faint; we may hear it but not know what it’s saying; we may stop hearing it altogether. My approach to counselling starts with a belief that you can get back in touch with that voice.

I am an analytical psychologist, psychotherapist, and supervisor based in Cambridge. While I work with a wide variety of people who have a range of issues and concerns, each person who comes to see me is special and each problem or concern they have is unique to them. Some of the concerns and issues that bring people to contact me are deep trauma and feelings of desperation, while others find themselves faced with an unexpected situation or difficult decision or want to explore and develop a deeper understanding of their life experience.

I am an integrative Therapist with over 24 years of experience and an MA in Psychotherapy and counselling and am an accredited member of the BACP. I am passionate about the healing power of counselling, psychotherapy and the capacity of the human psyche to heal, develop and grow. This belief, coupled with my training and experience, underpins how I work with adults one-to-one. I can help with many areas of mental health and associated physical symptoms of: anxiety disorders, depression; underlying causes of emotional pain or distress. The process of counselling or psychotherapy can be life changing and enriching.

My approach is strengths-focused, creative, compassionate and collaborative, involving building realistic hope to negotiate obstacles to love and connection, and developed over 20 years experience of therapeutic work in the public and charity sectors. Once we have found an agreed focus, our work may involve careful navigation through sensitive dilemmas, discomfort, and unexamined beliefs to explore the impact of relationships in your life, as well as potentially untapped resources. The meaning of interactions within and across systems you are involved in, such as family, school, community and work, will be considered throughout.

I work with people presenting with a variety of difficulties including depression & anxiety, PTSD, and low self-esteem. These are all big umbrella terms yet in reality each person has their own unique life-story and set of difficulties. I will work with you in a transparent and caring way. I am trained in a modality of psychotherapy that lends itself to empowering and enabling you in a practical and robust sense. I am experienced in providing effective results in both short-term & long term counselling. My focus is on supporting you to achieve what you want to achieve and on creating maximum value for you going forward.

I love working with people who are openminded and honest and looking to improve their lives and explore some of their blocks. I have a lot of experience working with depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction and low self esteem. If you aren't happy with yourself or your life, I would love to find out why and help you to explore ways of making positive changes. I have transformed my life in a positive way so I speak from experience when I say radical transformation is possible if you are open to it. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to talk about the things that are really important to you.

We all might experience difficult times in life; feeling complicated feelings and struggling to understand what is going on for you and why is a normal occurrence. Using my knowledge and extensive experience as a psychotherapist I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your issues and reflect on your situation. A greater understanding of your internal world will enable you to gain insight into how you operate and understand yourself better. The therapeutic process will enable you to change your life and your relationships. I offer a safe space to faciliate the delicate journey of exploring.

I became a therapist after navigating my own journey with what life had presented me with and the likely hood is I've been somewhere similar to where you are right now and I've come out the other side. Together we can explore what is happening with you and in your life that has left you feeling anxious, depressed, sad, angry, low in self-esteem, empty or distressed. I will not only work with you on how and why you are suffering but also find with you ways to move past your struggles. I am not a therapist that sits back, Im here to sort things out with you.

I offer a space which is safe and non-judgemental where we can explore together what is happening with you and in your life that has left you feeling anxious, depressed, sad, low in self-esteem, empty or distressed and not knowing why. Through working together we will try to understand how these feelings are manifesting in your life - be it through addiction, social anxiety, eating disorders, discomfort in your body image, destructive relationships. I am a passionate practitioner of EMDR (Eye movement desensitization reprocessing), a cutting-edge and clinically proven psychotherapeutic technique for treatment of PTSD.
