Many people come to counselling feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or affected by trauma, difficult life experiences, or challenges in current relationships.
As a qualified and registered BACP counsellor, I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
Together, we can make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck, helping you feel more understood, grounded, and able to move forward with greater confidence and self-awareness.

We all face times in our lives when we feel lost, anxious, and overwhelmed. We may find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, or feel like no-one will understand what we are going through. Sometimes intense memories of a loss or a traumatic event in our past may be hindering us from moving forward, creating painful patterns in our day to day lives. Perhaps we just feel that something is 'off' and sense that we are not living our lives in the most fulfilling and meaningful way possible. I am a qualified Integrative counsellor trained to work with adults and young people, and want to help you find a way forward.

Life is overwhelming sometimes. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or past trauma? Do you want to feel free from your past and more confident to handle what life throws your way? Do you want to talk to someone who will listen without judgement and respond with genuine empathy?

With 25 years experience as a Counsellor & 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist within various NHS, Education and Community-based services, I've since specialised in EMDR therapy and am an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK.
Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can also be effective in treating a broad range of issues, often in a relatively short-term time-frame.
EMDR helps process intense emotions, self-limiting beliefs & behavioural patterns in the present which seem stuck on repeat, as they often track back to distressing or overwhelming relational-issues or life events in the past.

Sometimes people may experience emotional distress and pain arising from life changes, relationship break-up, redundancy, bereavement. They may feel depressed, anxious or confused. Perhaps there's trauma, stress or difficult illness. Problems may be from the past too. Sometimes the cause can be unclear, where low mood or anxiety have become overwhelming. If you’re struggling on your own to make sense of things or to find a way forward, reach out to someone outside of your immediate circle of family and friends. Here you can experience being listened to without judgment, feel understood and work to resolve your difficulties.

I believe that deep healing becomes possible when we approach the psyche with compassion, curiosity, and a sincere willingness to listen to both body and soul. As a holistic Jungian psychotherapist, intuitive coach, healer, and supervisor, I work alongside individuals seeking to understand themselves more fully—often those navigating the aftermath of trauma, loss, dissociation, or long-held emotional struggles. My practice weaves together depth psychotherapy, spiritual insight, and somatic awareness, holding a safe and open space where every part of you—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—is welcomed and honoured.

Hello, I’m Iris. I’m an integrative counsellor and therapist working with adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, burnt out, or worn down from holding things together. Many people I work with appear to cope on the outside while feeling anxious, unsettled, or stuck beneath the surface. Therapy can offer a place to slow down, feel supported, and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying.

Great, you have already taken the first steps for you. I am not the expert on you, you are. I am here to support and explore with you what you maybe finding difficult or just not feeling Ok. This may be in your relationships, in your physical body or you are finding both these things are overwhelming sometimes. Together we can wonder, ponder and educate ourselves and understand, why? Then we can make a strategy and build on your already available resilience (you are here remember), and improve this together. This maybe just a few sessions, sometimes just one or a little longer if you need this.
