Counselling in Carlisle

Finding a counsellor you feel comfortable with is really important, you may be facing some challenges and feel unable to speak freely to family or friends without feeling judged or that they aren't truly hearing what you have to say, this is where I can help. Within my practice I offer you a safe and non-judgemental space to openly speak about the things that may be troubling you. This could be things like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, relationship issues, lack of motivation, postpartum difficulties or bereavement.

I’m an experienced and qualified Person-Centred Counsellor / Psychotherapist. As your counsellor I offer a safe, respectful space for you, where you can explore personal issues and emotions, within a gentle and warm approach. It may be that you are feeling anxious or stressed and would like to explore these in order to move towards a feeling of emotional well being. Perhaps you might want to talk about difficulties at work, with family, personal relationships or sexual difficulties. Counselling can support you to find the resilience to work through these with courage and to find coping methods.

Art Therapy is an effective way to address personal challenges and develop self understanding, confidence and compassion. It is suitable for all ages and abilities and no art skills are needed to engage with the process. I encourage clients to make use of the materials provided during sessions which can help to externalise and visualise emotions which can be difficult or impossible to express in words. This can enable clients to reflect and process things which they may not even be aware are holding them back.

I am a qualified Person-Centred psychotherapist and clinical supervisor. I will provide you a non judgemental, accepting and empathic environment, where we can look more closely at the distress you are feeling and how it is impacting your life. We will explore what your needs are and with that your decisions and potential for growth can become clearer and more fully formed. By creating a trusting therapeutic relationship, we can navigate your thoughts, feelings and experiences (past and present) to better understand how they have worked together to form your understanding of who you are and how you perceive yourself in the world.

I'm a firm believer that each person is uniquely individual, and any therapeutic help they receive should be tailored to them, and their needs.​ Being Integrative means I'm not set on one school of thought, and work with you to find what approach fits best for you. You're in control of the sessions, you can bring whatever issues you'd like to discuss, , we go at a pace you're comfortable with. We'll look at working together to set realistic goals, based on what you'd like to achieve.

If you feel stuck or at a loss with your life, perhaps due to past or present experiences (for example relationship difficulties, illness, work problems, losses); or if thoughts and emotions are difficult to bear (maybe resulting in feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness or emptiness), you might benefit from talking – sharing with somebody who is there just for you, unbiased and non-judgemental.

Growing up neurodivergent (ND) can have an influence on your ability to connect, express emotions, feel whole & valuable due to society wanting you to conform to neurotypical (NT) standards. You may be realising the effects of growing up as an ND child especially if you were diagnosed as an adult, or you may be struggling to let go of the NT standards & thrive as a ND adult. Counselling is a great place to build a secure sense of self that helps you feel calm & centred through the difficult times. Together we can heal the disconnection, build coping strategies to recover from burnout & develop strength from the challenges you face.
