I have had further Psychodynamic and Integrative Training in Couples Counselling which I feel passionately about.
We can all struggle at times but I find it's best not to do this alone, so let's talk about it. Sometimes an outside perspective can help to highlight blindspots in our thought patterns and in our routine ways of being. 

 Trust, confidentiality and being a positive support in the midst of someone's difficulties are the cornerstones of counselling. Let's meet in a safe space where you can share your story and we'll see what work we can work on, together.
 Feeling understood by and having a sense of connection with your counsellor will put you in the best position for a more comfortable experience and promote deeper work together.

If you’re navigating the crossroads of neurodivergence and emotional wellbeing, this is a space to unmask and live as your whole, authentic self - not the version you were conditioned to be. Unmask: Let go of the masks you’ve worn to survive - the habits of fitting in, pushing through, or holding it all together. Heal: Together, we’ll explore how past experiences shape your present, to free yourself from what no longer serves you. Rise: Step into your empowered era - a life that feels like freedom.

I am a UKCP registered Counsellor and Psychotherapist, currently offering therapy in person, online or via the telephone. Appointments are available weekdays evenings. As the demands of day to day living have increased so have the levels of stress, anxiety and depression, these being a subsequent cause of personal and professional relational issues, therefore it is understandable, even acceptable that therapy has become a favourable option to help many of us address our challenges. It is my experience that therapy can provide us with a real opportunity to attain fresh understanding for the events cause us distress in our lives.

I support clients in understanding how their responses, communication styles, and past experiences influence interactions, enabling more attuned, supportive, and effective relationships with their children.
Are you struggling with the stresses and strains that family, friendship, and/ or work life can bring and unsure what to do? Life is not always easy or straightforward, our lives can become challenging at times, causing us to feel overwhelmed with an array of complex emotions which can have an impact on our daily lives. Very often we don’t have someone that we can completely share our innermost thoughts and feelings with so having someone who is a trained professional, allows the opportunity to open up and confide in. I trust that I am able to provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work collaboratively with you.

I also work with couples who feel caught in cycles of conflict or disconnection.

I work in an integrative way, focusing on how your past experiences and relationships may be shaping how you feel about yourself and others today (attachment patterns), and also drawing on CBT, inner-child work, and person-centred counselling, as required.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions? It can sometimes feel as though things spiral before we even realise what's happening. You don't have to navigate this alone. Reaching out for therapy can feel daunting, but I aim to make that first step as easy and gentle as possible, and I will always respond to enquiries quickly. My approach is warm, collaborative, and curious. I can help you understand your own unique world, become more attuned to your internal dialogue, and move towards more secure and meaningful connections in your life. Therapy becomes a place of safety, hope, understanding, and real change.

If, and when you are ready to talk, I offer a safe, straightforward space—online or in Braintree—to help you move forward, your way.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression anxiety trauma related to their relationships or family.
I often use Psychodynamic psychotherapy in my practice. In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will explore unconscious mind and past experiences to understand and resolve present day difficulties. I will help you to learn to push back against these thoughts.

I have also trained as a Child and Family Mediator, which informs my work with couples and families, particularly those navigating separation and co-parenting arrangements.
A significant part of my practice is couples work. Most couples arrive for therapy certain that the other person is the problem. What usually emerges over time is a shared dynamic, patterns that both people are contributing to. When that becomes conscious, couples can begin to work with each other rather than against each other.
