Are you looking for help with anxiety or depression? Is it hard to make sense out of your life and your identity as a male or female?...whether its work, family, or relationship related?...are you willing to work honestly and to be challenged?...you will be hoping for an empathic and non judgemental approach...and will be prepared to focus on how you and I can work together to bring about the changes that you need in your life. Are you open to new ways of working on old problems, even if the journey feels rather scary? You won't be alone in this process. Couples therapy is a specialism and I am also a "male friendly" therapist.

Perhaps you have been struggling for a while - longer than you might admit. You may be caught in cycles of anxiety or low mood that feel impossible to break, or living with intrusive thoughts that are exhausting to manage. Perhaps you are navigating the emotional challenges of pregnancy or new parenthood, or carrying difficult experiences from the past that still affect you today. You have tried to cope alone. You want something structured and evidence-based - not just to talk, but to understand what is keeping you stuck and learn practical tools to change it. You are ready to do the work.

Life can feel hard sometimes. A crisis that throws everything we took for granted into the air, crashing us and our life into a million pieces. A gnawing sense that we are running from ourselves, our past, things that we are scared to face but we know are dictating our current life. A subtle but disquieting sense that life was supposed to be or feel different to this, that we are meant for more, but we don’t know what. A realisation that our mind is at constant war with us and the fear and lack of peace that goes along with that.

You may be caught in cycles of anxiety that feel impossible to break: constant worry, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, or compulsive behaviours. Perhaps you're living with the aftermath of trauma or loss that still affects you today. Or you're exhausted by low mood and self-doubt that gets in the way of the life. It’s not easy managing alone. I have over 5 years NHS experience helping people better understand their thoughts and what's keeping them stuck, and to learn practical tools to change.

Life can be incredibly challenging at times, overwhelming even. Any one of us can be left feeling depleted, not good enough, or unable to cope alone, in any given circumstance. Being offered the opportunity to be heard without judgement, or criticism, along with the chance to experience Yourself as You are, rather than how You think You 'should' be, can be very powerful and incredibly beneficial.

I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

Experiencing and living with anxiety or depression can hugely impact on your quality of life and can be debilitating. There may have been difficult experiences in your life that continue to impact on your now, and have changed the way you see yourself, others and the world. People often struggle with self critical thoughts, or have a lack of confidence in themselves. Anxiety can present in lots of different ways, or begin following life events, like having a baby or starting a new job. Learning to understand what leads to anxiety or low mood, for you individually, and how to make changes to feel better is empowering.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
