Hi there. Thank you for looking at my profile. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling to accept and come to terms with potentially life-changing neurological conditions such as stroke (including aphasia), TIAs, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and those who are neurodiverse. I am also a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, and hypnotherapy can be offered either as a standalone approach or integrated into counselling sessions where appropriate and with your consent. It can be difficult to talk to those close to us for a variety of reasons, but sometimes we simply need to be heard without judgement or fear of hurting our loved one

If you’ve landed here, chances are you’re tired. And not just the “really need a nap” kind of tired, but the deep, soul-level exhaustion that comes from trying to hold everything together for too long.
Maybe you’re living with chronic illness, trauma, or the quieter kind of pain that’s harder to name but just as heavy to carry.
Maybe you’ve spent years being “the strong one” for everyone else and now there’s nothing left in the tank for you.
Whatever shape your story takes, you deserve a place to finally tell it and gently set down the weight you’ve been carrying, even if it's just for a little while.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
