Counselling in Deddington

Most of my work has been in short-term CBT/ACT with the NHS and insurance companies helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-esteem, and PTSD. My main focus for CPD in the past couple years has been working with trauma. However, as I am currently only working remotely, I only take cases of simple PTSD/trauma such as one-off traumas. I prefer to help clients with complex, multiple, and/or long-term traumas in-person and long-term, but that is not currently a possibility for me. In my 20+ years of working as a psychotherapist, I have also helped people with relational difficulties.

Sometimes life can be tough and even the smallest things can seem overwhelming. Taking the first step to reach out for help can be hard. When we feel overwhelmed, stuck or out of balance, counselling can help support you through these difficult times. I offer a warm and compassionate space where you can explore what is going on for you confidentially without fear or judgement. You may already know what you want to explore, or you may just have a vague sense of what feels wrong. I can support you to explore your own unique experiences and to find a way forward.

I am a highly specialist psychologist, who works therapeutically with both adults and children. I offer evidence based therapy for a variety of presenting difficulties. I have particular expertise in offering attachment and trauma informed therapeutic support for looked after or adopted children, their families and health professionals.

I am Qualified Integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist, dedicated to helping every individual thrive in their own way, according to their specific need. Tailored to each individual I use varieties of therapeutic treatments including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analyses, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), also relaxation techniques.

Anyone who is interested in addressing their mental wellbeing as a result of crisis, being in need of symptom management or is simply concerned with personal development

I work with people who have experienced trauma in childhood or as an adult. You may be a survivor of physical and/or sexual and/or emotional abuse. You may have experienced loss or tragedy, personal violence or witnessed this. You may have PTSD or Complex PTSD, anger, anxiety, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm. Experiencing abuse of any kind can leave you with a whole range of difficult and challenging emotions and reactions, and we can feel confused, scared and unsure of many things. I will offer you an accepting and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings on your journey to recovery.

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost or confused. Counselling can help you make better sense of your thoughts and feelings and find a way through your challenges. I believe you already have all you need in you to be who and how you want to be. Change is possible if you want it to be, you may just need a helping hand to see what's getting in the way. I'd like to help you better understand yourself, so you can develop the self-compassion and strategies you need to thrive.

Do any of these feel familiar? a sense of loss, confusion, or not knowing where to turn. Maybe feelings of anxiousness, stress and worry and not knowing how to cope. It could feelings of being judged, misunderstood and alone

Sometimes feelings can be overwhelming to hold alone and you might want to share this with someone who is trained to listen, who offers a safe and nurturing space. Changes in your life may have created a loss of the person you once were. Perhaps you feel that you lack purpose and you would like more meaning in your life. You may have conflicting feelings, or what once seemed to make sense may have become confusing. Situations may be familiar, yet uncomfortable and you may be wondering why you can’t move forward.

Hello and welcome. Making the decision to begin therapy or counselling can be anxiety provoking. It is important, therefore, to find the right therapist or counsellor for you, as this is a vital element of the psychotherapeutic process. Finding a therapist or counsellor you feel safe with and with whom you have a sense of connection will enable you to explore the issues. People of all ethnicities and social backgrounds seek therapy for a plethora of reasons, and I welcome patients whatever their culture, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, or gender.
