I am able to work with many issues that may be causing distress of difficulties in life, anxiety, stress, self esteem, confidence, bereavement, suicide, suicide ideation, self harm, health anxiety, and any other issues that may cause unbalance.
I am an Integrative Therapist and fully believe every individual has the ability to make changes for themselves...sometimes it takes for someone to walk with you on that journey to help you see, support and nurture what is already there but hidden from view. I pride myself on providing a confidential, safe, welcoming space for people to feel comfortable to explore any feelings and emotions which may be causing some discomfort in their every day life.

CBT and EMDR have a good evidence base in helping people with trauma related symptoms/PTSD/traumatic bereavement, or where people need to process painful memories from the past.
I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. If you're struggling with difficulties related to traumas or painful memories from the past, then I can help you to make sense of these and to understand why you're feeling overwhelmed. We can then process the painful memories and emotions to help you to feel calmer and more content. I have a particular interest in helping people with anxiety disorders (like OCD, social anxiety, health anxiety). I will help you to understand what keeps you stuck, and to build the confidence and skills to challenge yourself, and live the kind of life that you want to.

Life can feel exhausting when you’ve spent years carrying anxiety, low mood, trauma, or relationship difficulties while trying to hold everything together on the outside. Some people come to therapy knowing exactly what is wrong, while others simply know they do not feel like themselves anymore. I work with adults, children, and young people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, masking, people-pleasing, and relationship difficulties.

Through counselling we can explore whatever you bring, such as but not limited to trauma, abuse (of all kinds), identity issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders & loss.
I'm an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor- which means that I am trained in and draw from the three main schools of thought and tailor my approach to you; not applying any particular method but rather meeting you where you are, and going from there. As there is no one set way of being, I believe there is no one set way of working therapeutically with another, so our therapeutic relationship is important. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to look at what brings you to counselling, any queries you may have, and to see how we 'fit' and how you feel about the prospect of beginning sessions with me.

I help people struggling with a range of difficulties - including loss and grief of all kinds - to feel less overwhelmed, more open to new experiences, and more trusting of themselves.
I specialise in person-centred therapy, which is based on the belief that we have a natural tendency within us for self-discovery and self-direction, which can be helped by being heard and understood. Through this process we can feel more in touch with what we feel, what is important to us, and become more empowered to make our own decisions.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
