Working with anxiety, depression, low self worth, grief, stress, trauma, family/relationship problems, and I have provided support for end of life patients.
If you chose to work with me I pride myself on providing a safe, warm and friendly environment for you to explore your experiences, thoughts and difficult feelings without fear of judgement. With a deep understanding of ‘self’ and an open mind, I will walk with you through your experiences and aim to reconnect yourself with who you truly are and feel you can be. As a Person-Centred counsellor, you will always be at the centre of our work and our time together is yours to freely explore and guide the sessions wherever you wish to take them. I also provide CBT which allows me to work with you short term on specific problems or goals.

I offer a safe, calm space that is empathic, authentic, and non-judgemental. I fundamentally work with a humanistic, relational approach, appreciating that each client is unique in their lived experience. I also use an integrative approach to psychotherapy, meaning I use more than one modality. For example, I integrate developmental approaches, as I align with the theories that our childhood experiences impact us into adulthood, our sense of who we are, and what we bring to our close relationships. This is often unconscious to our day-to-day awareness.

I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist. I have been practicing in the NHS for 14+ years, and now also offer private sessions in a warm and welcoming clinic environment. We all have times in our life when we struggle with our emotions, mental well-being and relationships, or feel we have lost touch with who we are and what is important to us. Difficult experiences, now or in the past, can leave us feeling low in mood, anxious or with fluctuating emotions. If you feel this way then I hope to be able to help you.

Is your self-worth holding you back? Are you looking for a safe space to speak openly, separate from your usual connections. Do you find yourself moving between overwhelm and shutdown, one moment everything feels too much, the next, you feel disconnected or unsure of yourself? Would you value support with discovering tools for emotional regulation and self-care. Maybe you're here looking at counselling profiles because you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back, discover your voice, what matters to you. My experience is rooted in supporting self-esteem, personal/work stress, anxiety, worry, and historical relational trauma.

I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist & Counsellor specialising in loss, grief and trauma.
We all experience losses in life – not just when someone dies but when we lose anything that is important to us: our relationships, our dreams of having a family, our health, our home, our job, our independence, our pets, and our hopes or expectations. Often, we are able to grieve for those losses and adjust but sometimes we are left feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, angry, guilty, ashamed, withdrawn, or numb for many months or even years later. Adjusting to losses in life is not about ‘getting over’ them but about finding ways to live a life that includes them.

I offer trauma-informed counselling and EMDR in Sheffield for adults experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences.

Change may be a natural part of human life, but it can be difficult to figure out what happens next when suddenly something new occurs. The emotional effects of traumatic life events can knock you off balance influencing the way you think and feel about yourself now and in the future. I hope to help people make sense of the emotional impact of life events and how they influence day to day emotions. Therapy gives you the time and place to process the difficult events in your life.

When overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, struggling with loss or suffering from anxiety, stress, and depression, people often have no one to turn to.
Grieving can be a very lonely experience and so I join my clients on their journey, listening with empathy, allowing them to be ‘heard’ as they work through their pain, and enabling them to find hope, purpose and happiness in life again. My support also covers loss associated with miscarriages, pets, relationships, jobs or roles and changes in later life.

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.
