Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed?
Together we can explore whatever issues arise and it is my belief that therapy can help you make sense of your experiences and unburden you to feel less alone. I won't offer you advice, instead, I offer you a safe, calm and welcoming space for you to be able to focus on what's important to you and realise your own path forward.

If you are coping with high levels of anxiety or depression, if past traumatic experiences are interfering in your ability to manage the present and sleep is problematic then this can change.
My approach is practical, collaborative, measurable and cost effective (as few sessions as possible). The Human Givens approach uses the latest information from neuro-scientists on how the brain works; recent findings from psychologists and knowledge of which therapeutic interventions work effectively.

Trauma can leave a lasting imprint on the brain, body and sense of self: Chronic anxiety and depression, difficulty trusting and connecting with others, low self-worth or shame, dissociation or numbing, fear of abandonment or rejection, people pleasing or extreme independence.
Feeling seen, heard and understood is essential for our health and I provide a safe place for this. When we feel that our bodies and minds are working against us it can overwhelm, exhaust and isolate us. I help people who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences reconnect with their sense of safety, worth and agency. Sometimes simply the absence of empathy and understanding in our early years can be sufficient to cause deep wounds. I am an experienced therapist, using a Trauma-informed, Attachment and body-based approach to gently support healing.

I am passionate about CBT and my therapeutic approach offers curiosity, compassion, support, non-judgement, knowledge and hope throughout a goals-led treatment process. I am a huge advocate for 'keeping things simple' and work creatively - using metaphors, imagery, reference to pop culture/social media platforms and humour (where appropriate!) to sustain client interest and aid learning and insight. I am a therapist who believes human connection is vital, particularly in this day-and-age of AI and virtual forms of interaction. My preferred method of working therefore is in-person (although I do also offer online methods.)

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
