I have a special interest and experience in supporting people who are going through fertility treatment, and helping people with birth trauma, and postpartum body confidence - helping you to tell your story - what happened to you?
Are you weighed down by anxiety or depression? Perhaps you are going through fertility treatment and you feel an overwhelming mix of emotions - including hope and fear - and you're holding it all together - lots of spinning plates - it feels too much to carry at times. Have you given birth and the birth was difficult and you know that you need to process what happened to you, but at the same time you push the memory away so that you can get through the day - perhaps your body is different, now, since you gave birth? Perhaps you have scars, stretch marks, loose skin, a prolapse? Are you feeling lost and unsure of who you are?

My approach to therapy is one where you can expect honesty, compassion, and real conversations that matter. I'll bring warmth, authenticity and the occasional laugh - because sometimes humour really is the best therapy. We work together as a team. I’ll support you on your journey until you get where you need to be. I’m a pluralistic counsellor which means I can draw from various therapeutic approaches (CBT, Person Centred & Pyschodynamic) to create a tailored experience that’s as unique as you are.

Know thyself is an ancient aphorism that encourages individuals to explore and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. The phrase dates back to ancient Greece, where it was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. At its core, know thyself is a call to introspection, self-awareness, and personal growth. It encourages you to look within, explore your thoughts and emotions, and gain insight into their motivations, values, and beliefs. By knowing yourself, you can better understand your strengths and weaknesses, make more informed choices, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Everyone at some point in their lives will face a situation that they will need help to deal with. I believe it is important that people don’t feel alone in hard times, and it should never be seen as a sign of weakness to ask for help. My aim is to help to make sense of why we might suffer from panic, anxiety, depression. or find ourselves in repeated situations that leave us struggling with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, unfulfilled and unmotivated. I offer a secure, empathic and respectful environment to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

At Holt and Heart Counselling, I work with adults who may be facing feelings of anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. I offer a safe space to pause, reflect and be heard—a place to reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and sense of self. Therapy can help you begin to gently turn back toward yourself, to begin trusting your own inner compass again. Not by shutting others out, but by including yourself in the picture with the same care and importance you give to those around you.

You may have had experience of counselling or therapy , or none at all. Sometimes it is hard to make the first step into talking therapy. You may be feeling that it could be helpful to have some time to talk about what is going on in your life, about feelings of loss, unhappiness, anxiety or maybe that things are just not 'right'. Feelings of loneliness and isolation are particularly difficult at this time. Working with the right counsellor can help to work through issues from the past , present day problems or looking towards the future and what you may want to change in your life.

Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

If you're struggling with anxiety or depression at the moment then I can help. At the heart of my work is the belief that our earliest relationships shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. I help clients explore potentially hidden patterns of trust and security that may be having an impact on their relationships, emotions, and sense of self. I provide a supportive space for you to slow down, reflect, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. By bringing these into the open, you can begin to create new ways of relating, heal from old wounds and develop a more authentic sense of self.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.

When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.

How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
