Life not working out like it should? Stress building up, relationships feeling strained or past experiences catching up with you? Together, we can explore what’s happening, helping you gain clarity, process challenges, and reconnect with yourself at your own pace. My approach is integrative, drawing from different counselling theories and techniques to suit your needs, so our work is tailored to you rather than us following a one-size-fits-all model. I specialise in helping with stress and pressure, navigating relationship and family challenges, working through past experiences and managing times you may feel stuck.

You may be experiencing feelings of anxiety or dissatisfaction with life. There may be problems at work that require an impartial caring ear or you may be feel there are questions about sexuality that you would like to consider. It could be that you want to look at your general mood or maybe there is simply the need to unpick your thoughts. In any instance, people often find that simply talking to another person about how they are feeling is helpful.

Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it shouldn’t feel like another place where you have to "mask." In my practice, I help adults and young people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or adults managing chronic conditions like pain and diabetes. People usually come to me when they’re simply ready for things to change. Together, we’ll look at the bigger picture to understand your patterns while building practical tools that actually work for your life. Whether you’re an adult looking for support or a parent seeking neuro-affirmative care for your child, I’m here to help you navigate it.

It can be tricky to choose a therapist and understand the various titles therapists go by and the different types of therapies on offer. I think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a supportive space to explore difficulties and patterns of behaviour. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work. (Online only- not in person).

Are you faced with difficulties, feeling angry, sad or anxious? I understand the reason you are seeking counselling may not be in relation to any specific issue. For example, you may want a safe and confidential space to explore your feelings or seek to grow as a person. It is my wish that our sessions together can help you to understand yourself better and provide greater insight and awareness of your presenting issues or life experience. My integrative training allows me to be flexible and adaptable with my approach, as I feel that therapy is not a one size fits all endeavour.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel stuck in patterns they cannot shift on their own. You may be living with intense emotions, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma. These struggles can leave you exhausted, hopeless, uncertain about who you are, and so overwhelmed that you detach from others. You might long to feel more grounded and confident, more at peace with uncertainty, and with the energy to move forward in the areas of life that matter most. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ practice in the NHS and settings, helping clients move towards lasting change.

Face to face and online, I have helped many clients recover from anxiety disorders, depression and self-esteem issues. I have helped clients with abandonment and rejection fears work on relationship issues so that they are able to live in harmony with others. We will work together with your presenting issues and we will also journey into your past to see if we can get to the root of why you feel the way you do and together we will work through any triggers so that your life becomes more manageable. There is nothing more enlightening than self discovery and becoming a more confident version of yourself is extremely empowering.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
