" 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.
After 13 years in the NHS, I’ve learned that one-size-fits-all therapy doesn't work. I mix approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and CFT with systemic ideas to give you practical tools that fit your life. Whether you’re an adult building resilience or a parent trying to support your child, we’ll work together to find exactly what helps you move forward.

Clients often come to see me with struggles in their relationships, symptoms of anxiety or experiences of depression.
Together, we explore how you understand your world, and how you relate to yourself and the people around you. By thinking about both what happened in the past and what is going on in the present, we will bring existing patterns and strategies to the forefront and consider how helpful or unhelpful they are to you at this time.

I am experienced in helping with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, alcohol related issues and relationship problems.
Couples counselling - relationships can be challenging and couples can drift into patterns of behaving and relating to each other that damage the intimacy and connection between them. It can be difficult to see what is happening from inside the relationship and counselling can help untangle confusion and offer a different perspective.

The idea of seeking counselling or psychotherapy can feel like a daunting prospect. However, sometimes we can face struggles in life that seem too difficult to cope with alone. It takes courage in taking the first steps to seek help and support. My personal philosophy is that we are all complex unique individuals with our own needs, but sometimes these needs get distorted as we try to fit in and be accepted by others, or we simply become lost in the "busy-ness" of our lives. I am a highly experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with over 15 years experience working with a wide range of clients and their issues.

We will talk and I will support you in making changes that you want, understanding yourself and others, gaining clarity about your feelings and thoughts. Things will start making more sense. Therapy will help to refresh your view of reality and what matters to you. It helps to re-evaluate some habits, relationships, decisions and choices for a better life.

I am trained and qualified in helping clients with a variety of problems from depression and anxiety to Personality Disorders.
Clients generally come to me when they are struggling with some aspect of their emotions, thoughts or behaviour. My aim is to help my client with accepting or changing some aspect of these three areas. Every client comes with unique issues and from my seat I view the issues as one, "a block in the road to wellness". I am keenly aware that all clients come with individual goals and I am here to help. Many of my clients use the phrase “I just want to feel better". This is my hope for everyone who engages with me in therapy. Together we will unpack what this really means, and develop a plan of how to make it happen.

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.
