I help with anxiety, depression or stress in a secure and gentle way.
I will guide you gently through how we might work together. We will discuss confidentiality and answer any and all questions you might have in a relaxed space. If you would like me to, I could help in determining your goals in therapy and will make a plan to achieve these together, in the form of a type of “contract” that we work together on. Be prepared to laugh, cry, stretch, grow and reach goals you might have thought were impossible.

I have worked with many clients with varying degrees of personal difficulties; severe and mild distress including depression, anxiety, suicide, low-self-esteem, earlier life trauma, PTSD, relational difficulties and many more.
I offer a safe space for my clients to explore their difficulties without fear of judgement. I am compassionate, supportive and gentle challenging psychologist. My experience has come from working as a psychotherapist in NHS mental health services. I work in an integrative way and I use diagnostic labels cautiously to avoid medicalising notions of distress.

I can offer some solutions, such as coping mechanisms for managing trauma responses such as anxiety and depression.
I understand the dynamics of unhealthy relationships and why we get stuck in them. For couples I help by developing healthy communication, having a safe space to process and discuss difficulties within the relationship. We look at what is going on and develop strategies, with empathy, to improve the quality of the relationship.

I work with Anxiety, Relationship issues, Self-harm and Depression.
Good therapy is about change: changing reactions, behaviours, a difficult aspect of self, challenging attitudes/beliefs about yourself or your story. I love working with clients who are prepared to jump in, take risks and seek solutions - this is the way to ensure real change. I will jump in and risk too. I value being human and involved in the therapy and am also practically minded and view the best wisdom as something that can directly be applied to life. A supervisee recently described me as "real, relational, ordinary, practical and not floaty/wispy". I like to incorporate psychoeducation and relevant theoretical information.
