Life can feel like too much sometimes, the endless mental to-do lists, the racing thoughts, the feeling that everyone else got a guidebook you somehow missed. You might be doing your best to hold it all together, but inside you’re exhausted, scattered, or anxious. You might be: • Living with ADHD, feeling constantly overwhelmed, disorganised, or frustrated that you can’t “just get things done” no matter how hard you try. • Struggling with anxiety, always waiting for something to go wrong, your mind on overdrive even when nothing’s happening. • Carrying the effects of past trauma, abuse, or addiction.

I have experience working with clients with a wide variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, self-harm, relationship issues, domestic abuse, weight loss, chronic pain, and PTSD. Some clients have a good understanding of their issues and what they want to achieve, whereas others are not so sure and want help to find these things out. Whilst some issues are fairly clear cut, others can be more complex and have been present for a long time. Regardless of this, all of my clients have wanted to make changes that will improve their situation and help them to enjoy life.

My ideal client is an adult navigating life's transitions - perhaps facing divorce, motherhood challenges, workplace burnout, or grief. They're experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties and feel overwhelmed by change. They're ready to explore their emotions honestly, seeking clarity and tools for moving forward. Whether in crisis or simply wanting deeper self-understanding, they're looking for a safe space to process their experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with their authentic self at their own pace.

You may appear capable, driven, and outwardly successful, yet inside feel anxious, restless, or unable to truly switch off. Your mind stays busy — replaying conversations, anticipating problems, striving to get things right. Rest can feel uncomfortable or unsafe, and self-doubt may linger despite your achievements. Many women I work with carry a constant internal pressure to perform, please others, or not fail. You may long for emotional relief, clarity, and a deeper sense of groundedness — to reconnect with who you are beneath roles, expectations, and self-monitoring.

Do you long to experience some peace, freedom and self trust around food? I believe this should be a birthright for everyone. If you are feeling out of control around food and concerned about the size or shape of your body, I get it because I've been there. I now use my professional and lived experience to help others find their way out of the prison of binge eating. I'm sure you have tried many times to gain control of your eating and maybe you're at a point where you're thinking there must be more going on than simply not being able to stick to a diet. Is therapy the answer?

Although I don't provide Reiki within my counselling sessions, I do sometimes draw upon certain aspects of energy work, meditation and mindfulness when appropriate.
I can assist you in gaining insight & understanding into your history to help you make clearer decisions about your future. As we work together to understand the way you are, the easier it will be for you to make decisions to make your life, career and relationships happier, more balanced and more empowered. In therapy you will have a unique chance to be authentic without self-censorship or consideration of others; where the focus is solely on you. As there are so few chances to encounter this kind of interaction, this acts as a powerful catalyst for change and transformation.

If you are ready to explore, we can use EMDR with mindfulness to facilitate the body/mind’s natural ability to heal itself.
Therapy should be a collaborative process of uncovering the ‘gold’ that lies within all of us. This ‘gold’ has often been buried under lots of conditioning from early life experiences, trauma and the unhelpful 'protective' strategies that we develop, which tend to make things worse. Trying to solve our problems alone can often result in spiralling thoughts. I believe that we all have a wise and compassionate nature within us, which we often access to support others and neglect to direct towards ourselves. My goal is to support you accessing this side of yourself and discover the gold within you, moving any blocks out of the way.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
