I see my role as supporting you to discover the gold you really are and bring that into your life. Sessions with me support you to look at your life from a fresh perspective, clients tell me that it's like being given a new pair of eyes through which to see the world and a bank of tools with which to live by. People call me a ‘people expert’ because I have the ability to see through issues, get to the core of concerns and see clearly how you can uncover and maximise the core strengths you have within.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with specialist training in working with teenagers & children who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, behavioural challenges, trauma, or difficulties managing big emotions.
Many young people feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves, and this can be stressful not only for them but for the parents and caregivers who care for them. My aim is to create a safe, supportive environment where young clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, so that they can begin to explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism.

I offer a safe and confidential space where you will have the chance to share your problems, your difficult feelings, your pain and your life story.

We live busy lives and for many, it is difficult to stop and notice, most of the time, what is going on inside us. As we reconnect to our feelings and our essence there is an immediate sense

What do most of us desire beneath it all? To feel good, whole and comfortable within ourselves and in the relationships around us. That state of peaceful being resides within all of us but often past traumas and challenging life experiences have shaped who we have become, influencing the story of who we now think we are. These beliefs often disconnect us from our true, best selves. Trauma happens, and often feelings of shame result. Living our lives wishing bad events never happened leave us feeling powerless but incorporating our past experiences in a way that does not debilitate, permits us to live with them, not ruled by them.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counsellors
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, and sertraline, among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
