We can all have difficulties in everyday life and encounter problems that we simply find hard to cope with alone. You may feel worried, anxious, low, confused, isolated or may be experience difficulties in relationships. You may be suffering from feelings of low self esteem or low self confidence. You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, depression, or maybe you are just feeling sad. When these feelings and thoughts persist and become overwhelming it may be difficult to know which way to turn.

I work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about their lives. Clients often come to therapy when they are struggling with relationships, stress, burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions, or patterns that no longer feel helpful. Some may have spent years managing alone and are ready to understand themselves more deeply. Together, we explore your experiences, including how the past may shape the present, in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space, helping you develop greater resilience, clarity and self-understanding while creating the opportunity for meaningful change.

Life can present difficulties and challenges due to various circumstances, complicated relationships, work or home-related issues, or grief and loss. If you are feeling anxious, unhappy, or unsure where to turn, counselling provides an opportunity to explore your concerns and better understand yourself and your emotions. This can lead to increased self-confidence and resilience in life. As a parent of a Special Educational Needs (SEN) child, I understand the challenges and stresses. I also offer counselling to parents and carers of SEN children and adolescents, supporting you on this unique journey.

Hay experiencias que cuesta poner en palabras, sobre todo cuando vienen de rachas duras o de situaciones que pocos entienden. Aquí no hace falta explicarlo todo de golpe, ni encontrar las palabras perfectas.
Soy psicoterapeuta integrativa con años de experiencia trabajando con personas adultas en situaciones muy difíciles: falta de hogar, consumo de drogas/alcohol, problemas de salud mental. He aprendido que la vida a veces no encaja en casillas, y que quien más lo necesita suele ser quien menos apoyo recibe.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist (BA Hons) offering a warm, non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.
My approach is person-centred and integrative, which means I adapt therapy to the individual rather than following a “one size fits all” approach.

You might have been diagnosed with C-PTSD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD or other mental health issues.
Welcome. You're not alone. And you can change.
Being traumatised can feel like being trapped in a wooden rowboat on the choppiest, wildest ocean imaginable – in danger, out of control, with no help, support, anchor or safety in sight.
You can change from traumatised to un-traumatised. From anxious and depressed to calm and balanced. From emotionally overwhelmed to having great emotional awareness, management and resilience. From feeling physically vulnerable and unsafe to confident and strong in your body. You can become your own anchor, able to ground and support yourself when life is, inevitably, challenging.

Are you experiencing a difficult or challenging time in your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck and unable to move forward?

Bipolar Disorder Counsellors
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
