Whatever has brought you to counselling, it is likely something important and personal to you. Reaching the point of seeking professional help often means something has become too difficult to carry alone. There are few experiences more grounding than being truly listened to, without judgement or expectation. I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you are free to explore whatever troubles you, at your own pace. Therapy can help you make sense of difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and support you in finding greater clarity, understanding, and emotional balance.

Each of us gets thrown off balance at times by events and by difficult feelings and thoughts. Each of us benefits from, and deserves, close attention and support. As an experienced counsellor, I provide a quiet, safe space in an often disorderly world. You might be anxious, stressed, sleepless, fearful, sad, overwhelmed and/or feeling stuck. Together we can explore, understand and manage your concerns. By helping you understand your motivations, values and style of relating, I can also help with your professional development and confidence. I work in private practice in Hadleigh (Suffolk) and Sudbury. I also work online.

These include the areas of disordered eating, body image issues (including body dysmorphia), addiction (self-medicating to avoid the effects of trauma), being drawn to abusive relationships and patterns of becoming stuck and paralyzed in these damaging dynamics. The heart of my therapeutic work is to help clients discover their authentic self and to gently dis-engage from painful old beliefs they may have internalized from complex and overwhelming environments.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

I am trauma trained and specialise in sexual violence.
It’s not always easy to know how you’re feeling or where to start. Sometimes we are aware of things that have affected us. Other times, things can be harder to recognise. The experiences that shape us can be distinct or more subtle, yet all can affect how we feel, our sense of self, the choices we make, and how we relate to others.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
