I also work with those who grew up with emotionally immature parents and adult children of alcoholics, and the lasting impact this can have on our lives and relationships.
If you’re searching for the right counsellor for you, the best tip I can offer is to contact a few and find someone you feel drawn to, someone you can connect with and form a warm and safe working relationship with. In my experience this really is what makes all the difference.

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor offering a calm, confidential space. Together we can make sense of your distress, exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
I am interested in thinking about how the present may be informed by the past. Our day-to-day behaviours, emotions and thoughts are influenced by our early relationships and experiences and what we made of them. Exploring this together can be useful, creating a deeper understanding of your current difficulties and opening up new ways of relating to yourself and others.

It is so hard to watch your child struggle, and despite your best efforts, remain unsure how to support them. They may have become anxious, withdrawn, or struggling at school. Maybe their moods are unpredictable, or they are stuck in patterns that seem difficult to understand. Perhaps something difficult has happened in the past and you’re wondering if it’s still affecting them. You might feel that you have tried everything but it hasn't worked, leaving you feeling powerless and unsure how to best support.
Therapy can help your child make sense of their emotions, process difficult experiences, and regain a sense of control.

I understand how hard getting support can feel; not knowing how talking might help or if you’re ready to let someone share your inner world. Finding the right fit for you shouldn’t also be part of the struggle.
Most people come to therapy to stop hiding. But for Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, the therapy can sometimes feel like another place where you must mask, explain yourself, or justify your sensory needs.
Whether you’re processing or exploring ADHD/Autism/AuDHD, exploring your gender or sexuality, or just ‘managing’ living in an inhospitable world, I provide a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

People choose to start psychotherapy for a variety of deeply personal reasons. You might be navigating challenging life transitions, struggling with anxiety or low mood, coping with the echoes of past experiences, or perhaps feeling a persistent sense of dissatisfaction or disconnection.
Sometimes, it's about wanting to understand yourself better, improve your relationships, or find new ways to manage stress.

Maybe you feel alone, lost, overwhelmed or disconnected. Maybe you want to talk about something specific: addictions, anxiety and depression, bereavements, abuse, trauma, relationship breakdown. Or, maybe you don’t know how you feel, but you just don't feel right. Whatever it is, we will explore together at your pace, either in my peaceful therapy room or online. I can help you to spot patterns of behaviour and to gain more self-awareness. This creates a greater sense of freedom and choice in your life, which can build stronger personal relationships, more self-compassion and lead to positive change.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
