My clients often struggle with unprocessed trauma, intertwined with shame, guilt, anxiety and depression. They need a safe space to explore trauma without judgment, develop healthy coping strategies, and process shame to rebuild self-worth. They want to break free from destructive cycles, feel worthy of love, rebuild relationships, and find purpose. They seek transformation - not just symptom management but fundamental healing to reclaim their life beyond addiction, lived experience and/or any related pain, grief, loss, shame, anxiety, depression or anger.

Welcome, I am Lee, I can offer you a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about your thoughts and feelings. I work with clients for short or longer term counselling/therapy. We will work collaboratively to identify the areas of your life that are troubling or distressing and agree the focus of therapy together. Many people come to therapy simply to learn more about themselves and understand the effect of past distressing experiences. I hope therapy will bring you greater awareness, spontaneity and increased intimacy.

You’ve already done the hard part by being here. Now let’s talk about what working with me really looks like. I am a relational, solution-focused therapist this means  I actively work with you to create meaningful change. Much of my work focuses on anxiety, LGBTQIA+, childhood trauma and attachment, and how those early experiences continue to shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self today.  Therapy with me isn’t about endless circling or sticking plasters. It’s about uncovering what’s really going on, making sense of it together, and building practical, lasting strategies so you can move forward with confidence.

Are you someone who looks like they’re coping on the outside, but inside things feel harder than they should. Anxiety, past experiences, or self-doubt can quietly shape how you think, feel, and respond, even when you’re trying your best to move forward. I offer a space where we can slow things down and make sense of what’s happening, without judgement or pressure. From there, we begin to work through it. Using approaches such as CBT, EMDR & counselling, the aim isn’t just to talk, but to help you experience change in how you feel, think, and respond so life begins to feel more manageable and more like your own again.

Psychotherapist, MA, HCPC-Drama Therap.
Is it difficult for yourself to connect to your emotions and feelings? Sometimes it is complicated to find a link to enable us express freely. Unintentionally, we can create a habit in which we suppress, run away, deny or manipulate our emotions. It is normal to try to push away feelings of discomfort like stress, fear or pain; but there are tools you can learn to help you cope with these emotions in a healthy way. Instead of denying, distracting yourself, manipulating or disconnecting, you can accept, observe, acknowledge and connect deeply with your feelings.

I am an experienced therapist and supervisor. As a therapist, I hold a warm, inclusive space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.

I charge £65 per session, and £50 for concession session fee for anyone in the armed forces, NHS and education (including spouses).
I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.

From time to time we all struggle. Our thoughts can become jumbled and life seems difficult and sometimes even unbearable. Sometimes we can behave in ways we don't truly understand. In therapy we can explore your struggles be they old or new and look to identify the roots of your pain.

My area of special interest is working with Serving & Ex-Members of the Emergency Services, Prison Service, Journalists and Military with regards to Trauma & mid-life.
I mainly work with men under pressure who may look capable and composed on the outside, but privately know something is not right. Many are in high-pressure roles or lead demanding lives, and are used to being the one others rely on. They often come to counselling when stress, burnout, trauma, anxiety, emotional shutdown, shame, or strain in their relationships has started to catch up with them.

If you are suffering from symptoms related to PTSD or complex PTSD, EMDR therapy can help to alleviate your symptoms. Clients working with me using EMDR have found that their symptoms such as flashbacks and/or being unable to go to certain places can be alleviated or reduced to the point where they are manageable. This work is supported with self help techniques to manage new anxieties as and when they may present themselves, but from a new and more adaptive perspective. I also offer the Safe and Sound Protocol alongside therapy sessions for those clients who wish to work in a polyvagal informed way.
