Welcome to my profile. I am a BACP senior accredited psychotherapist. I have worked in mental health for over 20 years, qualifying as an integrative counsellor in 2004, and am experienced in working with children and adults for a wide range and depth of issues. I work from a humanistic perspective which provides a foundation for me to work with you using a combination of therapeutic approaches such as CBT and mindfulness that are best suited to individual requirements and the issues that you would like to work through. I work confidently and from an empathic, gentle yet focused heartspace in both long and short term frameworks.

Dealing with difficult emotions can feel overwhelming and scary. Are you feeling anxious or stressed, or feel like you are trapped in a situation that you see no way out from? Whether it's your relationships, feelings about yourself or the world around you, seeking counselling can be the first steps to empowering yourself to make positive changes in your life. With the world feeling so precarious right now, and our lives being turned upside down, it can feel like the control you once had has now been taken away. Traumatic, upsetting experiences can all lead to adverse mental health.

I offer individual therapy sessions for children and young adults in a safe, confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental therapeutic space. I am a warm and thoughtful qualified Art psychotherapist with the aim to help you to express and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences which can then begin to be processed. Working holistically, we will use both talking and creative therapeutic approaches including story, art making, drama and movement. There are no expectations for you to be experienced in any of these disciplines but they can be another avenue by which to express your feelings when words are too difficult.

When we experience difficulties in our life that are getting in the way, or if we are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected, counselling offers a quiet, non-judgemental safe space for us to work through painful thoughts, feelings and emotions. Embarking on counselling can allow us the opportunity to begin to explore the issues and concerns that are important to us, and begin to gain a better understanding so we can move forward.
