Armed Forces Counselling in High Wycombe
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming — even when, from the outside, everything seems fine. You may be coping with loss, anxiety, trauma, or a sense of being stuck. My role is to offer a calm, confidential space where you can begin to explore what’s happening and gently make sense of it, at your own pace.
I’m an integrative therapist with extensive experience supporting adults through a wide range of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and bereavement. I’m also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a highly effective approach for those affected by trauma and PTSD.

Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I work with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, emetophobia (fear of vomiting), and trauma, often feeling stuck in anxiety, avoidance, or cycles that haven’t shifted despite previous therapy. Many come to me overwhelmed by food, fear, or the impact of past experiences and want more than short-term coping. With 20 years’ experience in mental health and specialist post-qualification training, I provide tailored, evidence-based therapy (CBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR) to target underlying patterns and help you move forward with greater confidence, flexibility, and lasting change.

Sometimes it's about coping strategies and supporting my clients through a tough time or loss, want to change something about how they feel, think or behave, many look to free themselves of the past whilst some aren't sure exactly what they need, they simply feel the struggle to be happy in their life or relationships.You'll find I'm patient and calm by nature, have a compassionate and mature approach to helping, intuitively sense some things are really tough to talk about and whilst I will help you with ideas and tools to reduce symptoms and which can also speed up meaningful change between sessions, note: you will get to direct, manage your own destiny. I have always seen my role as guiding my client to see difficulties you stuck and with my help how to overcome them. My aim is always for my clients to be able to leave feeling confident in knowing their own well being long term.

Taking the decision to seek therapy is daunting, but you're here because something is not right. Maybe you know what it is, maybe you're not sure. You may not be certain that you want to talk about it or it might be constantly at the front of your mind, but no-one's listening. You could also be confused about what therapy is or what type you think you might need. Imagine a safe, confidential space where you could talk without any fear of being judged and knowing that the person listening to you will always respond genuinely to you. This is what I will endeavour to offer you if you felt we could work together.

I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and a Doctor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy candidate at the University of Exeter. With over 25 years of clinical experience in the NHS (CAMHS) and private practice, I offer a sophisticated, relational approach to healing. My work is grounded in the belief that our present struggles—be they anxiety or relationship patterns—are often shaped by unconscious scripts. By decoding these deeper patterns, I help you find a sense of agency and lasting change. While my background includes social work and art therapy, my focus remains on the transformative power of the psychoanalytic relationship.

Together we can work towards positive change. Nobody knows you better than you, so you decide what issues we delve into together and I will provide a safe, confidential space.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.
