Do you have emotional or psychological issues that have been holding you back, maybe for longer than you care to remember? Do you wish to take back control of your life? If the answer is 'yes' this can be your future. I offer a non invasive solution based modality in a calm, safe and secure environment. I also offer a more conventional integrative counselling too, having been very fortunate to learn from someone with 25 years experience in the field, of what works and what doesn't. My own work and personal experience have confirmed this and I wish to share my knowledge and success with you. Feel free to call and find out more.

Hello, and welcome. I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist. For 25 years I have mainly worked with children and teenagers, but I also welcome working with adults. It can be difficult to understand our own emotions, especially if we are young, but working with a therapist can enable us to develop an emotional vocabulary and begin to understand our feelings and how they are preventing our wellbeing. Often we become overwhelmed and end up suppressing our emotions until eventually they become too difficult. Therapy provides a safe space to explore these feelings and build communication skills and emotional resilience.

I help clients explore what’s keeping them stuck, understand patterns, and build practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, low mood, stress, burnout, and relationship difficulties.
If you are looking for a therapist who values your individuality and works alongside you, I can offer a calm and supportive space where you can begin that work. I believe meaningful change happens when therapy feels safe, caring, and personal. We can work together at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on what matters most in your life rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to listen with warmth and curiosity, and to help you make sense of what you are experiencing while supporting you to move forward in ways that feel manageable and lasting.

I have lectured on the treatment of Phobias for EMDR East Anglia of which I am the regional chair person.
Entering therapy can feel like a like an emotionally challenging and daunting step. Perhaps, at first full of unknowns and uncertainties. If you choose to work with me I offer a compassionate and reassuring approach. In this approach, where required I offer information to help you further understand your current difficulties. From that together we can explore a way forward. Strong feelings, unwanted behaviours, infringing thoughts and firmly held unhelpful belief systems can hinder our satisfaction, contentment and plans. EMDR is a proven approach that can alleviate such symptoms.

Is anxiety and overthinking taking over your life?
I have chosen to specialise in working with neurodivergent clients because of my own lived experience, due to witnessing the challenges that can come with living in a world that is not always understanding or accepting of neurodivergent minds. The key to therapy is the client/therapist relationship, that’s why it is so important to find a good match for you.

My particular interest lies in guiding and encouraging people towards self-actualization and the integration of their fullest potential in whatever sphere of life they are engaged. This process may be seen as a journey, which we share together for at time and requires only ‘the willingness and the courage to be’. To participate joyfully in life is the goal at the heart of psychosynthesis therapy and coaching – and its achievement often comes in unexpected ways. We focus on developing your potential at all levels of being - body, feelings, mind and spirit - and on your deeper centre of identity as the source of true relationship.

Depression, anxiety, sadness and anger can weigh us down in a world of overstimulation.
When life is a challenge and we feel alone or unsupported, it is my belief that we can all find our 'place of peace'. Sometimes we simply need to connect with the 'right person' for a period of time to re-align our thoughts and feelings. If we can calm our inner self we can give ourselves an opportunity to navigate an alternative pathway to the one that we have found ourselves to be on.

I am a BACP Accredited Person-Centred Practitioner and Supervisor with more than 20 years experience and 20,000 hours of clinical practice. When we are thinking about accessing counselling therapy, it can be tricky to know how to proceed especially if we have had a poor prior experience or if this is a new venture. Practitioners need to be mindful that each person is an individual snd need to feel valued as such if they are to find - through therapy - what it is they would like to achieve for themselves. It can be difficult to know what we may want from this process but, often having such a want is enough to spur us on.
