I help people find their way to feeling happier, more confident and comfortable in their own skin. Clients come to me because something isn’t working for them, and they want to change that. I'm warm and approachable, and can help if you want to feel more connected with yourself, or to improve your relationships - be they romantic, sexual, platonic or familial. Having a space to explore what’s happening for you and to look at things from new angles can enable you to understand yourself and others better, leading to improved communication and relationships and greater trust in yourself, your judgement and your abilities.

Bupa approved therapy is settled by me directly.
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.

Extreme trauma exists in PTSD but in some way all of us experience trauma from the school bully to the manager who does not listen. We all have states of anxiety and depression. What is a normal state and how do we know if we are heading for a breakdown. What is a balanced happy life? We can have control of some things in our life and other things come along and smack us in the face. What therapy with me does is give you a space for observation without personal judgement or criticism , questions from me so that I understand your motivations and help shape your goals. Sometimes your answers are in the past, often in the present.

You may appear composed and successful, yet beneath the surface feel an unrelenting pressure, cycles of stress, burnout, or emotion that no longer respond to willpower or routine solutions. Perhaps you’ve achieved much, yet something vital still feels unresolved. You may have tried therapy before, only to find it didn’t reach the depth you needed. I work with individuals who value insight, precision, and meaningful change. My specialisms include trauma therapy, EMDR, executive therapy, and addiction recovery.

I show up as me, hopefully someone you can relate to and feel comfortable with. I will never leave you lost, sitting in silence and feeling analysed.

People who are keen to re-orientate their lives in the direction of their values - towards what gives them a sense of meaning and purpose. Having a clearer idea of what really matters helps people motivate themselves - even to the extent of accepting the difficulties it may entail - to either change or persist - in behaviours that will move them in their valued directions. Typically, this approach can be powerfully effective in dealing with the pervasive problems of stress, anxiety and depression and other chronic issues where rigid patterns of avoidant behaviour have developed.
