You've reached this page for many reasons, from being diagnosed with a mental health problem to feeling stuck and unable to progress in particular areas of life. I work from the premise that you are an active participant in therapy and hold choice and responsibility in how you want to move forward, whether this includes making sense of, accepting and processing things that have happened to you, or developing existing skills and building new strategies to cope with life's challenges.

I believe psychology can improve everyone's quality of life. ​ My aim is to work in a collaborative, compassionate way to help reduce distress, develop your ability to manage any ongoing difficulties and help you develop a more meaningful and valued life. As a Clinical Psychologist, I use evidence-based treatments and draw on the recommendations of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE guidelines). Put simply our sessions will aim to reduce unhappiness or dysfunction, and increase your ability to cope and sense of fulfilment. ​

I am a psychologist skilled in counselling psychotherapy and coaching. I have over 15 years of experience working with people in the public and private sector. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I teach techniques to better manage everyday emotional stress. I support clients needing help with their lives whether it is personally focused, career focused, relating to a specific issue or just needing a safe space to externalise. Member of the British Psychological Society, the Association of Business Psychologists and a qualified CBT therapist.

There are many reasons why individuals choose to access therapy and it can be a daunting, sometimes painful, step. Please be assured that, with over a decade of experience, I offer an even-handed yet supportive approach in a safe, confidential setting. If you are feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you, are struggling to manage feelings of anxiety, are managing your distress through strategies such as alcohol, illegal substances, or self-harming behaviours, have experienced a trauma, or witnessed a traumatic event, I can help.

I have over 10 years experience in supporting individual adults and couples. I know the first step can feel daunting, which is why I offer a safe, warm and relaxed space for us to work together. Counselling is a very individual process, and everything I do will be centred around you. We will go at your pace so I can make sure your needs are met, in order to help you enhance your life and enable you to live it more fully.

I work with people who are struggling to manage a range of issues - including anxiety, stress, depression, phobias, OCD, grief, trauma, relationship issues, bi-polar disorder, hoarding issues. I offer a non-judgemental, warm, safe space to think about the main issue troubling you at the moment, how it may be effecting your mood, your relationships, your day to day activities. We will also think about strengths you have and how you can build on these to develop more useful and helpful coping strategies.

I have been a qualified counsellor since 1999 and have been described by my clients as, authentic, warm, open and supportive. My aim is to help you deepen awareness of your unique pattern of thinking, feeling and behaving in an environment where you can feel supported and understood. This process provides you with greater insight and offers the potential for you to make informed choices, improve personal and or professional relationships and reap the benefits of living a more fulfilling life.

Hello, and welcome to my profile. Making the decision to see a counsellor can take an immense amount of courage - acknowledging that you may need some help in talking through and making sense of some of the feelings causing you pain can feel a big step. There may be events, or even moments, that leave you fighting for breath. Feelings of shame or failure that you cannot seem to shift, or a sense of dread and foreboding, making everyday life a struggle. Perhaps the death of a loved one, conflict with family or friends, or a significant life change such as divorce or redundancy has caused you to feel off balance.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC and a CBT therapist registered with the BABCP. I provide a variety of interventions including EMDR therapy for trauma, CBT for anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience from the NHS and private practise in making sense of presenting problems and agreeing a targeted treatments plan. I have attended extensive supervision training in variety of modalities. I'm an accredited Emdr Consultant Supervisor and provide supervision to professionals and services.

We can all find life hard at times. It can throw up difficulties that feel overwhelming and out of our control. I support adults and teenagers through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship issues and Asperger Syndrome. When we experience distress, sadness, loneliness, anxiety or depressed mood, it can feel difficult to bear and leave us feeling powerless. Working alongside a therapist means you need not face these difficulties alone.

Are you weighed down by anxiety or depression? Perhaps you are going through fertility treatment and you feel an overwhelming mix of emotions - including hope and fear - and you're holding it all together - lots of spinning plates - it feels too much to carry at times. Have you given birth and the birth was difficult and you know that you need to process what happened to you, but at the same time you push the memory away so that you can get through the day - perhaps your body is different, now, since you gave birth? Perhaps you have scars, stretch marks, loose skin, a prolapse? Are you feeling lost and unsure of who you are?

Life can feel overwhelming at times, particularly with the current economic and environmental uncertainty. Anxiety, depression and loneliness are common issues many people face on top of relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, and trauma. Therapy offers the chance to talk about what is bothering you in a warm, empathic and confidential space. I am a registered psychodynamic psychotherapist with the BPC & BACP and have found that by giving someone the space to talk and reflect on how they feel, and where those feelings come from, enables them to understand themselves better.

As a Clinical Psychologist I am trained in a range of therapeutic models. My approach is integrative and person-centered; I might use elements from a range of models according to the difficulties that an individual is experiencing at any given time. This may include CBT, Compassion Focussed Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy and green therapy ideas. I specialise in working with adults and see clients aged 18y+.

Are you feeling anxious, low mood, feel overwhelmed or maybe are finding it difficult to cope? I am a qualified, experienced counsellor offering a calm, safe, confidential space to explore life challenges or trauma from the past, in your current life or anxieties/concerns around the future.

Every client is unique presenting with different struggles and challenges so I tailor my approach to my clients needs to strive for their goals.
