Please contact me via email as a first port of call so we can arrange a telephone call. Are experiences from your past currently limiting your present and your future? Are you struggling to achieve your potential due to the constant management of anxiety, depression, stress and relational difficulties? I integrate approaches such as EMDR, mindfulness, sensorimotor or body-based work and psychoeducation to help my clients better understand where their difficulties have come from, how to manage and reduce symptoms and finally to process the trauma they are carrying from the past. If this sounds like it could help you, please read on.

I see clients in-person in a warm, comfortable therapy space in Leeds city centre (NB there are stairs and there is no disability access).
Are you someone who has struggled to find a genuinely safe, understanding and inclusive therapeutic or reflective space? Or have not yet found a professional who actually demonstrates having the expertise they tell you about? Are you still on the fence about taking that step forward? I understand.

In this fast moving, ever-changing and demanding world it can feel difficult to keep your head above water. No matter how hard you try you don't seem to be able to stay afloat. It's hard to know what to do, where to go or who to turn to during these times, and are often left feeling lost and alone. You may even understand whats troubling you but are no closer to a resolve and if anything it just makes it all more challenging. Therapy is a space in which you can explore all of these things safely and with compassionate support to help you find peace and bring some balance to your life.

Understanding yourself is about understanding your choices. Talking Therapy can help understand the choices available. In my experience, Talking Therapy offers you a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, with no judgement or expectations. It opens up the potential for inner growth, development and change. Although accessing Talking Therapy can be emotionally challenging, my aim is to work with you to provide the opportunity to work through your life events at your own pace and find your own answers.

I offer therapy online and in person at Margaret House, Roundhay, Leeds
People seek therapy for many different reasons. It might be that you don’t feel happy, or you’re anxious or low and want to make changes in your life but you’re not sure how. Patterns of behaviour that you developed a long time ago may now feel frustrating and unhelpful. Therapy can help you to better gain a better awareness and understanding of these patterns and, when necessary, challenge them and how you perceive yourself. This awareness can also help you to become a more authentic and resilient version of yourself.

I work face to face and online.
I work with my clients to find the best way forward. This means I taylor my modalities to your need. Maybe CBT might be best, or Transactional Analysis or Gestalt or Person Centred or a mixture of them with life coaching or hypnosis. Counselling is about change and sometimes that may require homework too.

Like me, my client base has been gloriously eclectic. I have extensive experience of working with many types of loss. Grief is painful no matter whether it's as a result of a relationship breakup, loosing touch with parts of yourself. Slowly painfully loosing a loved one to Alzheimers/Dementia, being a carer for a child with an eating disorder. I regularly work with clients who have been in some way affected by a Brain Tumour. Interestingly Anger and Rage is something i have worked with regularly in the last 4 years. If you or your partner are neurodivergent I can help you find collaborative ways of communicating together.

At some point in our lives we all need additional support to deal with personal issues and problems that affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Starting counselling can be difficult, however it is the first step to the support and guidance you need. As a client centered therapist I work on the concept that every client is an individual. I will work with you to improve the way you are thinking and feeling.
