You may be successful but your worries and tendency to go over worst case scenarios in your head are so hard to control. Perhaps your anxiety is making it difficult for you to sleep well, relax, causing problems in your relationships, or bringing on panic attacks. You may have been coping by trying to block the worries out or avoid the situations that trigger your anxiety, but this is only making it harder for you to be present in your life and relationships the way you want to be. I'm here to help and let you know that you can learn to live life in the moment and learn to trust in your coping skills again.

Living with a long-term chronic illness can be incredibly isolating and challenging. I know firsthand how much these conditions affect not just your physical health, but also your emotional and psychological well-being. The fatigue, brain fog, pain, and other debilitating symptoms you experience are real and valid. Yet, as with many chronic illnesses, the emotional toll is often overlooked. There can be sadness or depression from the loss of activities, social connections, or a career that once gave you a sense of purpose. You might be overwhelmed by anxiety about how unpredictable symptoms can be, or worried about the future.

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.
As an integrative practitioner, I can provide you with a space to meet your needs using trauma-focussed approach to help you process historical experiences. The first few sessions will focus on safety and stability, before moving onto work with memories from the past. I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure they get what they need from therapy.

Many of the people I work with are managing well on the outside, holding down jobs, caring for others, keeping things together. But underneath, they're anxious, hard on themselves, and often feel low, numb, or unable to enjoy things in the way they used to. Therapy offers a space to understand what has shaped your experience and how you might respond to life differently. I don't offer a fixed programme, rather I work with you as an individual and adjust my approach depending on what you bring.

My therapeutic approach integrates Person Centred Approach, CBT, Psychodynamic Approach and Mindfulness.
Do you sometimes feel invisible or like an outsider, as if you don't belong? Does life feel like an uphill battle most of the time? Do you feel exhausted, desperate or overwhelmed? Our upbringing, cultural background or significant life events can affect the way we view ourselves and how we respond to our world. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed by our own self limiting beliefs and destructive patterns. Counselling provides a safe space for you to be heard and be accepted. This is a therapeutic relationship where you are supported to understand yourself and empowers you to choose the path which will help you to flourish.

I help those who seek clarity about their situation, through discussion of the challenges. Viewing issues from multiple perspectives, including evidence based models helps you to get things more in perspective, more malleable, and more manageable. I see to your needs & provide resources as you transition, while we face issues together, & grow your capacity to journey beyond me. This may involve an exploration of the past, or practical focus on here & now strategies & approaches, which influence the map of your life journey you are carving.

My approach is trauma informed including EMDR, mindfulness, CBT and motivational interviewing in a person centered way.
I work in a collaborative way with clients who present with unaddressed trauma, relational problems, anxiety, depression, low mood and a feeling of hopelessness. I have a special interest in trauma, attachment issues and addiction. Many of my clients identify with feeling stuck in their current situation or wanting to be more self aware and connected with themselves. Identifying their mind-body connection enables the client to recognise triggers and self-regulate rather than rely upon external resources or behaviours.
