I'm here to help you feel content as you, allowing you to comfortably move forward, while understanding your world view. I will provide you with the space, time and acceptance, using an integrative approach - tailoring the therapy to my client's needs, and not the client to one specific approach. I am fully qualified and experienced in both short-term and long-term face-to-face therapy. I create a good therapeutic relationship with every client, normalising individuality in a comfortable space in the heart of Leeds or Bradford city centre (near station). I work in a completely confidential, non-judgemental, fair and equal manner.

Often our anxieties and difficulties can weigh us down and we are unable to find a way forward. Perhaps we experience intrusive anxious thoughts or our inner critic is just too loud and holds us back. Maybe we keep repeating the same unhelpful behaviour again and again. Or perhaps past trauma feels too present and we are still experiencing its physical and emotional impact and the way it makes us behave. Our thoughts and feelings can be confusing and talking to friends and relatives may be too difficult. I provide a safe, respectful space in which you can explore your difficulties, gain insight and discover a way forward.

There are times when holding everything together starts to feel exhausting. You might be managing family expectations, navigating difficult relationships, or carrying emotions that don’t seem to settle—while on the outside, it looks like you’re coping. Over time, this can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of where you stand in your own life. Therapy offers a space to step out of those patterns, understand yourself more deeply, and begin to relate to your experiences in a way that feels more manageable and less isolating.

Hello and thank you for visiting my page. My name is Fernie. I work with clients who may be struggling with the heavy weight of anxiety, the isolating grief of infertility and baby loss or the quiet exhaustion of navigating life as a person with neurodivergence, or are you a parent/carer helplessly trying to offer support. Perhaps you have spent your life feeling like you are "too much" or "not enough" constantly trying to adjust to fit in. I will provide a safe, non judgmental space where the mask can finally come off, allowing you to explore these thoughts and feelings with a therapist who truly gets it.

I work with clients on any issue at all such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, relationship issues, trauma, eating issues, sleep problems, addiction, anger and low self esteem.
Are you struggling with everyday life at the moment, or are you not feeling yourself? Do you have lots of thoughts going round your head and you don’t know what to do about them? Taking some time out to talk to an experienced therapist can really help. Together we can explore your feelings and worries, better understand where they come from and also figure out what changes you could make to help you feel happier. I aim to listen and be truly alongside you throughout the sessions as you talk about anything that you want to bring – be it experiences from the past, things that are happening now, or concerns for the future.
