Suicidal Ideation Counselling in Leeds
I have particular experience working with issues of identity (including neurodiversity, queerness, class, and values), self-harm and suicide, anxiety, depression, loss, as well as exploring different ways to live and be ourselves.
I provide a space to be seen and heard, somewhere for you to bring your issues, from day-to-day to life-spanning, where we would then work through them together, at your own pace, with openness, understanding, and warmth.
I integrate different therapeutic models and hold your autonomy at the core of our work, so we will together create a unique therapeutic experience for you.
I offer a calm, inclusive space and we'll each bring our life experiences, and expertise, and together we'll work towards your aims for therapy.

You might look as though you are coping well on the outside, yet privately feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. Perhaps you overthink conversations long after they have ended, question whether you are too much or not enough, or find yourself working hard to keep others happy while neglecting your own needs. You may appear capable and successful, yet struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen or misunderstood. Together, we can begin to understand how these relationship patterns originally formed and how you can start to respond differently.

I work with adults who feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in life. Many clients come to me experiencing burnout, low self-esteem, overthinking, or a sense of disconnection from themselves or others. Some are navigating ADHD/autistic traits (diagnosed or not), while others simply feel life has become heavy or difficult to manage.
People often seek therapy when they feel they are “coping” on the outside but struggling internally, unsure how to move forward or break out of repeated patterns. In our work together, we slow things down, explore what’s underneath these experiences, and begin to understand what’s keeping things

Are your thoughts, feelings, or past experiences starting to weigh on you? You might be feeling ready for something to shift. Sometimes, the ways we’ve learned to cope can begin to hold us back from living the life we want.

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.

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.

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.

People come to psychoanalytically informed therapy for many reasons—depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, shame, or low self-esteem. What these struggles often have in common is that they have been present for some time and, despite our best efforts, do not improve when we try to manage them alone. This can leave us feeling stuck and isolated, with symptoms and frustrations that gradually intensify.
The aim of this therapy is not only to alleviate conscious symptoms, but also to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of the underlying emotional life that shapes our relationships and our feelings.

As a BABCP-accredited CBT and EMDR therapist with 15+ years experience supporting mental health (and more than a decade in the NHS), I provide a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work through things together at your own pace.
Maybe you're dealing with stress, anxiety, or a low mood that won't lift. Perhaps the demands of daily life are piling up or experiences from the past just can't be put to rest. It might even be hard to put into words - you just know that something needs to change, and you're ready for things to feel easier.
Whatever you're going through, you don't have to figure it out alone.

As an integrative counsellor, I will help you work through whatever issues you bring to our shared space, using the most appropriate therapeutic approach. I recognise that what works for one person might not work for another, and no two people feel the same about what might appear to be a similar ‘thing’ on the outside. After all, you are the expert on you. You have taken the first step, by recognising that you need some help. My practice is called Elpis Therapy - indicating something we all need at times of emotional distress: ‘hope’.

Therapy can help you find your way back to yourself.
