As a person-centred counsellor, I uphold the belief that individuals possess the inherent capacity for growth, healing, and self-understanding when placed in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. I maintain that healing is facilitated through understanding, self-acceptance, and meaningful support. By incorporating an integrated approach such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, I assist clients in processing their emotions, developing healthy coping strategies, and reclaiming control over their lives.

Sometimes children and young people can behave in ways that are difficult to understand. As their parents/carers, we can feel confused as to what might be happening for our child and how we can best help them. Your child might be behaving in ways that frighten you (e.g. violent outbursts or self-harming behaviours) or in other ways that concern you (e.g. increasingly anxious or withdrawn behaviour, refusing school etc.). You may have attended parenting courses, read books or spoken to friends/family, but still feel at a loss as to what to do to help your child and how to feel connected to them again. Now is the time to seek help.

To begin counselling can be a life-changing decision. You may want to address thoughts and feelings or specific challenges that can be hard to speak to others about, or perhaps made a decision to address the impact of past trauma, loss or shame. By sharing your story and emotional journey within the therapeutic space, it can be heard in a new way, as though for the first time. In this way, different narratives can be explored, allowing you to take greater ownership of your life and your future.

Life can be really hard sometimes, difficult things happen or people struggle emotionally for a variety of reasons. Lots of people need support at some time in their lives for themselves or people they care for. I genuinely believe that most people who are struggling want to improve their situation and need support to enable them to be and feel the best they can. However, just because you did not cause all your problems does not mean you do not have to work to try to make things better. That is where I can help, providing support, therapy and specialist assessment for young people and adults.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and highly self-aware, yet remain caught in patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, pressure, and self-doubt. They may understand why they feel stuck but still struggle to translate insight into meaningful change. Therapy can help uncover what keeps these patterns in place and create a clearer path towards living with greater confidence, flexibility, and purpose.

My goal as a therapist is to help you explore the emotional questions in your life so you can understand, with greater clarity, why you feel like you do. My practice offers a non-judgemental, confidential setting to reflect on what has brought you to this point in your life, and to consider your potential to live differently in the future. Coming from a background in the arts I pay close attention to the narratives we build and the disguises we assume to protect ourselves from pain. Understanding how these patterns are formed can help you decide which aspects of your life you want to hold onto, and which you would rather let go.

I am a chartered psychologist drawing on eastern philosophies, compassion focused practices and evidence based psychology to help clients fully understand experiences, to create dialogue and compassion for all the different emotions, thoughts, behaviours, impulses experienced. Living as a human can be confusing, complex and lonely and through my work I help clients to create more clarity and to develop ways of offering kindness to painful experience. I draw on talking, role plays, meditations, visualisations and other practices that might help get to know experiences in more depth.

Have you recently been through a loss of any kind? Perhaps it was someone you were close to? Or maybe your health has taken a turn for the worse? Perhaps you have split up with your partner? Or are you trying to cope with an unexpected change but find yourself struggling? Are you asking yourself why is my life so hard? Why can’t things just get back to being “normal?” Loss of any kind and change of any kind can come out of the blue and can turn your life upside down. Are you needing to talk to someone about how you are really feeling?

Do your relationships feel like they are broken and you can’ t seem to find a way to repair them? It could be that you feel you can’t form relationships at all or that if you do, they always seem to break, or something goes wrong. Maybe something traumatic from your childhood still hurts, like a bad toothache that never goes away. Perhaps you just don’t feel good enough about yourself and if only you could feel better, then your relationships would be too. Do you need someone who you can trust, who you feel safe with and who you feel you can share anything in confidence?

As a highly experienced psychoanalytic/psychodynamic Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist I work with sensitivity, adapting to need and nurturing trust to support exploration of personal experience, future goals and aspirations. Bringing appropriately paced awareness to underlying thoughts and feelings can support understanding and integration of previously unrecognised aspects of self, and over time the growth of authenticity, emotional wellbeing, and more fulfilling ways of living and relating. I work with ages from 5-25. I provide supervision to other psychotherapists and counsellors.
