With over 20 years experience, training and qualifications in working with children and young
adults
, I am familiar with the challenges and difficulties that these age groups may have.
People come to therapy for many different reasons and you don’t have to be in a crisis. Therapy can involve talking about emotions, difficult events and/or relationships, it can also be about behaviour change or dealing with negative thoughts. When describing the way I work, I often say, it is like two people going for a walk, along the walk, you may notice things and I, may notice things and together we bring these observations into awareness, to explore and process them. Yes counselling can be challenging, only with that challenge, from my experience it can also bring great rewards.

) no judgement and assumption, if you need to talk of anxiety, abuse, lose of self, lowself-esteem or you dont know of your character, there are times in our life that we need to confined-in because we are human being, so using life experiences and knowledges of sophisticated people whom they spent their life to take the knowledge and give it to others for a better life, and what ever is concerning you or to whom it may concern.

I help
adults
to improve their lives by co-creating with them an intimate, vulnerable, connected and healthy therapeutic relationship.
Do you feel like you're struggling with something that you feel uncomfortable about opening up to with friends or family? Struggling with your relationships? Sad or angry a lot of the time? Anxious so often you feel like you can't enjoy your experiences? Feeling stuck- having no motivation to do the things that you wish you were doing? Feeling doubts about how you're choosing to spend your time- your life? Feeling like you don't know yourself and you'd like someone to help you to explore your sense of identity? Or perhaps you've experienced traumas in your life that so far you've kept to yourself and now feel ready to share?

Most people experience personal difficulties at some stage in our lives. It is quite normal and understandable to struggle with such issues, and to need some help and support during these times.

I specialise in working with
adults
on the impact of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, working holistically & creatively to help you break free of the patterns that past trauma can create. I understand that these painful experiences can often lead to feeling lost and disconnected, which can impact on how we feel about ourselves, our relationships and the world around us. You may feel stuck or unable to move on from past events, perhaps noticing patterns in your relationships or behaviour. Feelings of shame & perfectionism can be a barrier to asking for help and it may be difficult to express yourself with words alone.

Has the time come for you to consider change? Are you ready to take that step? Perhaps you've been affected by a loss, or lifestyle changes which are hard to accept.

Many of us find ourselves struggling to cope with past or current traumatic events, depression, work related stress, loss, relationship issues and various setbacks in life. It can feel very overwhelming if we mask our feelings and try to battle through alone. Perhaps you always put other peoples needs first and want to learn how to have your own needs met. You may have difficulties in your relationships and want to understand why unhealthy patterns of relating keep repeating themselves. Problems in our childhood such as abuse and neglect can rob our self esteem and confidence as
adults
. Counselling can help with many of these issues

I am a Principal Health Psychologist in the NHS who works with young

through to older people. At the moment, people are struggling with the changes in our society; the cost of living crisis is having a big impact on people and so is the decline in support for physical and mental health. Waiting lists are increasing and this is resulting in people dealing with hard things for longer. I would like to help you get back to the life you want to live and support you to live well despite what is going on for you at this point in time.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
