I have spaces available during the week (not weekends) I work both online via zoom and in person at my home.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to check me out. I’ve got over 20 years experience helping clients. My background ranges from supporting clients with a wide range of challenges, where we work towards meeting goals for lasting change. Breaking unhealthy patterns of thinking and behaviour needs awareness as to why we do as we do. Most people at one point in their lives recognises the need for insight, support with understanding and empathy to help make sense of ones internal world. Through our relationship healing occurs, with trust and empathy at the core, giving you a safe space to explore pain, and find peace.

I offer both short term Counselling and Psychotherapy to Adults and Young Adults/Students either in-person and online.
If you are looking for emotional support in a caring environment where you can feel heard and valued, I am able to offer this to you as part of my therapeutic services. Perhaps you have been experiencing ongoing concerns and require professional support; perhaps something is "missing" from your life or you have feelings of "emptiness"...whatever your concern may be, I am sure we can explore what may be going on for you right now.

It was Mr Miyagi in the movie “The Karate Kid” who said, “You know, but you do not understand.” We are often aware of the feelings and thoughts we are having, the behaviours they are causing and the distress that can generate. We can even know the traumas that have happened that we can attribute them to. But we can’t understand or articulate them enough to change them and heal. Perhaps this is the way you feel? Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety, depression or both for some time and everyday life is more challenging than you want it to be? Maybe you’ve experienced a traumatic event that you can’t seem to get over?

I am a trauma-informed psychotherapist and offer face-to-face or online therapy.
Does life feel scattered, making the simplest tasks overwhelming? Are you disconnecting from others, longing for connection, but feeling safer alone? Do anxious thoughts keep you up at night, leaving you restless? Maybe you're weighed down by stress or the effects of past experiences or current life challenges (relationship struggles, work stress, burnout, big transitions, trauma, or ADHD diagnosis). All of it can leave us feeling stuck and disconnected. These feelings can be further shaped by cultural or identity-related pressures, adding layers of complexity to our struggles. If this resonates with you, know you're not alone.

I am working face-to-face again, and also online, using Zoom, Skype and FaceTime.
​Life is full of challenges. At times we cope well, but at other times we need help, and talking to family members and friends can be difficult. At points like this, talking confidentially in a safe space to a professional counsellor can make a real difference. Through a warm and supportive relationship, we will explore any difficulties you are having in your life right now. We will also look back into your past, to try to understand patterns of behaviour that might not be quite so effective for you today. By exploring feelings and experiences and building self-awareness, we will work together to move towards a positive change.

Therapy is a space for you: to feel understood and listened to. Perhaps for the first time. And it is through this fundamental encounter that you can feel more able and alive. Our work together can support you in making a change, reflecting on painful experience, bearing a loss, finding a purpose. It can support you in these - and more - through creating new awareness, making helpful connections and finding a way forward. Therapy provides a way for you to understand, confront, resolve, heal and grow. I provide a safe, welcoming space for you to explore whatever it is that you need and want. In confidence and without judgement.

After the first contact I will suggest we have a short phone or video call (free) or a full in-person consultation (charged at full fee) to discuss your concerns and whether I can help you.
I am a BACP accredited, experienced integrative therapist offering weekly one-to-one counselling sessions. My style is empathic and sensitive, responsive to what each person brings to the session. Rather than fixing what's wrong, we would try to achieve deeper understanding, more agency and intentionality in relation to your concern. In my view, the most powerful tool for change and healing is staying with experience which underpins everything that happens in therapy. I maintain ongoing regular mindfulness practice and bring this into sessions as a reliable way of reconnecting with our source of aliveness and deep knowing.

It takes courage to seek support, therefore I offer a confidential space where you can safely explore the particular situation you find yourself in. This may mean you come with a specific problem, anxiety, crisis or perhaps a vaguer sense that something doesn't feel quite right for you. Everyday life does not always leave room for reflection or questioning, therefore carving out a regular space to wonder, alongside another person about yourself, can be a powerful way to uncover how past experiences and relationships may have impacted the way things are now, whilst identifying how you would like things to be in the future.

Depending on what you would like to address you might chose to have short-term (6-20 sessions) or more open ended and in-depth therapy (20+). Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and weekly. I would recommend meeting initially to talk about what brings you for help at this time and for you to see how you feel talking to me. I usually review after six sessions when we can discuss whether we will carry on or not. I have worked for 20 years as an Integrative Humanistic and Relational counsellor and psychotherapist in a lovely variety of settings and and with people seeking therapy for many different issues.

I also work with adult ADHD - whether you’re just curious about whether you might have ADHD through to those diagnosed and seeking help and clarity around what that means for them.

Online Counsellors

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
