Hello and Welcome, Life can indeed be difficult at times. Many are struggling with mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings can rise to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a PHD(Hon), Master Degree and EMDR(Accredited), I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

As an Integrative Counsellor,Psychosexual & Relationship/Marriage therapist, I weave different therapies to support clients in their uniqueness to manage and heal from struggles that affect their emotional, and mental health & happiness. Ruptures in one's mental wellness can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, addiction, and sexual functioning/ identity concerns that hinder emotional self-esteem and ongoing happiness within and in our relationship with ourselves and others. Therapy is a gift on the journey of self-development..Is 2025 the year?

Every person has a story they tell themselves and other people. Sometimes these stories, or "scripts", are no longer helpful, and this is where therapy can help. Whether it is ADHD related, relationships that are under pressure or stress and anxiety about the world we live in. Together, we will discover what makes you ... well ... you and how, through compassionate, co-created therapy, you can integrate challenging parts of yourself. You matter, always.

I keep my fees low, because I am mindful of the current cost of living. My business is named NuVista (new view/Horizon) because it was born from my vision and indeed my own personal journey that counselling or talking therapy can give people a new view of life once they, with my help have explored and untangled the issues that are currently having a negative impact on your life or your work, your relationships or your family life, it could be your sexuality or even historical events that have been rendered unconscious or hidden and never spoken about. For me the goal or vision was to have a new outlook on life - a New View.

Therapy with me is a space for honest exploration. It’s a chance to increase awareness, find clarity, and reconnect with yourself. I believe that therapy is a deeply personal and collaborative process. We’ll work together to explore what’s going on for you, develop insight into patterns or difficulties, and support your growth and healing. My approach is relational, meaning I see our connection as central to the work. I’ll be alongside you as we explore your inner world, your relationships, and your sense of self. This might mean sitting with uncertainty or working with painful emotions, but also opens space for meaningful change.

Hi, Have you been struggling to work things out by yourself for a while? Then, perhaps I can help. I work primarily with adults, who feel anxious, depressed, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or their lives. Many of the people I support struggle with long-standing anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction, guilt, unresolved trauma, or a sense that they are repeating patterns they can’t seem to break. I offer a friendly, non-judgemental, and collaborative therapeutic space where we can identify, evaluate and explore what’s holding you back and work towards the meaningful change you are looking for.

I began my working life in the Armed Forces and have since worked across the public, private and charity sectors.
I specialise in relationship therapy for adults and young adults, supporting individuals and couples facing challenges in family life, work relationships, and experiences of loss. I work with the emotional impact of these difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and grief. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life or struggling with questions that feel difficult to answer alone, therapy can provide a supportive space to reflect, understand, and move forward.

I help high-performing professionals/entrepreneurs, they are often driven by logic and working in tech/finance/law/media/arts. I specialise in helping people develop a relationship with their body, and to understand the impact of their feelings and emotions on the body and vice versa. I often work with those with experience of living life on the edge, and/or complex, troubled relationships. I work well with people for whom talking about personal matters feels very difficult. I am not easily shocked and I also understand the need for taking things slowly and sensitively. My approach is kind, practical, down-to-earth and creative.

Seeking therapy can be a scary decision. I do believe however that the issues prompting you to come to me have the potential to enable you to move into a new level of self-understanding. A key principle of my particular therapy - Psychosynthesis, suggests that the symptoms of our problems can indicate a deeper meaning or potential trying to emerge in our lives. Our work together will try to discover what that might be. To achieve this I offer a focused approach for a specific issue in short-term work or we can go into more depth for work in the longer term.

I bring to my practice a deep understanding of high-stress environments, built on my own background in the Armed Forces and my work within corporate settings, including financial services and information technology.
Therapy is a process that benefits from consistency. While everyone’s needs are different, I generally ask clients to plan for at least 12 sessions to give us enough time to build trust and understand what’s really going on.

I charge £65 per session, and £50 for concession session fee for anyone in the armed forces, NHS and education (including spouses).
I work with a wide range of clients, those who are “wearing a mask”, facing adversity, struggling with past trauma, loss of agency, identity, or self-destructive patterns. They feel disconnected, reactive, and uncertain about their future. They need a structured approach to rebuild trust in themselves, regain control, and find meaning in navigating their suffering. Their goal is growth, not just recovery. They want clarity, resilience, and a sense of purpose because they refuse to be defined by their past. My therapy focuses on reintegrating the divided self, fostering agency, and helping clients transform pain into strength.
