I welcome the messy, confusing and contradictory parts of being human and believe that when someone feels genuinely heard, they begin to hear themselves more clearly too. What matters most to me is creating a relationship where you can exhale - where you don’t have to keep everything together, or hold your thoughts alone.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the thoughts that are running through your head? Thoughts that are generating anxiety, worry, fear, sadness, shame or a general feeling of being 'stuck' feeling a bit helpless and not being able to find a way forward? Sometimes in life we come across challenges that are too big to manage and cope with by ourselves and we need a helping hand to work through problems, find some clarity and build our resilience so we can cope better when life throws us curve balls.

Are you feeling that you need a supportive relationship to help with issues in your life? At different times in life we may feel overwhelmed, alone or stuck and it can help to talk in a non judgemental setting. You may be considering therapy for many reasons and the first step is to just make contact. This can bring feelings of nervousness but it can also be a very exciting moment. You can ask for the help and support you need. It’s very important that you feel completely comfortable with your counsellor, that they are a person you can share all of yourself with.

Life can feel overwhelming at times: it might be in our relationships, a lack of meaning or purpose, daily struggles or those horrible feelings of anxiety that just won’t go away. We might not be happy but we’re not sure why, we might feel life isn’t going the way we want it to whilst everyone else seems to be doing ok or more than ok. Talking openly and feeling truly heard can be life changing: we can say all those things that keep going round in our heads, the issues that keep coming back time and again, and work towards understanding what’s going on, make changes and find some peace. Isn't that what we all want and deserve?

Psychotherapy can be helpful when difficult, painful or traumatic experiences arise and where your own efforts to resolve them just don't seem to work. Changing how we are can feel difficult, however seeing a qualified therapist can support this process as it provides the time and space needed to explore any difficulties. We cannot change our past; what has happened has happened but what we can do is change our relationship to what has happened so that our past no longer has power in the present. Please see my website for further information.

Life may feel more about surviving than living, and you’re tired of carrying it all alone.

I work with individuals and couples. Focusing on your own individual needs, we can work together to empower you to achieve your own goals. Whether or not you've had counselling before, it can be difficult to take the first step. You can be assured you will be met with a warm and non-judgmental approach and a safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions, whatever the issues, even if those issues are not mentioned here. We are complex beings and not all of our issues fit neatly into one box! For me, the emphasis is about sitting alongside you and building a trusting relationship together.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
