I provide therapy for all ages and stages of life. I offer my clients an empathic and non judgemental space in which to explore and discuss life challenges; from ongoing personal struggles to sudden situations of crisis. Anxiety can feel overwhelming and prevent you from living life purposefully, but with the right strategies and problem-solving solutions you can begin to navigate life’s complexities with confidence, turning anxiety into a new found excitement for life! When I work with young children I always work in collaboration with parents/carers, thus enabling better understanding and relationships within the family.

If you’re here, something may not feel right. You might be managing anxiety that never fully switches off, carrying the weight of trauma, navigating relationship strain, or simply feeling stuck and exhausted. I pride my practice on being down-to-earth, professional, non-judgmental and confidential. Therapy with me is structured and evidence-based, but never cold or overly clinical. Clients often say they value having a therapist who is steady, straightforward and genuinely human. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Some people come with clear goals; others just know they can’t keep going as they are.

You may have spent so long holding everything together that you've forgotten what it's like to feel like you. Maybe you're the one everyone turns to, and whilst focusing on everyone else's needs, you've lost sight of your own. You might be functioning, but you're not really living, you feel you're just about surviving. You might be exhausted from overthinking, putting everyone else first or feeling stuck. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, grief, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship or ADHD difficulties, therapy offers a space to pause, make sense of what's happening & move forward with clarity and understanding.

I specialise in Grief and Bereavement Therapy. This includes Living Bereavement (where a loved one is diagnosed with a life limiting illness), and support individuals who have gone through, or about to undergo, a significant life change. I also work with individuals who have experienced abuse, including Emotional Abuse. Emotional abuse may go undetected by the person experiencing it at the time, but it can lead to low self worth, depression, stress and anxiety disorders, a weakened immune system and other health issues, poor self awareness, and attracting other abusive relationships. I have lived experience of Autism & ADHD.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
