I am a fully qualified Relate counsellor, experienced in working with couples and individuals who have relationship issues. I also work with people struggling with anxiety and
depression
, intimacy and sexual issues. I work in a systemic, psycho-dynamic way using a wide variety of techniques to suit each individual and specific situation. Are you experiencing relationship issues? Do you repeat the same patterns over and over again, often ending up in conflict? Do you find it difficult to express your emotions and feelings? Is attachment or trust an issue for you? Do you have issues around intimacy and sex?

(PTSD), Panic attacks,
depression
.
I am a solution focused counsellor, my training derives from the understanding that when essential emotional needs are met, a human being will be emotionally and mentally healthy.. its when our emotional needs are not being met or are unintentionally misused that undesirable mental states such as: anxiety, anger,
depression
, addiction and psychosis develop., for instance, misuse of the imagination - to conjure up the worst possible or threatening scenarios-is a common feature of all these states. I aim to work through how you got to this point in your life, to help support you in finding new ways to move forward and embrace life.

I work in private practice and in Secondary schools with many mental health issues such as anxiety, self-harm, low mood, gender dysphoria, self-esteem and confidence. In this difficult world, especially after lockdown, there are so many teenagers struggling emotionally and it is affecting confidence, friendships, family life and school. They want to understand how to understand and manage these emotions in order to be able to process them and move forward. I also work with SEND young people, struggling to understand themselves and why they may struggle emotionally.

I found my way to being a Psychologist because I am deeply curious about people and what makes us ‘tick’ and I struggle to see suffering without doing something to help. For most of my week, I work for the NHS in the Complex Needs Service, with people who have experienced trauma and who have complex emotional needs. I am also a DBT Therapist in our NHS Trust’s small DBT Service. Whether you're looking for help with serious mental health difficulties or you're just feeling stuck and struggling with motivation, Psychological Therapy can help!

If you are feeling that you need to make a change and need a confidential space to explore this, please get in touch. If something in your life has changed in a way you weren’t expecting/ready for (a bereavement, redundancy, end of a relationship) and you need somewhere safe to work out how you feel about it and what this means for your life, contact me to find out how I can help. Sometimes we are aware a change needs to happen from within. A new self-understanding, exploring our identity, making sense of past experiences, working out how we want our future to be. We can examine all of these things together in counselling.

Life is challenging at times. You may feel very alone with upsetting thoughts and feelings, feel stuck, blocked or unsettled. There may be things you need to say, but you can't find the words or a trusted person to say them to, and that's painful. Taking the step to talk a counsellor is an excellent way get some relief and be really heard. It's a process, which maybe sooner, rather than late, help you feel less stuck, a bit more confident, a bit more empowered and a bit more resolved.

My approach in sessions is centred on you, focusing on the here and now, current situations and difficulties you are experiencing. How you are feeling and behaving at present is often linked to past experiences which remain unresolved and continue to impact on your health and well-being today. Our sessions are based on respect, compassion, empathy and honesty. I will support you in exploring your reasons for wanting therapy, within a non-judgmental environment. By creating a safe, open and genuine relationship with you, we can together find ways to deal with the difficulties you are experiencing. The age range I work with is 18+.

The people I support come to me for help with a variety of life issues such as grief, bereavement, loneliness, living with a diagnosis of dementia & caregiving to name a few. I provide a safe and confidential space to listen to your story and what is causing concern. Sometimes it's tricky to make sense of what is happening in life, but with someone onside to listen, things can begin to settle down and improve. We all have goals and ideas of how we would like life to be, but it can be full of curve balls and barriers. My role is to help you circumnavigate these and be there for you, whilst you find a way to move forward in your life.

Depression Counsellors
Depressive disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. Depression is not a passing blue mood, which almost everyone experiences from time to time, but a complex mind/body illness that interferes with everyday functioning. It not only darkens one's outlook, it is commonly marked by sleep problems and changes in energy levels and appetite. It alters the structure and function of nerve cells so that it disrupts the way the brain processes information and interprets experience.
Despite feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness, depression is a treatable condition. It can be treated with psychotherapy. As with many illnesses, the earlier treatment begins, the more effective it can be and the greater the likelihood that recurrence can be prevented.
Psychotherapy addresses the thinking patterns that precipitate depression, and studies show that it prevents recurrence. Drug therapy is often helpful in relieving symptoms, such as severe anxiety, so that people can engage in meaningful psychotherapy.
