Are you tired of wondering if and when things will get better? Working with me offers more than just coping strategies, it is a space for real healing and growth. Are you carrying the weight of past experiences that still affect your present life? You may feel broken, stuck, or like no one truly understands what you’ve been through. Perhaps you experience flashbacks, dissociation, emotional numbness, panic, or sudden shifts in mood that feel out of your control. You may have already tried therapy, self-help, or coping strategies, but still feel as though the impact of trauma lingers beneath the surface.

My clinical experience encompasses many years working in a mental health setting and private practice dealing with a broad range of symptoms including, but not limited to, chronic trauma, loss or abuse, stress, anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, child-parent conflicts, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, addiction and border-line states – to name just some of the presenting issues.
Psychotherapy isn’t always about words because at times it can be difficult to talk. My practice incorporates the use of creative methods to aid the expression of feelings and imagery.

I offer the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body whilst working on difficult experiences or emotions. It is an evidenced based treatment which means it has a robust body of research demonstrating its effectiveness. It's as effective as CBT. It helps a large variety of difficulties.
It works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the system that makes the body relaxed) whilst thinking about difficult things so that the brain then associates the difficulties with relaxation in the future rather than distress.

Have you ever promised yourself that things would be different this time, only to find yourself stuck in the same cycle? It's common - wanting to improve a relationship but losing your temper despite your best efforts, or hoping to express your feelings but freezing when the moment comes.
Therapy could help. You don’t need to explain it perfectly, just somewhere to start. I’m a person-centred therapist offering a collaborative space, led by empathy and honesty. People often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally exhausted. In time, life will feel a little easier to face, and you’ll start to recognise yourself again.

Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns despite knowing what needs to change? Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, low self-worth, or feel that you're holding yourself back. You may feel disconnected from yourself, exhausted from carrying so much, frustrated by repeating the same cycles, or aware that something is getting in the way of living the life you know you're capable of.
I believe many of the struggles we experience in adulthood are driven by unconscious beliefs, protective strategies and survival patterns that once kept us safe but now keep us stuck.

Accepting that you need the help of someone else can be hard. Making the decision to attend counselling can be even harder. Partners, peers and family may not understand, you may feel like you've failed somehow, you may feel like you are not enough. This is far from the truth however.
Attending counselling is often the first step on a journey that allows us to confront our difficulties, face our fears, become more self-aware and ultimately take a path that can lead to a better life.
