Sometimes the difficulties you have in the present are influenced by how things have been for you in the past. How you have coped with the tough experiences, the beliefs you have developed about yourself and the world, your habitual responses. You want to improve things for yourself but you can't see a way through. Maybe you have tried other ways of getting better, maybe with some success, but the underlying problems just turn up in different ways. You are here because you know that you are not out of options. Psychotherapy has helped many people like you. And with me, you are in a safe pair of hands. EMDR is an option for you too.

Counselling is not a one-size-fits-all approach, so I am very mindful of providing a service that meets the needs of the people I support and work with. If you are unsure whether counselling is right for you and would like to understand a little more about how I work, please reach out and book an intro call. I am always happy to share the ways I work and would be keen to understand what you would like to get out of counselling. I really believe that clients are the experts in their own lives and need a space where they can be witnessed, seen, and heard. I aim to offer a space that feels safe, contained and emotionally held.

Life changes, loss, the pressure of keeping everything going, or ADHD-related overwhelm can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are anymore. You may be tired of always being the steady one, longing for a space where you can drop the mask and be honest about how things really feel. I offer a calm, down-to-earth place to talk things through, make sense of what’s been building up, and begin to feel clearer, steadier, and more like yourself again..

I have helped clients with mild mental health issues such as general stress to higher needs such as schizophrenia and personality disorders. I would say my expertise lies mostly with anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues. I work with the clients goals in mind, at their own pace and ability. No two clients are the same and adjust my skills accordingly. Whether you’re looking for small changes in perspective, understanding or attitude, or you want a deeper more meaningful change in thinking, behaviour and habits I am willing to walk that journey with you.

To put it simply, I find that people tend to want therapy for two main reasons - to make a change and to feel heard. If that's what you're looking for - to feel really heard and understood, to make a change in your life, be it a physical change or a mental one, please know it is safe to contact me for support.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Clinical evidence based Mindfulness, aimed at effective treatment of most psychological issues. I am an Expert Witness and do court work (especially trauma).I aim to get desired results quickly (I am not a fan of long term therapy, but do offer long term support, if needed). I believe action oriented client, centered therapy works better than just "active listening, "which clients often find frustrating. Empowering people to help themselves is useful and reduces realiance on a therapist, I aim to make myself redundant and not needed by a client. Remote therapy works really well in my experience.

If you feel overwhelmed or stuck in patterns that don’t shift, therapy can help you understand and change what isn’t working. Dual-accredited psychotherapist, online and in person in Guildford. People often come to therapy when something in their emotional life or relationships feels hard to manage. You might feel overwhelmed or reactive, stuck in patterns that don’t shift, struggling with self-criticism, or finding that anxiety, low mood, or relationship difficulties keep returning despite effort or insight. Many people I work with are functioning well on the outside but struggling internally, or unsure where to begin.

You might not know exactly whats wrong - only that something doesn't feel right. On the outside things may look fine, but inside it can feel overwhelming, confusing and hard to manage - trying to hold everything together. If you're feel stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not yourself—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself. You might be struggling with your thoughts or emotions, finding relationships difficult, feeling lost or unsure of your direction, or noticing patterns in your life that you can’t seem to change. Sometimes, it’s not even clear what the problem is just that something needs to shift.
