As an Integrative, Trauma Informed and EMDR therapist, I work with trauma processing, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, bereavement and loss.
Sometimes life throws us challenges both through past and present experiences, which knock us off our feet and we become engulfed in uncertainty, worry and fear. It could be that we start to doubt ourselves and feel that we are not good enough or we are unable to cope, leading to anxiety and depression. Whatever you are going through, it deserves care, attention and compassion. You may be struggling to make meaning of what is going on around as you navigate life changes or have experienced traumatic events that you need some relief from. Whatever you are going through, I hope to help.

I work with a wide range of issues from stress, anxiety and anger to depression, loss/ bereavement, suicidal thoughts, relationship issues, self esteem and confidence.
I know it can be overwhelming to sift through all these profiles, so I’ll keep it simple. I'm a qualified therapist with 12 years of full-time experience. I'm a friendly, down-to-earth bloke with a good sense of humour, and I've gained (a bit of) the wisdom that comes with age and experience. My goal is to understand and support you, but I'll also challenge you to break free from whatever is holding you back when needed. I have a proven track record of helping people reduce distress, understand themselves better, and navigate life more effectively.

I have seen a range of issues including: anxiety, depression, loss, weight issues, grief and trauma.
I have expertise in evidence based approaches to support people with the difficulties they face. The models I work with include; social justice, CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and Narrative Therapy. I am trained in assessing what you are going through and how best to tailor therapy to meet your needs.

My skillset is particularly helpful for those struggling with loss, depression, anxiety, addiction, as well as identity, and self esteem issues including those linked to neurodivergence.
Many of my clients come to me overwhelmed, stuck, anxious and confused about how to feel better. They've tried a whole host of self help options, they've read all the books, listened to all the podcasts and tried countless instagram remedies and quick fix solutions but to no avail. They are often tired and exhausted from all of their efforts and just can't quite figure out what to do. My style of therapy is not a short term 'plaster over the wound' approach but instead heals from the bottom up.

Palliative care & bereavement.
I am a counsellor and registered general nurse specialising in occupational health, and my priorities have been about the physical and psychological care of my patients and clients.

I listen to why the client feels they need therapy, and we discuss the most appropriate way forward which may include, for example, CBT or solution-focussed therapy.

I worked for 15 years in the NHS as a counsellor with people facing life limited illness, end of life, disability and bereavement.
Hi, I’m Anita, and I believe counselling can offer a calm, reflective space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and make sense of what you’re experiencing. People come to counselling for different reasons. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure why things feel difficult. You might be facing a specific challenge, noticing old patterns repeating, or finding that past experiences are still shaping your present. Sometimes there’s a sense that something isn’t right, and you want space to explore it. You don’t need to arrive with the right words or know what you want to work on, we can begin wherever you are.

Sometimes life can feel out-of-control, confusing or painful. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of helplessness, or that your usual ways of coping don't work anymore. Perhaps you feel anxious or depressed. Maybe you have feelings that don't make sense or come out of nowhere. You might have always felt like an 'outsider', or that you find social interactions challenging or confusing. Maybe you just want to make a change to your life, but don't know where to start.

I have particular expertise in bereavement, child abuse and life-limiting illnesses.
Life brings challenges we didn’t ask for that can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. You might be experiencing anxiety, difficulties in relationships or simply feeling that something isn’t quite right. You don’t have to face these alone.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind allowing you to make sense of your thoughts and emotions. Together we’ll explore what matters most to you, at your own pace, while being met with understanding; allowing you to feel more at ease and building the confidence to navigate the best way forward.

Anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationships, work goals, issues and ways forward - these are just some of the stressors I have helped clients to tackle.
I am a qualified psychotherapist, life coach, trainer and supervisor, with over 25 years experience in private practice. I work with adults who may be encountering life's stressors to a greater-than-usual degree or may be struggling to find their way forward in a diverse range of circumstances. These may be from personal or professional sources but usually involve our own, perhaps not very helpful, habitual ways of dealing with such difficulties - we all can revert to old habits in times of trouble. I am available to do both short- and long-term work according to need.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
