Sometimes fear of being judged can hold us back from seeking help and advice, in resisting we fail to be true to ourselves and embrace new possibilities. Counselling is a positive and practical step you can take to initiate change in your life, it offers a confidential space where you will be seen and heard in a caring non-judgemental way.

I am a highly skilled Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years experience of working with adults in the NHS. I have specific expertise in working with people with trauma related mental health conditions such as PTSD, childhood trauma, domestic violence, dissociative difficulties and psychosis. I work with clients to gain a greater understanding of their difficulties and to develop strategies to support them to move forwards with their goals and reclaim their life.

I have over 20 years experience. I am aware how important it is to find someone you can share with and work towards a better future. I offer you short/medium or longer term (up to one year) to raise your self awareness and understanding about your situation and work in a non judgemental way towards finding a better way forward or coming to terms with something that may have happened. We all have traumas in our lives and this can leave us feeling really dysregulated, anxious and struggling to cope. I offer you a tailored approach to counselling and draw on my experience and training to offer you a safe setting to explore YOU.

Much of my counselling is done outside; walking and talking, using nature to calm our nervous systems as we process what you bring to counselling. I can also work online. Many things can lead people to counselling: family issues, anxiety, sadness, anger and resentment, bereavement/loss, the current situation or perhaps a general feeling that things are not right. Whatever your reasons for seeking help, I offer confidential, non-judgemental counselling, which will allow you to be fully heard and understood. This means you can make more sense of your experiences and feelings and can find some relief from distress.

“Sometimes what you are most afraid of doing is the very thing that can set you free"My own professional /personal experiences counselling has taught me that all challenges can bring opportunities for growth and empowerment. Counselling is a journey,.long / short term but it must have certain factors in place to allow change. I offer you a safe environment where you can feel able to share with me the issues you are facing, to feel listened to without passing judgment and together looking at ways to create a way forward. I have further specialized training in Child Abuse,Autism, Bereavement( also Pet Bereavement) Sex Addiction

My integrative framework to working with my clients allows for a sensitive, gentle approach tailored to each client and their individual needs. Offering an environment which allows the client to truly be themselves, in a non judgmental, safe haven whereby they feel held and accepted. Therefore, allowing them to start their journey into counselling and the self discovery which accompanies it “one step at a time” and at a manageable pace.

I am a degree qualified therapeutic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I welcome clients from all backgrounds and work with clients within a safe and confidential space where you will be supported to express and explore what is troubling you without being judged.

"There is a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in" (Leonard Cohen). I love this quote. We all have problems, things we don't like about ourselves, things we seem to struggle with over and over. It's part of being human, none of us are perfect or completely 'sorted'. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, desperate, alone.... the light isn't getting in at all, everything outside is dark. Or we feel lonely, stuck, frustrated, exhausted, going round in circles, nothing works, nothing will ever change. Maybe you feel like this a lot, or maybe it's new for you and your usual coping and support just isn't working at the moment.

Psychotherapeutic counselling sessions can help with your mental health needs which require regular maintenance. At See For Miles our sensitive, yet challenging approach to counselling is strengthened through developing a strong working relationship between therapist and client, encouraging those to move from where they are now. Enabling clients to explore their own options, reach their own decisions and to act upon them accordingly, making effective decisions which lead to positive changes in their attitude and/or behaviour.

I offer individual psychological therapy for adults. I can offer help with a wide range of common emotional and mental health difficulties, and also have expertise in the management of long-term physical health conditions. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental and supportive space in which my clients can feel safe to explore their difficulties and make changes. After a detailed assessment, I will develop a tailored treatment plan with you. This will be based on evidence-based and recommended therapeutic approaches, as well as your personal needs and preferences.

Counselling can help you to change the way you see the world around you and your place in it. I aim to help you to understand yourself more deeply, to perhaps recognise patterns of behaviour that are maybe unhelpful to yourself. I know what an unnerving experience contacting a counsellor can be: you might feel worried about saying the 'right' things, or about what questions I might ask you. You might be feeling sceptical that anyone can help you at all or be left wondering if your problems are 'bad' enough for therapy. Contacting a counsellor can be the first step to understanding yourself more deeply.

The greatest adversary we will come up against in our lives is ourselves because, for many of us, the loudest voice of criticism and doubt is our own. Some of us lean toward the negative too easily and focus on what we are not, the traits we don't possess, and who we wish we could be. Maybe we don't spend very much time thinking about what we are because what we are doesn't feel like it will ever be enough.⁠ ⁠ In doing so we miss our own worth. We overlook our talents, underate our achievements, and deny our potential. ⁠ ⁠It's hard sometimes to remember that you are worthy of all you dream of and hope for. ⁠
