I work with individuals facing a range of mental health challenges, including low mood, bipolar, trauma, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and psychosis, with a particular focus on individuals experiencing psychotic symptoms.
I believe in taking a tailored approach to each individual, recognising every person has a unique set of experiences that require time and understanding to navigate. I am deeply passionate about ensuring that each person I work with feels heard, valued, and supported. I have extensive experience of working with individuals facing a range of mental health challenges, including low mood, bipolar disorder, trauma, eating disorders, and psychosis. Additionally, I specialise in the treatment of anxiety, a prevalent yet often debilitating condition that frequently co-occurs with other mental health concerns.

I utilise a creative process with clients who present with a wide range of difficulties such as low mood, attachment or relational issues, trauma, psychosis, personality disorders, self-harming behaviours, low self-esteem and anxiety disorders.
I have experience of working with adults and young people, within the NHS, forensic services and CAMHS. I can offer individual or group sessions for children or adults. We will use paint, paper, clay and other materials to explore and process things in a different way to traditional talking therapies. Sessions can feel playful and fun as well as therapeutic.

On a day-to-day basis I help people manage stressful life events and deal with many psychological problems. For example, anxiety, PTSD and depression. I can help you develop a rich understanding of your emotional difficulties, learn what has made you stuck, and how to respond flexibly to various challenges. I believe how we think affects what we feel, which in turn affects our actions. Sometimes we need to reflect on how we keep falling into the same traps to move forward in our life. Feel free to contact me.

I believe that, due to the unrelenting pressures of the world we live in and the way our brains have evolved, everyone can find life difficult sometimes. It is easy for our minds to appear to work against us; getting stuck in loops of painful thoughts and feelings. This can result in depression, anxiety and difficulties with relationships. People who have experienced significant distress, trauma or hurt in life can also, not surprisingly, experience significant difficulties where memories come to haunt us and send us back to previous pain. I hope to help people life the life they want to live, with some sense of agency over pain.

More generally, I have worked with people with Anxiety, Depression, Mood disorders, Personality Issues, Relationships, Historical Child Sexual Abuse (HCSA), Psychosis and Stress.
Regarding any work you bring to the session, I would like to work with you in a co-productive manner in order to address issues as we understand them. I begin with offering phone consultation (15 mins- free) followed by assessment sessions which help to identify what could be areas of concern, and create a psycholgical formulation in co-production with you (which can be modified as we progress through our journey). From there we move ahead with a plan that addresses what you're looking to achieve, be that time limited (and specific) or open ended (and exploratory).

Perhaps you are looking for help to find your bearings while going through a time of crisis and/or you who wish to examine your life more fully to address issues that have affected you over time. With the help of therapy, you can start understanding your inner world and thought patterns more clearly and remove the feelings of anxiety and worry from your mind. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy aims to go deep into your emotions, understanding how your early life has formed strategies that might contribute to unhelpful patterns in adulthood with the aim of gradually removing distress, helping you to live a fuller life.

You may want your complex issues to be contained and get some tools and techniques to cope. Perhaps you may just like to confide in someone and share your experience.

It's a 'given' that life is complex. Finding a solution to difficulties can be so challenging, perhaps seemingly 'impossible'. However, nothing is impossible .... the very word itself tells us - "I'm-possible!"

Psychosis Counsellors

What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?

The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.

When should people seek treatment for psychosis?

People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.

What if psychosis is left untreated?

Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.

How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?

It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
