My expertise is, but my practice is not limited to, toxic emotional relational abuse, past and present, also I work with self esteem and assertiveness, negative thoughts and behavioural patterns, anxiety, and loss, through death or relationship problems/separation/divorce.
Maybe you feel confused, sad, numb, guilty, ashamed, lost, alone or anxious, with no clear idea of where to turn. Do you need understanding or, empathic support whilst you work through loss, anxiety, negative thoughts and behaviour, relationship problems, or natural life transition and personal crisis? I can help you. I whole heartedly understand how difficult sharing emotions can be, but allow me to reassure you that together we can find different or new ways of understanding your problems by discovering new insights/empowerment/self acceptance & resilience.

I also have experience of working with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and with people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts.
Hello, welcome to my counselling practice. Maybe this is your first time contacting a counsellor, or maybe you have had therapy before. Maybe you had a good experience, or maybe you and your therapist did not quite fit. It is a big step, starting therapy, and you may be feeling anxious about baring your soul to someone you never met. Or maybe it's easier to talk to a stranger than offload your worries to a partner or friends. Whatever brings you here, I will offer you the space and time you need to gently ease in, try out a free initial 30 minute session, have a pause-and-review session after a few weeks. We can take it from there.

There are times in life where we all need to talk through something that just feels too complex to share with family or friends. Whether you're a people-pleaser, an overthinker, living with social anxiety or constant tension, therapy provides you with a valuable investment in time for yourself. Together, we can develop a deeper understanding of what makes you you, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and help you to improve and enrich your life. As someone with lived experience of ADHD, I also bring a personal understanding of the challenges and strengths that can come with being neurodivergent.

I work with a wide range of issues. My role as a psychotherapist is to listen to you with sensitivity and empathy and without judgement or rushing you. In this way, we can both try to make sense of what has happened up to this point in time. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or heartbroken because of it. These are natural emotional responses to what has gone on - however if this has been going for a while, or you don't have someone to talk to, I could be able to help.

You may be feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed, in pain or discomfort, and this can be your mind and body's way of signalling that something needs attention. You may not know what it is, but you know something doesn't feel right. I offer a safe, compassionate space to deepen your understanding of your discomfort, explore how it may have developed and what keeps it going, noticing how the past may be impacting your present. As insight grows, you begin to make sense of your experiences and recognise patterns. When we begin to use what we've learned, this can open up new possibilities and perspectives and support meaningful change.

Then my desire changed to facilitating direct positive shifts in other people's lives; lives spoilt by trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, persecuted sexuality and lack of life direction.
I am an integrative counsellor. This means that I have a major mode of working - client centred- but draw on other traditions where indicated. Where relationships are the focus I will include psychodynamic approaches. Finally, I will take an existential approach to problems of "what do I want to do with my life."

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
