I am concerned with helping you, by appreciating your uniqueness, and fostering a relationship built on trust. While focusing on your life now, we will explore and learn about your strengths, challenges, and aspirations.  Any diagnosis significantly impacting you, is important for us to explore and it does not define your identity or capabilities.  Therapy over the medium to long-term commitment can be a gradual process of exploration and discovery, allowing for a deeper understanding between us.

Does life sometimes feel overwhelming? You may find yourself struggling in your relationships, feeling unheard, or questioning whether the path you’re on is truly right for you. At times, it might just feel like something is “off,” even if you can’t quite put your finger on why. These experiences can be unsettling, and it’s natural to feel unsure about where to turn. Counselling offers a space away from the pressures of daily life, a place to pause, reflect, and make sense of what you’re going through. Together, we can explore your experiences and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Asking for help is not always easy, especially when you’re struggling with something that’s very close to you. I understand how daunting that first step of reaching out and contacting a therapist can be, which is why I always strive to provide a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for therapy sessions. I am committed to working alongside you and through mutual discussions providing you with the strategies and tools that are the best fit for you. I have a special interest in transgenerational influences which can present as childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety and personality disorders.

I offer a soulful approach to therapy grounded in the latest psychological theory. ​Often, it may seem that much of modern psychological therapy merely ruffles and reorganises the surface of the things that trouble us, seeing people who are experiencing psychological suffering as complex machines to which we can apply a set psychological theories. In contrast, after 20years of working as a psychological therapist, I believe it's more appropriate to approach clients as 'souls' in need of hearing, healing, connection, meaning, and renewal. ​

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

Although I offer support for many different needs, my lived experience and professional expertise allow me to support parents and families that have experienced bereavement, particularly Infant and pregnancy loss, including TFMR.
Hello and welcome. I'm an Accredited Online Psychotherapist working with people in the North East & across the UK. I offer a relaxed, collaborative and confidential space to explore areas of your life that are causing you difficulty. Often people come because they are not dealing with things as well as they would like to, they are experiencing difficult feelings and emotions, are going through difficult life experiences and dealing with things like lack of sleep, stress, worry, overwhelm, and would like to feel better. They may need a place to talk things through with someone who will listen.

It can be really daunting starting therapy and knowing where to begin. I am a compassionate, down to earth therapist and offer a range of therapies that I am fully qualified in. I am happy to offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation to discuss how I might be able to help. I have a lot of experience working with people who are stuck in a cycle of low mood or anxiety, people who have experienced traumatic events and need to heal from symptoms of PTSD and with people who have difficulties stemming from their childhood. If you have a critical inner voice, repeating patterns or feel stuck and overwhelmed then I can help.

I primarily work with adult individuals and couples aged 18 and over. In some cases, I also see young people aged 14 and above, depending on their individual circumstances and presenting needs.
