Struggling to cope with negative emotions can feel very isolating and, by the nature of some problems, guilt and shame can make us feel stigmatised and prevent us reaching out for support even when its not our fault. People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life. Some people find they use alcohol or drugs in an attempt to cope with their feelings but inventively this creates more problems

As a Highly Specialist Practitioner Psychologist, I have worked mainly with individuals who have suffered some kind of childhood trauma and I also offer assessments for ADHD & ASD. As a result I have found that individuals with personality issues, CPTSD, mood disorders and neurodiversity feel that I am the best fit for them. The types of clients who are drawn to me tend to have difficulties with rejection, abandonment, being judged and not accepted. I provide the space to counteract that, to develop self-empathy and self-compassion and to simply accept and learn to love who we truly are.

Everyone needs time to consider what they want from therapy. Perhaps you want a confidential space where you can say things you feel unable to say in other areas of your life. Maybe you want specific coping mechanisms for day-to-day issues like social anxiety. You might want to refocus historic family issues, trauma, or abuse. This can all help in gaining greater clarity, understanding, and confidence. Any client can bring anything, and there are no issues I won't consider working with, but I have a special interest in trauma and what it does to people.

Many of us can be our own harshest critic...never feeling good enough, never feeling as if we are "enough", not wanted or unloveable...these thoughts understandably have a big impact on our wellbeing and day to day functioning. It's not just you that feels this way - many of us struggle with these thoughts and feelings at times, but particularly if we've experienced adversity or trauma, this may have become the "norm" in the way we think about ourselves. But this can change. And when we start to think about ourselves and relate differently to ourselves, the world feels like a much better place!

Sex therapy is at the core of the work I do. I offer a focused sex therapy approach that aims for specific, measurable changes. This is often shorter-term therapy, targeting present-day challenges, as opposed to long-term psychotherapy. While the work may touch on exploratory psychotherapy around underlying patterns and meanings in thoughts and behaviors to gain deeper self-understanding, I do not offer open-ended, long-term, or generic psychotherapy.
