You might be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure why certain emotions or body sensations keep showing up.
I work in a gentle, integrative way, bringing together psychotherapy and somatic awareness. This can include inner child and parts work, exploring how protective responses developed and how earlier experiences may still be influencing how you feel in your body today. Sessions are paced carefully, supporting regulation, clarity and reconnection.

I believe that knowing you are not alone, and having that safe place to express your fears, or uncover how the past influences you today, is essential for mental health.

While I primarily work with adult clients, I also have experience working with teens. I use a patient centered, integrated approach that places you in the forefront of your journey.

I have worked in various settings with enduring diagnosed mental health conditions, depression, abuse, trauma, domestic violence and have done lots of work with students and the many issues they bring (study related and otherwise.) I am also qualified in CBT and have used this successfully, especially with social anxiety and generalised anxiety disorder.
The aim of sessions is to work towards an understanding of the challenges you face and the changes you wish to make. During sessions, you will be the focus of our attentions and I will value you without judgement, as a unique person, an equal. Having been in counselling myself, I have an understanding of the process. It can be a daunting prospect, and I will support you in that journey. I have listed many specialities and whilst I do have experience of working with them, I believe there is more to you than a "diagnosis" or an "issue" so the focus is on you the whole person, and whatever you choose to bring.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation.
Have you noticed that certain patterns seem to repeat in your life? Perhaps in how you feel internally across different situations, or in your interactions with others, or perhaps you feel stuck and don’t quite know what’s going on, or how you might move forward? You may have thought to yourself “try harder”, or “others can do it, why can’t I?”, or even believe something is “wrong” with you that’s keeping you from the life you wish to live. Whilst these thoughts are shared by many, they aren’t entirely accurate, and therapy with me might help make sense of things, talk through your struggles, and find different ways to move forward.

You may feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by emotions, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense. Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or doubting yourself in relationships. You might feel disconnected, exhausted from trying to cope, or unsure why certain situations trigger strong reactions. Often these experiences are linked to earlier trauma, loss, or growing up in an environment where your needs were not consistently met. As a trauma-informed Counselling Psychologist, I offer a calm, supportive space to explore how these experiences continue to shape the way you feel and respond today.

The impact on families that anxiety, anger, illness, panic attacks and other issues can be significant.
I am an experienced Child, Young Person and Parent Psychotherapist, based in Harrogate. There are times when we can all struggle emotionally. For children and young people it can often be difficult to understand and express their emotions and thoughts. Sometimes this leads to overwhelming and confusing feelings. Behaviours seem stuck. Often resulting in low self-esteem and relationship struggles with peers or family. Psychotherapy that is age appropriate, offered in a therapeutic space can scaffold the understanding of emotions, and develop communication skills to be able to express thoughts, and build their emotional resilience.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
