If you've ever said to yourself: "I know I keep repeating the same patterns... but I don’t know how to stop." you are not alone. Knowing why we struggle is only half the battle; healing happens when we learn to do things differently. It is exhausting to have full insight yet stay stuck in the same relational loops.
As a Relational Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, I offer a steady, safe pair of hands to hold these complex dynamics. We won't just analyze your past—we’ll use our relationship to explore your nervous system, use creative reflection, and gently bridge the gap to true emotional change.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy in a cosy log cabin, whilst walking through woodland, or sitting together on a hillside with far reaching views. I offer therapy in natural settings because many people find that being outdoors helps them feel calmer, think more clearly, and connect more openly. Research demonstrates that spending time in green spaces can support emotional regulation, restore attention, calm the nervous system, and promote a greater sense of connection. Therapy in nature can offer a welcome pause from the pace and pressures of modern life.

The pandemic has revealed difficulties such as anxiety, depression, obsessiveness, and feelings of powerlessness to name but a few.
I work in a person centred way. Sometimes I teach theory of personal development, share stories, read poetry or personal experience. Clarifying goals and then working towards those goals, with regular reviews, can be important for some but not for others. Working relationally in the present with mindfulnes is I believe, crucial for positive outcomes.

Are you feeling stuck in a painful cycle with food, your body, your health, or your emotional wellbeing? You may find yourself eating in secret, feeling out of control, or caught between wanting change and struggling to sustain it.

I specialise in helping adults understand the patterns that keep these difficulties going, including cycles of restriction and overeating, persistent self-criticism, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself.

Anxiety Counsellors
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.
