Counselling can help when life feels just too much to bear. There are many reasons why this might be the case: anxiety, depression, bereavement, a significant life event or feeling 'stuck.' It can also be helpful for individuals who are facing a really tough decision or who are in the midst of ongoing difficulty. I have a specialism in supporting women or men who are experiencing challenges related to conception, pregnancy and/or the post-natal period, such as: infertility, pregnancy loss, a fetal genetic diagnosis, birth trauma or postnatal mood disorders.

Hi, whatever has brought you to this point and why you’re considering therapy will be unique to you. Our struggles are no more or less than the person who stands next to us they are just different but how we manage those struggles is ultimately defining. Do you have goals, aspirations, are you anxious stressed or depressed or perhaps feeling isolated alone and find yourself retreating from life? Talking things through can be the first small steps to long term changes. My work will always be centred around you and the space will be safe, empathic and non-judgemental.

Are you feeling stuck? There are times when things can be difficult, and we may feel a bit lost, depressed, stressed, or suffer from low self-esteem, loss and loneliness. These can be some of challenges we may face in life. If you are looking for help, finding a counsellor can be a step in the right direction of addressing your difficulties and challenges. Whatever the difficulties in your life, whether it be a current situation or a past experience, I offer a safe, warm and confidential space where you can begin to explore your feelings and thoughts, at your pace.

Growing up has never been easy but perhaps due to the ever-changing circumstances, it is becoming even more difficult for children and young people with so many things they have to navigate or are exposed to. When children struggle emotionally, whether they are toddlers or teenagers, either their behaviour detoriate or unhealthy ways to deal with those strong emotions emerge. Either option can be scary and not many will be willing to talk about what is in their mind or is upsetting them.

Clients come to me for many reasons, but it’s usually when they have tried hard on their own to cope with past or present situations and things are not working for them. Maybe they’ve had a horrible event happen to them in the past and now this event is making them feel like they are living through it again. Maybe it’s about loss and grieving and when does it stop hurting? Maybe it’s about feelings of anxiety and how this stops them from doing what they want to do. The idea of counselling is that we build a relationship together to work through these issues in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

I work to create a safe, non-judgemental space within which my client and I can form a working therapeutic relationship. It will provide a foundation from which to explore what it means to be you; how you function within relationship; working towards change and growth. I believe I have to earn your trust, not expect it, because I'm a counsellor. You do not have to be what happened to you, you can choose what to become next.

I utilise traditional CBT & newer '3rd Wave CBT' interventions, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), metacognitive therapy & compassionate mind approach, to offer a flexible and individualised treatment process.

Reaching out for help and support can be a difficult first step to take. You may feel overwhelmed and need help knowing where to turn. At such a time it is important that you find the person that is right for you. I provide a safe, supportive, open and respectful space for you to talk confidentially without being judged and to explore what is troubling you. You do not have to do this alone. I can help and support you in managing what is happening for you there and in moving forwards from it. Managing issues such anxiety, depression, stress or insomnia can feel overwhelming, but you can make this happen.

Sometimes when we struggle to cope with life events, however big or small, we try to hide away but often the problems can resurface or end up taking over our everyday thoughts and lifestyles. You may even be thinking that your problems or worries are not as bad as other people’s issues and that you should just be OK. Perhaps you're used to giving the ‘I’m OK’ image but really struggling to carry on that person. The most important thing to say is that if the problem is important to you, it is important to me and I provide counselling for and with YOU.
