I work in collaboration with my clients, using a solution focussed approach. The aim is to identify the problem along with causal factors and to develop a unique, person centred treatment plan. I have many years experience and very good outcome rates - many of my clients come from personal recommendation. I have worked in both the NHS and private settings since 2000 and am also a registered mental health nurse. I have worked with people from all backgrounds. My approach is open, non-judgemental and and down-to-earth.

Welcome!
My guess is that getting started can be pretty scary to talk to someone you don't know about things that make you feel uncomfortable, sad, angry, overjoyed or embarrassed, but i would like to reassure you that this process is here to help you grow. There are certain elements necessary in therapy to maintain a space of positivity, growth and healing, but you are not responsible for maintaining those elements - that is the job of the therapist - my job.
It is imperative that we maintain a judgement free space that is challenging but comforting and be open about your experience as it unfolds.

I have experience supporting a diverse range of people with many different life challenges and a range of presenting issues, varying from stress and depression, to personality disorders and attachment, as well as life transitions and making sense of troubling dreams.
Together, we can explore how the past may be influencing the present, including trauma, complex bereavement, adverse childhood experiences, and family dynamics.
I am trained to work in an integrative and collaborative way, which means I adapt my approach to suit you and your individual needs, offering simple, jargon-free psychoeducation to support this process.

I am a BACP registered person-centred counsellor and counselling supervisor. I work with young people and adults - age from 11 years old and up. I aim to offer a confidential, safe space and a non-judgemental supportive relationship, hopefully helping you to explore and gain understanding of why you may feel the way you do. This sometimes can mean reviewing and working through past influences and life events and how they may be affecting you in the present. This self-exploration can be an opportunity for personal development and growth, bringing about positive changes in how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to others.

Warm, attachment-based counselling for anxiety, grief, work-related stress and life changes in Norfolk, London and online. Life can often look calm from the outside—but that doesn't necessarily mean you feel calm inside. Perhaps you’ve been carrying anxiety, stress or grief. Maybe relationships feel difficult, work feels overwhelming, or you’ve started to notice patterns in yourself that you want to understand. Many people reach out for counselling when life feels heavy or confusing. You might feel unsure where to begin, or what you even need—only that something doesn’t feel right, and you’d like a safe, private space to talk.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer make sense to you. Anxiety, low mood, trauma, or persistent overthinking may be affecting your relationships, work, or sense of self. You might appear to be functioning on the outside, yet feel internally exhausted or disconnected.
Many people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, but feel frustrated that they continue to struggle despite trying hard to cope, or having therapy before that didn’t fully address the problem. You may be seeking a deeper understanding of what is driving your difficulties, alongside practical ways to create change.

I believe that mental health difficulties are meaningful and understandable reactions to painful life events and situations, and so these are best treated with compassion, curiosity and respect. In this way, we may not only overcome problems, but gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our values, leading to a more balanced, fulfilling and enjoyable life. With a warm, caring approach to creating safe and reflective relationships, I can offer brief, focused therapy to build coping skills and overcome specific problems, or more in-depth work to build insight and release ingrained ways of being.

As an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, I see my role as first and foremost understanding what each person actually needs. That can look quite different from one client to the next. I aim to offer a space that feels safe and non-judgmental, somewhere you can speak openly, even if you are not quite sure how to put things into words yet.

I'm a doctor & therapist with a specialist interest in OCD. I believe that, with the right support & guidance, this is a highly treatable (!) problem. First, we must understand the nature of your intrusive thoughts & why they are causing you such distress. Next, we will explore how these thoughts influence the way you live your life. During this process, we’ll identify what is causing & maintaining your OCD &, most importantly, what needs to change to overcome it. In OCD, the problem is not an intellectual one. The issue lies at a deeper, more emotional level. Here, actions speak louder than words. We much change how you’re living.

Hello! I'm Jazz, a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with a passion for helping people to make sense of their difficulties and find the path forwards. When we experience difficult events in life, from obvious traumas, to stressful life events (e.g., moving house, relationship break-downs), we do the best we can to survive. We learn specific ways of being, and develop ideas about ourselves and others that help us to feel safe. This is our brain and nervous system doing the best job it can. However, often these patterns of thinking and behaviour keep us feeling stuck.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
