I am a passionate Doctor of Clinical Psychology and have worked 15 years in mental health services working with adults, children, young people and families. I enjoy getting to know individuals and finding what works well for them. I do this through using evidence-based therapeutic approaches and tailor my intervention to each individual.

I have been a counsellor/therapist since 1999 and now also offer Internal Family Systems informed therapy. I work with a variety of issues including personal, work or relationship issues, anxiety, stress, depression, feelings of meaninglessness, grief, anger, low self-esteem, lack of confidence or life-changing illness. I tend to attract people interested in meditation and spirituality or who are seeking greater meaning and purpose. I specialise in supporting clients to increase self-compassion through psychological understanding, mindfulness and personal practices designed to support your personal and spiritual growth.

The reasons we seek counselling are many and varied. Sometimes there is a sudden loss or trauma, but sometimes there are layers of difficult experiences where one more is too many, and we can become overwhelmed. These may be current events or traumatic experiences from long ago that continue to affect life today. We may begin to distance ourselves from friends and family as we try to make sense of difficult feelings and emotions alone. Perhaps because we don't want to burden others or from unresolved or misplaced feelings of guilt or shame. Reaching out for support can be the hardest first step to healing and positive change.

You may be looking to make sense of your experiences or looking to gain understanding or increased awareness of how you feel. You might be looking to bring about a change in your life and wanting to explore this objectively. Perhaps you are looking for a regular time and space to consider aspects of your life without interruption or being told what you should do by others. whatever your reason for looking into counselling you can expect to be treated with respect, honesty and empathy as we work together on your goals.

If you are searching for a safe space to be with what is around for you right now, I can help you. You may be feeling stuck, facing important life decisions. You may be struggling with a relationship . There might be a lot of pressure around. Perhaps you have lost a sense of who you are. Life might have lost a little direction. You may be facing an enforced or welcome change or transition in your life. Maybe you are looking for a little support with someone you can trust. Something might need healing. You are strong and capable and also there is a part needing some compassion and care.

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.

I believe the relationship between us is key to healing, as well as the environment. I invite you into my space and hope you will trust me with the things that might feel hard to say to others, even to yourself. I encourage keeping a journal whilst in therapy and we can both make notes between sessions, keeping our connection alive.

I am a Systemic and Family Psychotherapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse with an interest with working with individuals, couples and families with various mental health issues. I also offer EMDR, a trauma therapy that is extremely effective in treating trauma, anxiety and many other mental health issues. More recently I have been supporting employees within the NHS who may be off work with stress and trauma to recover and return to work utilising a whole systems approach over the last year with positive results. I am passionate about making sure the support I offer is tailored to meet the goals of my clients.

I have studied focusing, CBT, mindfulness, couples and group facilitation, coaching and creative thinking. At Emotionalskills we offer a straightforward therapeutic skills course designed specifically to help each unique client individually. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work with: adults, young people (15 plus), older people who thought they were too old to change, couples who want to stop arguing, struggling family units and people who want to realise a fulfilling life.

Are you struggling and looking for an experienced therapist who will listen to you in a comfortable and safe space, and help guide you through a difficult time? If so, I can help. MBACP registered and a fully qualified counsellor, I’ve been a therapist for over 9 years. In that time, I've helped clients work through numerous concerns, from addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to attachment issues and relationships problems.

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.

My aim is to help my clients live more fulfilling and positive lives. Many people are finding life difficult right now and are feeling anxious and depressed. I offer a safe space where they can share their problems and receive support. Clients are met with warmth, acceptance and positivity, and their challenges are listened to and properly understood. I'm an integrative counsellor, which means I tailor my approach according to my client’s individual needs. I acknowledge that early experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves and others later in life.

We might find times in our lives when we are struggling to cope, feel anxious or depressed, lost and hopeless, or feel unhappy in relationships. Therapy can be a place to make sense of experiences both past and present, exploring repeated patterns that keep us stuck and prevent us from making the changes we would like to in life. My style of working is collaborative, where we explore together, in a supportive, confidential and non-judgemental space, the difficulties that you are currently facing.

I am trained as an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, which means I draw on a range of theories and concepts in our work together. Underpinning my work is my belief that we have a human desire to feel whole and connected, with ourselves and with others. Part of our work will be to explore those parts of your experience that may prevent you feeling this way. I am open to exploring any issue that you bring to counselling.

My work experience has been very broad and experiences have been gained whilst working in many settings, they include care homes, Secure hospitals, CAMHS, educational settings SEMH, SENCO, EHCP. I am honored to hold the title of Chartered Psychologist which is legally recognized and reflects only the highest standard of psychological knowledge and expertise. By being a member of the BPS I am enrolled online on the search list of Chartered Psychologists and accredited and approved as a Qualified Chartered Psychologist. I am also an ADOS-2, ADI-R, and ABAS-3 clinician and able to offer Autism consultation assessments and diagnoses.

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing.
