We all get periods when we feel low, anxious, stressed, stuck or confused and need extra support. Friends and family are great at these times. However, sometimes the additional help of someone with psychological training and experience is invaluable in order to help you to look at things from a different perspective. I have 16 years experience counselling adults in private practice & NHS settings. My approach is integrative. This means that I am trained and experienced in using a range of psychotherapy theories and methods. So, just as you are unique, my approach will be uniquely tailored to suit your individual needs.

You’re Here for a Reason. Let’s Get to Work. Life is messy. Therapy doesn’t need to be. You probably don’t want another spiel about ‘safe spaces’ or vague promises about ‘finding clarity’—you’ve read enough of that already. No doubt they’re important, but let’s focus on what matters most: understanding what’s holding you back and working on it. I won’t give you platitudes. Instead, we move into action. Whether it’s breaking old habits, managing stress, or just feeling like yourself again, we’ll take it one step at a time.

At times in life we all face uncertainty, anxiety, stress and confusion, these emotions are normal. We can experience conflict/anxiety/stress. Sometimes we may know why we are feeling the way we do, other times it comes like a bolt out of the blue. It is not up to me to tell you what to do, how to feel or how to be. With 4 years of counselling and psychotherapy coupled with 20 years of supporting people I can offer you the space where you can bring yourself back to you and use this awareness to move forward with a stronger and clearer sense of self.

My therapy practice centres around a belief in the transformative potential of experiencing connection and understanding with self and other. I believe one of the ways this can be achieved is through building an authentic professional therapeutic relationship based on qualities such as trust, acceptance and understanding. I prioritise the importance of working collaboratively at your pace and by your direction. My practice is informed by my person-centred and experiential training, and by my interest in working with the body, neuroscience, and through creative expression.

I am an Integrative psychotherapist which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to best support each individual. I work in a neuro-affirming way, recognising and respecting neurodivergence - particularly ADHD and Autism - not as deficits or disorders to be 'fixed', but as valid and valuable ways of being. My focus is on creating a supportive space where clients can explore the life issues that matter to them - whether that's relationships, identity, anxiety, burnout or navigating a world that often isn't designed with neuro-divergent minds in mind!

Finding a therapist who you feel you can trust and open up to may feel daunting. My practice focuses on offering you a confidential, safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and in a way that allows you to process what is going on for you. What a therapy session will look like is not prescriptive and will depend on what you bring. Understanding your unique experience of the world will be the starting point on which to build a relationship together, where we can develop understanding, awareness and insight into whatever difficulties you are experiencing.

Whatever you are going through in life, therapy can bring you relief, peace and make a positive difference to your life. Therapy provides a “safe” space for you to talk without judgement or criticism. It also offers the opportunity for you to work through your difficulties and experiences from the past. This can help you cope with the struggles you are facing today and work through fears and anxieties about the future.

Living with mental health difficulties can be a tough experience, especially if you feel that you do not have much support to help you. If you also have physical health issues, then this can be even more distressing and potentially isolating. As a qualified and registered Clinical Psychologist, I have often worked alongside individuals struggling to live a value-driven life as mental health difficulties have gotten in the way. I believe it is important to tailor therapy to meet your needs/goals. We can create a safe space to reflect upon your experiences, and collaboratively find ways to manage the difficulties you are experiencing.

Life often throws many ups and downs our way. Sometimes we cope and sometimes it feels just too much. Therapy can help you regain your equilibrium, providing a safe space for you to share your concerns with somebody who will really listen. I know it can be difficult to ask for help, “I have no right to feel like this because ...” is a common sentiment - but you do have that right. Counselling can help you to understand yourself and build your own resilience and long term mental well-being. Whether you wish to tackle a particular dilemma or explore underlying issues, it is important you allow yourself the time and space you need.
