If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious or worn down, or if life has become confusing in ways you never expected, you’re not alone. Sometimes things build quietly over time; sometimes they arrive suddenly and leave you feeling unsteady. You might be holding so much inside, trying to keep going, yet still feeling tangled, lost, or far from yourself. Therapy can offer a gentle pause — a place where you can breathe a little more deeply and let your thoughts and feelings settle. There’s no pressure to explain everything at once or to find the “right” way to feel. We simply begin at a pace that feels safe for you.

Hi there. Thank you for looking at my profile. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling to accept and come to terms with potentially life-changing neurological conditions such as stroke (including aphasia), TIAs, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, and those who are neurodiverse. I am also a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, and hypnotherapy can be offered either as a standalone approach or integrated into counselling sessions where appropriate and with your consent. It can be difficult to talk to those close to us for a variety of reasons, but sometimes we simply need to be heard without judgement or fear of hurting our loved one

We all have times when we have to face challenges and juggle life; this can be a very stressful time. When we are feeling, sad, alone, stressed, anxious, depressed or having relationship worries these can seem overwhelming. You may feel unable to talk to friends or family for fear of being judged. It's at times like these that we may need a helping hand, a safe place to talk, someone to talk to without feeling judged and someone who will listen to you.

Many people seek counselling for varying reasons, usually because of issues faced in our daily life which feel challenging or uncomfortable. We may feel stuck, sad, low or confused by an issue happening now or in the past. Perhaps relationships with family, friends or work colleagues feel difficult and awkward to navigate but you don’t quite know the reasons why.

Many people reach out when life feels overwhelming, confusing, or emotionally heavy. There may be moments of clarity and moments of uncertainty, and both can feel hard to navigate on your own. I offer a calm, steady space where things can slow down enough for you to explore what feels difficult, including the parts of your experience that may be uncomfortable or unclear. Through a humanistic integrative approach, we pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and relational patterns in the present moment, while also gently exploring how earlier experiences may shape how you protect yourself or connect with others today.

Dementia Counsellors
Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.

How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.

What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.

When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
