Every human being is hurt in some way; in many cases this will manifest as depression, anxiety or some other way which gets in the way of personal development and the ability to reach out to his or her potential. Therapy provides a relationship in which clients are able to accept themselves as they are and value themselves as individuals. Every individual has an urge to develop as a whole, finding the tendency to actualize and become a more fully functioning person. It is the joy of a therapist to assist the client in these breakthroughs.I am working as a senior counsellor and supervisor in NHS.

You’ve done the thinking. You understand your patterns. And yet—nothing really changes. You find yourself in the same loops: in relationships, in your reactions, in your thinking. I work with adults, couples, and young people who feel stuck in patterns that don’t shift. My approach is active, relational, and focused on real change—not just talking.

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I believe that the most important part of therapy is that we build a strong and therapeutic relationship together so that you can feel safe to explore your feelings and concerns. We all have times in our life when we need support and it is not always possible to sort things out with the help of family and friends. I would be there to listen and not judge, in a confidential and caring environment. Counselling can feel daunting but can help to empower you to explore and reflect on ways of making changes and moving forward with your life.

Relationships can be difficult, miscommunication & misattunement of emotions can create patterns of behaviour that can lead to a lack of connectiveness & blocks to intimancy. This can trigger a fight or flight response & the cycle continues. In therapy you can learn to communicate your care seeking & care giving needs in a clear way & change the relationship to a more secure & attuned base. You'll learn the skills to listen to each other & navigate the ruptures & repairs that are part of all relationships. I will work to provide a safe & non biased space for you to resolve them together & decide the best way forward.

Welcome to my counselling practice. I offer a supportive, empathic and friendly service to individuals, couples and families. Perhaps there are particular issues causing you distress, or maybe something more subtle, an inner feeling that all is not well. Our physical and psychological health can be compromised by traumatic situations such as bullying, abuse, bereavement and family disputes. We may develop ways of coping which also cause problems, for example self-harm and addictions. I provide a non-judgmental space for whatever you wish to explore and address including your relationships, anxiety, depression and emotional distress.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
