Armed Forces Counselling in Ponteland
I have extensive experience supporting veterans, serving military personnel, first responders, and others who have experienced trauma or highly demanding life events.
Are you struggling with intrusive memories, shame or self-blame following trauma or PTSD? Perhaps intrusive thoughts and images associated with OCD are taking over your life, or the pressures of work and everyday responsibilities are leaving you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
As a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, qualified EMDR therapist, clinical lead and supervisor, I work alongside people to understand the experiences, beliefs and anxieties that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we create a safe and supportive space to explore these difficulties and develop practical ways forward.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

You may seem to be coping on the outside, yet feel overwhelmed, exhausted or unsure how to move forward. I support adults experiencing trauma, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties and life transitions. I am a qualified psychotherapist and integrative counsellor, with over thirty years’ experience in the UK’s blue light emergency services. My work as a Family Liaison Specialist supporting people through sudden, life-changing events shaped my calm, grounded approach and led me to create Oldgate Therapy Centre—a welcoming, non-clinical space where you can feel heard, understand yourself more clearly and begin to move forward.

I specialise in working with those with a history of trauma, whether that’s one off events such as a car crash, sexual assault or attack, or layers of trauma in the form of childhood neglect/abuse, a military/medical career or an abusive relationship.
At the core of my work is a person centred philosophy. I see every patient as different and individual which is why I tailor my approach to each person. I don’t necessarily agree with prescribing a method to a diagnosis or problem as I’ve found this is not always helpful. However I am qualified to deliver EMDR and NET, both evidence based trauma therapies.

I offer a soulful approach to therapy grounded in the latest psychological theory. Often, it may seem that much of modern psychological therapy merely ruffles and reorganises the surface of the things that trouble us, seeing people who are experiencing psychological suffering as complex machines to which we can apply a set psychological theories. In contrast, after 20years of working as a psychological therapist, I believe it's more appropriate to approach clients as 'souls' in need of hearing, healing, connection, meaning, and renewal.
