"Do you feel stuck? Sad? Angry? or Anxious? Are you a parent worried about your child or teen? Life can throw up difficulties at any time. For example, a difficult childhood, trauma, the loss of a loved one or a relationship breakdown. Children and teens (and adults) may experience bullying, difficulties fitting in or managing social and cultural expectations. These experiences can lead to the development of Low Mood, Anxiety and other mental health conditions and difficulties. I am experienced in using Humanistic approaches and Evidence Based approaches to treat complex issues, across all ages. "

"I work with individuals who are looking for help in overcoming their emotional difficulties. You may be feeling stuck, lost or just need to talk about something that’s bothering you. You will be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions and we’ll work to form a trusting relationship that will support your personal growth. "

"When life gets difficult and our mental health and wellbeing starts to suffer we become over whelmed by our emotions; this overwhelm can come from stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, bereavement and loss etc to carry on and face the world we often put on a mask to cover them up. We are often told and even trained when we are young to put other peoples feelings and needs before our own, this can have a long lasting affect on our mental health and wellbeing. Counselling provides a safe and confidential space where you can explore who you really are."

"Sometimes life doesn't go the way we expected, it throws things at us that we never thought it would and we can be left feeling stuck or dissatisfied. These can be dramatic events or a build up of life's stresses... or perhaps we can't quite understand how we got here, we just know that something isn't quite as we would like it to be. This is where counselling can help. "

"I believe that everyone is unique and individual and should be treated that way, we may all need counselling at some stage through our lives to cope with sometimes difficult and troubled circumstances. This can vary from life changing circumstances in the present or past which you may be finding difficult to deal with at this time. Counselling is not about changing the past but finding a way to move forward living beyond it."

"Working in independent practice, for fourteen years, I work with individuals and couples who are looking to overcome stuckness, identify unmet needs, and recognise thought patterns that may be holding them back, or resulting in unhelpful relational behaviours. The aim is to help you gain insight, heighten self awareness and develop a less self critical view of yourself. As well as problem solving, the approach is educational, preventative and growth-promoting. "

"Hi and welcome - when life feels difficult it can be a relief to talk to someone who is not connected to you, who will listen without judgement and without telling you what to do.  Exploring events, thoughts and feelings can help them become clearer; what can feel like a tangle in your head can start to become easier to process, accept or change and also lessen the feeling of carrying around a weight.  This can help you to feel that you are coping and moving forwards. Whether you want to focus on current challenges, explore the past, feel better about yourself and your life, or a combination of all of these, counselling can help."

"Sometimes you want to be heard, truly heard. To have someone to talk to about whatever is on your mind, to be listened to without being judged or told what to do. If you are feeling unheard, anxious, upset or overwhelmed, I am here to listen and help you to explore your feelings, to better understand them and feel more in control. I offer a supportive and confidential space where we can explore whatever is troubling you. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours - both past and present - I can help you to better understand yourself and to accept and let go of what has been weighing you down, to allow you to move forward."

"I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist with a compassionate and down to earth approach. I work using an integrative model that draws on different approaches that supports you best and my aim is to provide you with a safe and therapeutic environment in which you can grow and develop and find inner peace."

"I enjoy working with young people and adults alike. I have been told by past clients that I am open, honest and friendly, which are qualities that all clients have valued. I like to problem solve and am a very logical and practical person. Having lived in several different countries, I have developed a good understanding of a range of issues for people from different cultures and backgrounds. I like to ask questions and truly get to know someone and never assume to know better. My clients are always the experts in their lives and I see myself as a guide to help them navigate to a calmer place. "

"There are times when many of us feel we could benefit from emotional support and although making that first step to see a counsellor can seem enormous, it is a really positive step as talking in confidence to a professional counsellor can help bring clarity and healing and give you much needed support during a painful or anxious time. Counselling can help you make sense of your emotions and responses and empower you to make changes in your life. It facilitates the freedom to talk openly and confidentially, in a place where you will be really listened to. I have two practices plus offer home visits for those who are home bound. "

"Take a moment to ask yourself how you are feeling today and yesterday and perhaps even the last week or month. You might be feeling a mixture of emotions making it difficult to enjoy life, causing you distress and unhappiness. It’s not easy asking for help but however you are feeling I am here to support you to understand what is troubling you and together find a way forward. I will offer you a warm, safe and confidential space to talk freely. I will not judge you but listen to you with empathy and kindness as new awareness and insight grows about yourself and what is important to you. "

" I use my expertise and experience to help people address their challenges at a level they can’t reach on their own. I see individuals who feel stuck for a whole variety of reasons. Maybe you are stuck in a past trauma; maybe you are struggling to move forward in your life; or maybe you are stuck in unhealthy behavioural patterns. Whatever brings you to therapy, my speciality is a deep exploration of all the factors that are holding you back. To do this, I develop long-term supportive relationships with my clients and work in an open-ended way, rather than just “fixing” the immediate problem."
