We live for an average of 3 billion seconds, I would like to support everyone I work with use that time in the best possible way.

I work with people carrying a lot, emotionally, mentally and physically. Many are neurodivergent individuals navigating burnout, overwhelm or long standing patterns that are no longer serving them. Others want support with regulation, stress or balancing demanding responsibilities. Clients come to me when they're tired of coping alone and want a space where they don't have to mask or explain themselves. I offer gentle, practical. collaborative support that helps them feel more grounded and able to move forward

Many people come to therapy feeling caught in recurring relationship patterns that are difficult to shift. Conversations may escalate quickly, or there may be a growing sense of distance, frustration, or emotional disconnection over time. These experiences often feel confusing and isolating, especially when they seem to repeat in similar ways. I work with adults who experience cycles of relationship conflict, anger or anxiety, and want to better understand what is happening beneath the surface.

You may be successful but your worries and tendency to go over worst case scenarios in your head are so hard to control. Perhaps your anxiety is making it difficult for you to sleep well, relax, causing problems in your relationships, or bringing on panic attacks. You may have been coping by trying to block the worries out or avoid the situations that trigger your anxiety, but this is only making it harder for you to be present in your life and relationships the way you want to be. I'm here to help and let you know that you can learn to live life in the moment and learn to trust in your coping skills again.

I mainly work with parents raising neurodivergent children and with adults diagnosed later in life.
Perhaps you are raising a child with autism or ADHD and you are exhausted in a way that sleep does not touch. Perhaps you are grieving something you cannot quite name, or carrying guilt about how thin your patience has worn. Perhaps you have recently been diagnosed yourself, at thirty or at fifty, and are rewriting everything you thought you knew about who you have been. I was a teacher in a specialist school for four years before I trained as a counsellor. I have sat on the other side of those annual reviews, so you will not need to explain the system to me. I work in person in Leeds and online.

I offer couple/relationship therapy using an approach called Emotionally Focussed Therapy. I am a UKCP registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist with 20 years experience in the NHS and private practice. Couples usually come for therapy when there is a high level of distress in the relationship. They are often experiencing painfully repetitive 'win-lose' arguments, feeling hurt, blamed, lonely, unappreciated, angry, sad. They feel stuck, don't know how to move forward, don't want to make things worse. There may be issues around trust, communication, betrayal, affairs, and lack of intimacy.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
