If you're reading this, it's likely that you're feeling the need to seek some help and support in your life, and perhaps make some changes. You may have something specific that you're looking to change or gain help with. It may be that you're feeling stuck, experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, uncertainty and/or feeling overwhelmed. Counselling can be an incredibly valuable tool to help, regardless of the issue. I am experienced in working with clients dealing with and experiencing a wide range of issues. These include, but are not limited to problems in relationships, self esteem, bereavement , anxiety and depression.

I believe that every person has an inner potential to make their own choices in life and we have to connect with our inner self to explore and discover that potential. Would you like to discover your inner potential? I am trained in person-centred approach whose main pillars are empathy and unconditional positive regard along with being non-directive. This ensures that it is your time to explore your thoughts and your feelings at your pace. I also work with females who have experienced domestic violence, childhood trauma, sexual abuse in order to support them and help them find their own self thus empowering them to face the world.

I came to counselling late in life and bring years of life experiences as a result. I believe I have a natural empathy and understanding of my clients. Nothing shocks me and I never judge. I want my clients to reach their full potential in life, so whatever it is that is holding you back, let me help you unravel the tangle, in a safe, supportive environment. I offer private counselling based from my home office near Basingstoke in North Hampshire. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Hypnotherapy and am an Accredited Member of the National Counselling Society (NCS). I offer counselling and Hypnotherapy.

Maybe life feels overwhelming and you're feeling sad, anxious or struggling with your self-esteem. Perhaps you’ve lost a loved one, suffered a miscarriage or relationship breakdown. Maybe you’ve been made redundant, or are facing retirement. Or you've taken on caring responsibilities, are finding it difficult to cope with a physical health condition or dealing with infertility issues. Whatever your circumstances, we can explore your situation and what it means to you together. Whether you wish to move forward in some way, find acceptance, have an outlet for your emotions or talk without feeling sad, I can help.

With many years' experience in the field of care and counselling, from university to end-of-life settings, I have come to recognise that we can change profoundly through the therapeutic process. As I understand it, we are ever shifting throughout the lifecourse, yet are sometimes frustrated by repeating moments of stuckness which prevent us from fully relating to ourselves and to others. As a BPC-accredited psychotherapist and with a PhD drawing on psychoanalytic thinking, I would hope that you are able to develop greater self-awareness of those internal and external obstacles to discover greater freedoms in life.

Day to day life can be very challenging at times and a feeling of despair can change the way you feel. If you are experiencing stress, anxiety, grief , fear, challenging relationships, lack of confidence or low self-esteem right now then connecting with the right therapist will be really important for you. Having an initial 20 minutes free consultation will provide you with reassurance that I listen without judgement or criticism to your worries and concerns in a safe and confidential space.

I help people to feel more OK through online therapy. I work with them to change things about themselves, their lives or their relationships or simply to understand themselves better. I work with people who are living with difficult experiences or situations and want to uncover the inner resources and resilience to do this. Maybe you would like to learn how to live with the past, no matter what that was and to feel more confident that you can live your life in the right way for you? Maybe I can help.

We might all experience times in our life when we're struggling to cope, and when we do, talking our problems through with someone who understands us can be just the thing that lifts the weight from our shoulders and allows us to find a new path forward. Although I try to shy away from labels and diagnosis, I've helped people suffering from anxiety, depression, grief , relationship and anger management issues, and more. It's vital that you feel comfortable talking to your counsellor, and so I offer a half price first session to help you decide if I'm the right person for you.

Perhaps you're feeling down; depressed, anxious, confused, overwhelmed, stuck or lonely. Maybe you're unsure about a relationship, challenged by life transitions or a relationship breakdown.You might be struggling with childhood trauma, parenting,adoption, infertility, loss and identity issues. Or just feeling that you aren't living the life you deserve. Life gets tough sometimes, yet out of our vulnerabilities lie our strength. Therapy is a process of self-discovery & growth that helps you to understand aspects of your life that may be holding you back, heal and ignite passion and fulfilment. I have faith and welcome you as you are

We can all experience difficult and challenging feelings at any time in our life. While the people around us can be a great source of support, it is not always easy to talk to those closest to us and this can leave us feeling isolated and alone. I am a qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I work with individuals on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, providing a safe and secure space where you explore and make sense of your concerns. I combine different therapeutic tools and approaches to best fit your needs and tailor the sessions to work for you.

My specialties are in counseling, mindfulness, relaxation, meditation, business and leadership coaching, along with occupational psychology for companies and their managers.

Are you feeling lost or misunderstood? Do you have days when it feels like it's a bit too much to cope with? For many of us, life has not been the same recently. We all, in varying degrees, have been affected by the pandemic and life with the restrictions of lockdown. As a result, some of us may have been experiencing anxiety, a disorientation and even concerns about our overall mental well-being. Some also may have felt the negative impact on family relationships, be that with partners or children, while some may have struggled with jobs and finances, or simply become anxious about the future generally.

How are you feeling? If you are feeling really low, anxious or lacking confidence, you are not alone. My team and I can help using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Existential and Psychoanalytic counselling to make you feel yourself again. We can help with depression, generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PSTD, phobias, grief and identity issues. We support children, adolescents or adults. We have a lot of experience working with clients with Autism Spectrum Conditions, health conditions, as well as people from a South African or South Asian/Indian background.

People at times regard seeking counselling as a weakness, however in my view it actually shows great strength to seek support when you are facing issues in your life. Having the courage to look 'inside yourself' is the first step. Working together, I will be there to provide a safe and confidential environment in which we can explore a way forward together. It is a privilege to have acquired the skills to support people who are facing challenges such as: Relationship issues; Stress; Psychological Trauma and PTSD; Anxiety/Depression; Anger issues; Bereavement & Loss ; & Phobias
