Life experiences can sometimes take you to a place where you feel overwhelmed and confused and may cause anxiety or depression. You could feel ashamed or have no sense of who you are and what you want, making it difficult to form decisions or talk to family and friends. This difficulty could result in a feeling of isolation and loneliness. By talking to a qualified counsellor, someone that is impartial, can offer, you a first step to positive change, along with an increased self-awareness and acceptance of yourself and develop relationships with others.

Welcome to my profile. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Sometimes life can be a struggle and reaching out can be daunting, it can be helpful to talk with someone that is not connected to your life or the difficulties you are facing. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Counselling is for anyone who feels they need help. That help could be coming to terms with a particular issue in your life or learning to manage difficult and upsetting feelings. I provide a safe and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Although support may be available from family, friends and colleagues; it is often helpful to step outside of these relationships and speak to a professional who has no other emotional involvement in your life.

People who come to work with me as a coaching psychologist are typically experiencing difficult feelings such as anxiety, stress and depression. Self criticism can be a paralysing, yet normal, aspect of life. They find themselves turning to things like TV, sex, booze, self harm etc in attempts to cope. They want to be happy, able to engage with their partner(s) in positive and warm ways, have relatively stable emotions and to be free to live the life they've dared to imagine for themselves. They just don't quite know how to get there. My clients are ready to take active steps towards improving things in their life.

There are times when we may struggle to cope or sense our life is stuck and feel powerless to change it. Taking the first steps towards finding the support and help you need is a courageous and important act, so please know that whatever issues bring you here, you will be heard. Counselling can help you to explore your inner world, make significant changes to your life and find your true self. I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and adhere to the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

Do you feel stuck or frustrated in your life? Overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, or struggling with a relationship? Perhaps you experience episodes of low mood that are affecting you and your family. It is often hard for others to understand how we experience life, and this can lead to feelings of isolation and despair. The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I support my clients to explore their problems and worries in a safe, non-judgmental, and collaborative way, leading to improved mental health and wellbeing.

Have you ever loved and hated someone at the same time? Have you ever acted impulsively and then regretted your actions? Do you have outbursts of anger at times and want to change this behaviour or other behaviours? Do you ever feel like you are behaving like a child, or been told you are acting like a child? Are you in a toxic relationship that you struggle to break free from? Do you engage in harmful habits that you are finding difficult to break free from? If you would like to work with your "parts" then please do contact me.

My specialism is working with Couples and Families. No relationship or family issue will surprise or deter me from working with you or your family members. My aim is to find solutions and resolve past and/or current conflicts. Each person has their own perception of the story to tell and you are given time and space to explore and express these thoughts and feelings without blame or recrimination from others. I offer you a safe space in the presence of your loved ones for you to claim your identity and step into your true potential.

There are times in life when we need help. When we feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, sad. Situations we are unable to make sense of. I offer an initial free consultation. This gives you the opportunity to find out about the therapy I offer. Research suggests that the therapeutic relationship itself is more important for a good out come than a particular type of therapy. This means that I am going to help you feel safe, accepted and treated with respect and perhaps challenge you in a positive and constructive way, then you are more likely to make good use of our sessions.

Try as we might, life is not always easy & there may be times when we need additional support. Whether you are looking to work through a particular concern, or feel that you would benefit from a confidential, and non-judgemental space where you are free to vent and debrief, I am wholeheartedly here for you. I work with couples to address areas such as communication, conflict, betrayal, trust, & desire, as well as with adults to work through symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, & self-criticism. Complimentary consultations offered to all who are interested in engaging.

When we need help, we can feel confused, overwhelmed with complex options for support and ultimately vulnerable on top of our initial difficulties. Who can we turn to with our most personal and painful struggles? Who can we trust to support our journey to reclaiming ourselves?

Are you finding your marriage or relationship to be really hard right now? Is it full of tension, disappointment or heartache? Perhaps you are arguing more and you just don't look forward to spending time with your partner anymore. Do you wish you could feel the way you felt about them when you first decided to make a commitment to each other? I'm guessing you want to feel seen and heard, like you matter and like your thoughts and feelings matter, too. You don't just want to be going through the motions of being close, but want something that feels special and secure.

Life can be tricky and struggling to keep your head above water can enhance overwhelming feelings. Perhaps it may lead you down a path of isolation, loneliness and the possibility of embarrassment that may prevent you from reaching out to family and friends. Finding a counsellor can be daunting and I believe that the relationship between counsellor and client is key for therapeutic change. I encourage my clients to safely explore any issues bought into therapy in an attempt to gain a greater understanding, begin to heal and grow within an environment that is non-judgemental. Please do get in touch if you have any questions.

I support Children and Young People with counselling through face to face conversations, therapeutic exploration and / or play. This enables a child or young person to express, explore and make sense of events and experiences that are hard to verbalise or articulate. It is a non-directive and client-centred approach to therapy that allows the client the opportunity to play out, talk about and work through feelings and emotions within a safe and therapeutic environment.

We all meet challenges, issues and pinch points in our lives and I am no exception. Whether it be making important decisions, dealing with loss, coping with challenging experiences/trauma, low confidence/self esteem it can be difficult to navigate our way through to lead our lives the way we want. You may be considering or are ready to make a change. Change could mean; reducing stress, coping with life in healthier ways, building confidence/self esteem, coming to terms with change/loss or just about anything that helps you move in your desired direction. Talking therapy can help!
