I believe therapy gives people a regular and confidential space to talk about their worries, problems or a chance to explore more about themselves; to gain a new or different perspective. This can lead to positive and proactive changes in how they feel about themselves, their relationships, as well as future-proofing their thinking and behaviour. I am a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and also a UKCP Accredited Integartive Child Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I have worked with children and adults since 2017.

You might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something just isn’t right, even if you can’t put your finger on it. Maybe you’re exhausted from relationships that leave you feeling unseen, or you find yourself constantly overthinking, people-pleasing, or doubting your own needs. I work with people who are ready to understand themselves on a deeper level, even if that feels scary at first. My clients often want to break old patterns, build self-trust, and start showing up in their lives in a way that feels more true to who they are. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just a willingness to be curious and honest.

I understand how emotional eating can take over—it was part of my own journey too. Training as a therapist helped me not only overcome these struggles, but also learn how to support others in finding freedom from them. I believe food isn’t the problem—it’s often a way of coping with deeper feelings. Together, we can explore the root causes in a safe and supportive space. I work integratively, using CBT, Person-Centred, and Psychodynamic approaches, adapting to your unique needs. Whether you want practical tools to manage urges or space to explore what’s driving them, we’ll move at your pace. You don’t have to go through this alone

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.

The thought of reaching out for support can feel daunting. The idea of being vulnerable can feel overwhelming. Facing these experiences, without judgment, with someone impartial, who is trained to listen can be really powerful. Therapy can offer you an insight, or a reframing, that can enable you to make changes or try different ways of approaching things. Gaining greater self-awareness may feel uncomfortable at times but you set the pace and guide where you want the sessions to go.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
