Hello and thank you for choosing to look at my profile. Are you finding life difficult and challenging? Maybe leaving you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, isolated, with your mind full of thoughts and worries? Maybe you don't really know how you're feeling. At times like this I believe it is beneficial to have someone to talk too, someone who will offer support and really listen, empathically and without judgement. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor my first priority will be to offer you a safe space where you feel accepted. Where you can press pause on life and have time just for you.

Hi and welcome to my profile! I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with the BABCP. We can all experience difficult times in our lives that we may require help and support with.  When we experience distress we can often have negative feelings and thoughts which can influence how we react to a certain situation. We can often find ourselves stuck in a vicious cycle of negative thoughts and behaviours that can be hard to break.  CBT works on a 'here and now' basis, exploring your current difficulties and give you effective coping strategies to be able to make changes in your life and move forwards.

Whether we work together for just a few weeks or for much longer, my aim is to create a space of openess, where deep affirmation for what is important to you, can be felt. I work especially well with individuals who are navigating inner blockages that feel hard to name but impossible to ignore. Many of my clients are self-aware, sensitive and quietly struggling, and carry stories of being misunderstood - they want a space where individuality can be honoured and difficult emotions can be explored gently without judgement or urgency to 'solve' them. I give attention to all three levels of human experience: Body, Feelings + Mind!

Hello there, I qualified to practice back in 2002, from here I worked full time as a Counsellor for an Alcohol service. I worked for ten years with clients where the presenting issue was alcohol misuse, however there were many other issues our clients struggled with, such as Depression, Anxiety, Low Self Esteem etc. I have extensive experience of successfully working with clients to make significant changes and to reach their goals. Since leaving this service, I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings, gaining more and varied experience. I can help with most issues and usually without a need for long term therapy.

Imagine stepping into a space where your worries, stresses, and hidden stories are met with genuine care and curiosity. I’m a Gestalt psychotherapist with a deep-rooted passion for guiding individuals through anxiety, stress, anger, low moods, and relationship challenges. From my own background studying psychotherapy and years of hands-on experience in both private practice and community mental health settings, I’ve learned that transformation often begins with courageous honesty—being willing to name what feels overwhelming and invite connection. There’s another path—one where you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

You have tried to manage the unmanageable, using alcohol or substances as a highly effective anaesthetic catching up with you. You know now that the problem isn't the substance itself; the substance was just a solution a maladaptive one to a deeper pre-existing internal issue. Your searching for peace and serenity and to feel a sense of well being with life on a journey to happiness.

I understand that it can be exceptionally daunting figuring out what type of support you need, and therapy can often come with preconceptions. I hope my years of experience as a psychologist working in private inpatient settings helps to reassure you of my non-judgemental, compassionate and person-centred approach. I understand that one size does not fit all and I will work alongside you to figure out the therapeutic approaches most suited to your needs. I am trained in a number of therapeutic modalities including CBT; CFT; CAT; RO-DBT and MANTRA.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
