Life has many challenges which can feel overwhelming. Ordinary life events such as a break-up or extraordinary life events such as traumatic incidents can have a huge impact on how we see ourselves, others, and the world. You might feel like your thoughts are a tangled mess or that you're stuck in a spiral which is pointed in the wrong direction. Maybe believing that you don't have the power to take control of your own life has left you feeling hopeless. At times like this, we are our own worst critic and can be very hard on ourselves.

My 'specialism' or area of most experience tends to be working with low mood and depression. These labels, however, encompass a lot of varied symptoms and causes. Commonly other issues are intertwined such as trauma, anxiety and low self-esteem. Clients that begin to work with me often do so because they find that their feelings, thoughts or other symptoms have begun to affect areas of functioning in life; they find that coping mechanisms that have been helpful in the past (whether 'healthy' or 'unhealthy') are beginning to work less effectively.

My ideal client is one that has a specific goal in mind that we can collaboratively work on. Your goal could be anything from stress management, emotional resilience building, behavioural change, to phobias and habit reversal. You would be open to learning new coping skills to help obtain your target. It's likely you have been let down by therapeutic services before and are looking for a way to be your own therapist through a short term transformation, rather than spending 1000s of hours in session indefinitely. On average, my clients feel results in as little as 3, 1 to 1.5 hour sessions.

Hello, sometimes we all need some help with things in life, to make sense of it, we may know what the problem might be or we simply know that 'something simply doesn't feel right'. Having counselling can help by giving you the space to look at and think about what might be happening for you with absolutely no judgement giving you the opportunity to learn about you, why you feel the way you do, why you respond to situations the way you do.

I am dedicated to supporting my clients and giving you the tools you need in life. I work with the whole person, our minds are just as important as our bodies and we need to work on emotional and mental resilience to allow us to bounce back when life happens. Now you are ready to make changes, I am here to support you along that journey, giving you a toolkit that you will be able to use throughout life. I work in an empathic and sensitive manner, helping to support with problems that you may never have felt able to talk out loud about before.

Are you struggling to be the person you want to be? Are you stuck in life and not sure how to move forward? Do you hide how you really feel because you worry how people might react? Are you unable to express your opinions? Struggling with anger? Constantly worried? Do you feel like no one understands you? I have extensive experience working with a range of issues including lack of self-esteem, anxiety and depression.

Are you suffering with the overwhelming feelings of stress, general anxiety, social anxiety, the hopelessness and helplessness of depression, the pain that comes with grief, loss and bereavement, the fatigue and loss that comes with cancer or other medical heath issues either as a patient or carer, the worthlessness that comes with low self-confidence, or just feeling down for some unknown reason? If this sounds like you, then I can help you through counselling therapy

Do you need some space and time to collect your thoughts, find some perspective? Are you wrestling with something which seems difficult to understand and accept?

At my counselling practice, close to Ollerton, near to Retford. I offer face to face or online therapy.

We all carry emotional problems from family and previous relationships, living through difficult relationships can make you feel emotionally drained and this can impact your life.

Please note that I currently work online, via Zoom and telephone. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that helps people work out their unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and to learn techniques to modify these. We will work together to understand what the problem is, how it has developed and what is keeping it stuck in order to work out what can be done to change things. Please feel free to call me and we can have a brief chat about what is bothering you to work out if CBT is the right therapy for you, and if I’m the right therapist. I am also able to offer 'walk and talk' walking therapy if appropriate.
