It might feel like it is hard to talk to someone you have never met about your feelings, and life's difficulties. Perhaps you are feeling lost, and unable to move on? Or you are anxious, hurt, angry or depressed? It can bring both relief and acceptance to talk about past experiences, or future worries; to help make sense of them and to accept and grow. Therapy can help you find a way forward, at a time when you cannot see how to break through and feel more control of your emotions and experiences.

Couples can find themselves having the same arguments, withdrawing when reaching for closeness feels unsafe. Communication becomes harder, connection begins to disappear, and a frightening sense of loneliness and longing can take hold. Feelings of hurt, being unseen and isolated can turn into anger and resentment towards the very person you long to feel close to. I work with children, teenagers, adults and couples, supporting people through anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life changes .

I began my career back in 2004 where I trained as an integrative therapist with an instant liking to Transactional Analysis.
My approach is very modern and integrative. I work with the client from the beginning with an approach that best suits their emotional capabilty. This is very holistic and reviewed regularly throughout our work. My approach is challenging, with remarkable outcomes that hold the basic belief and drive of ‘empowering the client’.

Please be aware I am away between 7th-11th September. I am an Integrative therapeutic counsellor working with clients aged 16+. I support clients through common life problems and common mental health conditions, such as relationships, work stress, bereavement, depression and anxiety. My goal in session is to immerse myself in my clients world. I reflect back what I'm hearing, seeing, feeling and sensing. At times, my reflections may highlight something that the client hadn't noticed or had long forgotten. Together, these parts can be gently explored and felt, leading to a greater sense of self-acceptance and understanding.

Counsellor, PNCPS Acc.
I work holistically and creatively, recognising that emotional wellbeing is rarely isolated from physical health, nervous system regulation, lifestyle, relationships, meaning and community. My approach integrates psychological understanding with complementary and collaborative therapies where appropriate, creating support that is individualised rather than ‘one-size-fits-all.’ Alongside my therapeutic work, I have a growing interest in developing innovative and collaborative models of wellbeing that bridge talking therapy with integrative health approaches. Modern mental health support must move beyond symptom management.

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples. Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.

I specialise in working with clients facing Stress and Anxiety in their lives. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming. Anxiety is actually an entirely natural and healthy response to feeling threatened or in danger, a mechanism designed to keep us safe. However, problems can arise when our anxiety response becomes ‘unhealthy’, in some cases it can begin to negatively impact our lives and this is when we may require additional support.
