I am an Integrative Therapist, using a core model of Transactional Analysis.
We each have our own particular blend of resources and limitations, specific to us and unique as a fingerprint. That's why my therapeutic counselling doesn't provide 6-step plans, workbooks or programmes. It's open, free-flowing and exploratory. It takes the time to clear a regular safe space in which to unpack the events, relationships and emotions that you bring with you to this moment. To think about your feeling and feel your thinking. To talk, to laugh, to be tired, angry, uplifted or simply just to take the time to be. With compassion, empathy and without judgment.

Within a homely, confidential space, we journey together exploring your past experiences and how they affect your life today. Childhood issues, traumatic incidents and toxic relationships can cause spiralling thoughts, anxiety, mood swings, flashbacks, and overwhelming body sensations. It can seem like you have no control. As we work together, we gain awareness and understanding of why you are reacting the way you do. By developing self-compassion and strategies, you can take control, connect and process emotions without getting overwhelmed and deal with your past. Responding to yourself and others in ways you choose.

Are you puzzled why 'things' are not working out for you ? Do you feel 'stressed all the time ? Are you curious about why you are the person you are ? Why you live the life you do ? Is there a pattern you recognise about yourself, that you 'don't get' but seems unchangeable? Do you feel 'stuck' and unable to live the life you want? Does that desire to live the best life you can seem limited by illness or a potential or actual genetic blue print that isn't changeable ? If you have any of these thoughts or similar, then I can help you to find your answers. I have energy, experience, resources and commitment for this work with you.

We all have those times when things get on top of us; when we feel overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and unable to cope. We can feel stuck, trapped and that there’s no way forward. Perhaps work and the daily struggles of life are dragging you down? You’re feeling frazzled, stressed and anxious and can’t see a way out? Any one of these can take its toll on your self-confidence, we lose our mojo and everyday life just feels like an uphill struggle. Therapy can give you that much needed time and space to get a fresh perspective on what’s troubling and help you to find new ways of dealing with whatever life’s throwing at you right now.

Reaching out can be difficult. Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, unsettled, lost your way, or uncomfortable with whom you have become. The difficulties within our lives can change who we are or how we see the world. It can lead to thoughts or behaviours that take us away from who we are, resulting in a feeling of something not being right, struggling to cope or to make sense of things. When entering therapy, our life experiences enter too, and healing occurs within the processing. We will work together to build trust and explore your emotions and thoughts within a non-judgemental and safe environment, working at your own pace.

Reaching out for help takes courage, particularly if your self-esteem and confidence are low. But, if you want to make changes in your life then you may need support. People come to counselling for all sorts of reasons; anxiety, relationship issues, depression, bereavement, trauma etc. Perhaps you feel inhibited, have unhealthy patterns of behaviour or your emotions may be hijacking your ability to respond and keep perspective. Whatever the reason, the chances are you are feeling deeply distressed. You don’t have to keep struggling alone. Together we can work out what is causing you to feel threatened, overwhelmed or empty.

I draw from an extensive range: CBT, DBT, Mindfulness-Based therapies, Psychodynamic therapy, Compassion focused therapies, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and a range of Psych-Educational tools.
Navigating a world built for neurotypical minds can be relentless. If you're neurodivergent (or wondering whether you might be), you may have spent years adapting, masking, and pushing through, often without support that truly fits. I'm a neurodivergent therapist who specialises in working with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence. I don't offer formulaic approaches. Instead, we work collaboratively to find what actually helps you, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods tailored to how you think, feel, and process the world. I also work with a wide range of other difficulties, always meeting you as you are.

Whether or not you personally use the term "trauma", you might feel or wonder if you’re carrying elements of pain and difficulty from your past. You may feel unable to set boundaries, and end up people-pleasing, resentful, or emotionally exhausted​​. Perhaps you reach burnout because you often prioritise everyone else’s needs above your own. Often my clients find themselves saying “yes” when you really want to say “no” or carrying negative relationship patterns from earlier experiences. I specialise in helping people who are functioning on the outside but feel strained on the inside and may be in fact struggling to cope.
