My clients often arrive in my chair feeling stuck in their relationships or within themselves. They crave deeper connection, intimacy & fulfilment but don’t know how to get there. Maybe past wounds, shame or patterns keep them from the life they desire. My clients are ready for change, open to exploring mind, body, and soul, and want a holistic, integrative approach. They want a space to feel seen, heard and empowered- whether in their relationship or as an individual. They are searching for more than surface-level fixes; they seek lasting transformation.

To ensure that everyone has access to counselling I am pleased to offer sessions via Zoom and telephone support as well as Face to Face
When someone you love dies, the grief can feel overwhelming. Life might even feel pointless. I can offer you a space to talk about how you are feeling and what is really going on, so that every day does not feel like such a struggle and you can come to terms with your loss. Counselling can be that space to talk about the person who has died and all your feelings with someone who understands and without worrying your friends or family.

Trying to work out the way forward in the world is hard, especially if you're young, have difficult family circumstances, have trouble with school and peers. Parents too have worries about their children and young people, they want the best but sometimes need a non judgemental, empathetic person to work through issues and challenges of modern life. Finding ways of relating to one another, gathering self-esteem and resilience are all part of the learning of the self.

As a high achiever you are used to success. You work hard, you enjoy work and you have meaningful relationships, but something is missing. You've tried all manner of ways to fill this gap - working more, working harder, prioritising your personal life, your health, your relationships - but it never quite fits. You wonder how you can achieve at work, but not in other areas of your life? Will it always be this exhausting? What if you could ditch the hustle and find a different way to show up in your life, your work, your relationships?

Life always throws us difficult stuff to deal with; it wouldn’t be life without it. Sometimes we can shrug these things off, yet at other times they can have an extremely debilitating effect upon us. Sometimes things happen and we bury them, they remain hidden but still exert a force upon us and our behaviour. They can influence us in ways that we would rather they didn’t. Sometimes these things come roaring back at us, out of the blue, unbidden and unwelcome. We all pass through stages in our life where we question everything around us, our relationships, our work, our behaviour and ultimately ourselves.

I offer you a safe place to explore your emotions and the issues that trouble you and will work with you to find solutions which will improve your life. Therapy with me is about preparing to make changes. I will help you release the thoughts that trouble you, your fears and despair and help you contain those most intense feelings so we can look deeper into the reasons why you are not functioning as you would like to. We can't always change the way those around us behave, but we can change our attitude to life and to others.
