Whether you're seeking support for a particular issue, struggling with a painful event or simply wanting more from life, counselling and psychotherapy can help you gain a deeper awareness and understanding of yourself, your relationships with others and your place in the world. Whatever you're experiencing, the therapeutic relationship nurtures a confidential space where you're truly listened to, and met with a balance of warmth, empathy and respectful challenge. In giving attention to whatever is painful and difficult, it can enable the emergence of a stronger sense of self, and connection with meaning, purpose, potential and hope.

How would you feel if I told you that you can stop feeling scared, unsafe and overwhelmed ? That you could connect with those around you in an authentic and meaningful way, rather than masking yourself because you fear losing them ? I can tell you this as I have supported many people like yourself, living with complex trauma to let go of the patterns that are keeping them low, anxious, dissociated, paranoid and lonely. I work with people just like you to firstly understand what has happened to them and how the strategies they are currently using have come to be. I then work to introduce new ways of being in the world.

Online, outdoor and face-to-face. I am AuDHD. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself, just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers. I offer a safe space where you identify any learnt messages and separate them from who you really are, not who you have become, by trying to conform and please the world and others. Through an ND-affirmative therapeutic lens, I support you in recognising and celebrating your differences while understanding the effect of social expectations and judgements on how you view those differences. You are the expert on you, but you may have just lost your voice.

We all have different reasons why we might be considering starting the counselling process. It could be that you need some temporary support for an issue that you are currently struggling with. Or you may feel that it is time to address something that you have been carrying with you for a long time. Whatever your reasons, finding a safe space to talk freely about what is on your mind could be the first step towards feeling brighter and lighter. Whether you have a clear goal in mind of what you want out of therapy or whether you want to give it a try and see where it takes you, I am here to offer you support on that journey.

I work with couples, individuals and students from yr6 upwards. My training allows me to support clients to change, by raising their awareness of what they're doing and the effect of their choices on them and others. The main areas I look at are communication, how they listen and respond to others and why they respond in that way. Once the client is aware of where the response is coming from they can begin to adjust it, to fit the situation in front of them. I work with couples and children experiencing separation and loss either now or in the past, and help them to understand and regulate their feelings.

Hi. Deciding to try counselling can be quite a daunting experience, so I aim to provide a calm, welcoming space free of judgement for you to explore whatever issues you are facing. You may wish to make some changes in your life, or have a space to talk and make sense of things, counselling can be helpful with either. I've worked with a wide range of adult clients, with issues such as low mood, anxiety, relationship difficulties, stress, problems at work and bereavement and loss. I've also worked a lot with young people, in a school and college, also a wellbeing drop in for young people, so I'm happy to see any young person over 14.

Psychological and emotional distress are part of being human, I can help you identify and clarify the distress, then think about goals and changes that would be helpful to make. Together we find the barriers to these changes and work creatively to overcome them. I base my approach in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; CBT. This therapy continues to develop and be successfully adapted to a wide range of presentations and clinical situations, its strength being that it combines making flexible, practical changes which fit in with your values. Over time we can get used to doing things one way and sometimes need help to find alternatives.

Historic experiences can impact our emotions and behaviours, often many years after the events. I’m here to provide a safe space to explore and make sense of what happened to you. We’ll work together to explore ways to manage the psychological and physiological effects of trauma, and develop your confidence to cope and overcome difficulties. I support people who have anxiety, depression, flashbacks and ptsd. It is important to me to understand what is important to you. I will support and empower you to live your life in accordance with your own values and beliefs, rather than the difficulties that have been getting in your way.

Do you feel tense and stressed? Ruminate on the past and worry about the future? Does your heart beat faster when you're feeling anxious? You don't have to deal with your emotions alone. It can feel very freeing to talk to someone who listens without judgement and criticism. In fact, many clients tell me it's easier to talk about problems and worries to me, an impartial counsellor, rather than friends or family. I work in a very gentle and caring way and I will listen to whatever you bring with respect and compassion. We can explore how you are feeling and the underlying causes to help you find coping strategies and solutions.
