I offer face to face therapy sessions in a lovely relaxing wellbeing building in Skipton and have spaces on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays.
Thank you for looking at my profile. My offer of support comes to you from a firm understanding that life issues can tip us up and affect our health and wellbeing. These maybe experiences of loss, trauma, abuse, ill health, rejection, deception as well as other experiences, leading to anxiety, stress, overwhelm or feeling stuck.
I work and have worked with clients struggling with a variety of life issues and seeing these experiences through the eyes of my clients and understanding the importance of having a safe, non judgemental space to explore where they are at in their journey helping them to accept, heal and move forwards.

I work in person from my offices in Skipton and Ilkley and online via Zoom.
All of us have our periods of struggle. Life has a habit of throwing things at us - stress, loss, bereavement, anxiety, relationship troubles - that can throw us off course.
Relationships are tough; work and family too. But you don't have to manage it all on your own. Talking to me about your anxiety, depression, anger, stress, addictions or loss can help plot a path through life's difficult times and rediscover yourself.
Working together in a calm, focused way, we can understand your unique patterns and needs, find coping strategies, and look at ways to change the things we can, and accept the things we can't.

I can see you in person on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
As a person-centred Play Therapist I accept every child as they are, meeting them at their unique developmental level. If difficult things have happened to a child, and they're feeling anxious and unhappy, then play therapy could be a gentle way to overcome this. Gradually, most children I work with start to feel more empowered, and grow in self-awareness. The therapeutic space between me and my clients, also the very young ones, is confidential and safe. Children will feel relaxed enough to play what they cannot say; over time they will process their feelings, and play their way to feeling better.

I offer sessions in person or online, with daytime, evening and weekend appointments, tailored to your individual needs and requirements.
You already know something needs to change, the question is, what's really keeping you where you are? Maybe the same thoughts, emotions, relationships or behaviours keep repeating, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected or frustrated despite your best efforts. Perhaps you've reached a point where life no longer feels aligned with who you are or the person you want to become. If you're ready to stop simply managing life and start understanding what's truly driving it, you'll begin reconnecting with yourself, making choices with greater confidence, and creating a life that feels authentic, fulfilling and truly your own.

Every child experiences and make sense of the world around them in a unique way. If a child is feeling anxious, unhappy or struggling with something, play and creative arts therapy can give them a safe and accepting space to explore their feelings at their own pace.
With my support alongside them, children can begin to process their emotions and gradually discover different ways of thinking and being.
My aim is always to meet each child where they are — emotionally and developmentally — so that they can feel more empowered, grow in self-awareness and develop a stronger sense of security in themselves and the world around them.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
