If you feel a sense of inner fragmentation or that something is missing – if descriptions like stress, anxiety or depression don’t quite express your experience of feeling lost, stuck or disconnected - you are not alone. It is more common than you might think. But you’re not a problem to be fixed. We will look beyond symptoms to see you, to quieten the internal noise so that you can hear your own voice, better understand who you are and cultivate choice and agency. We work together to build an integrated identity that can hold both your history and the emerging potential of who you are becoming.

Life brings all sorts of challenges and some can be much harder to overcome than others. Most adults can remember a time when they were dealing with a situation so tough that everyday living became more challenging than usual. For children and young people, who have not had time to develop their own coping strategies, such situations are even more difficult to cope with. Many children who are having a difficult time do not know what it is that they are feeling and cannot put it into words. Counselling for children and young people might be slightly different to the traditional idea of therapy you may have in mind.

Are you wondering why becoming a parent feels so different from what you expected? Or questioning whether you want children at all? Pregnancy, infertility, miscarriage, later motherhood, early parenthood, relationship strain, or raising a child away from family can quietly unsettle your foundation. These experiences often bring loneliness, resentment, guilt, numbness, or doubt. You may love your child deeply and still feel overwhelmed. You may question your relationship. You may question yourself.

Welcome! Are you looking for someone who listens with empathy but who will also intervene with strategies and tools during sessions? For tasks and experiments to carry out between sessions? My approach is both interactive and practical. I aim to thoroughly understand the issues and then to help adults, teenagers and couples towards creative change through a variety of approaches, tailored to their particular situations. I also offer supervision to other therapists. You can book a free 20 minute phone call to 'check me out' and for me to assess whether I think I can help you. After that sessions are 1 hour, usually fortnightly.

Welcome. Everyone has times in life when their mental health is particularly challenging and they face emotional or psychological difficulties. If that describes you here and now, it can be helpful to seek support to become more aware of the impact of past life experiences, how those events still influence how you are in the world today and explore your thoughts and feelings around options for making changes in the future. Your issues, needs and goals could arise from your working life, personal life or a combination of both. You could be looking for more immediate help or seeking to better understand deeper, long-standing issues.

Christian Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same belief system or background to be able to work effectively together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience in tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of culture, religion, and other factors on each individual.

Why is it important to find a therapist sensitive to Christian values?
Each person brings a unique history and background to therapy, making it important to find a licensed therapist who is trained in a broad range of treatment modalities. In addition, for people who grow up in a faith tradition that strongly influences the way they conduct their everyday life, finding a therapist who understands or shares that background can ease the disclosure of sensitive information and facilitate the therapeutic process. For some clients, a Christian therapist is likely to incorporate faith-based principles into emotional healing techniques.

How do I recognise an effective Christian therapist?
Christian therapists are licensed mental health professionals—holding a master’s or doctoral degree in medicine, nursing, psychology, counseling, social work, or marriage and family therapy—who are also familiar with Christian beliefs and values. They have an understanding of the importance that Christian principles play in the lives of individuals and families, which allows them to be especially sensitive to the kinds of struggles that can affect daily functioning. Like all effective therapists, a Christian therapist will have undergone training and certification in a variety of treatment modalities that help people through crises and enable them to master the challenges of life.

Why might someone feel comfortable with a Christian therapist?
While training, qualifications, and experience are always important, research has long established that a strong alliance between client and therapist is a major contributor to therapeutic success. An alliance is likely to be strengthened with a therapist who not only is responsive to questions and concerns but also shares a client’s faith and values. Sensitivity to spiritual matters as well as to everyday struggles can provide a welcome sense of safety and contribute to the bond between client and therapist, both of which support the therapeutic process.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Christian therapists?
The directory of Christian therapists includes professionals who have shared their background in their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Christian clients, regardless of their own background or religious affiliation.
