It can be a daunting, nervous and courageous step when accessing psychological support and reading this means that you have already thought about this, which is an achievement! It can sometimes be difficult to prioritise and give importance to our own needs, it can make us feel guilty or undeserving. However, I believe self-care and self-love, are at the root of living a healthy well-being. I have a positive working attitude and strongly believe in creating an open and honest therapeutic relationship. I use different psychological frameworks and tailor my approach to effectively support my clients with their psychological distress.

People seek counselling and psychotherapy for various reasons. Not everyone knows what is bothering them. Often it is the difficulties and challenges of daily life that become overwhelming and unmanageable, impacting relationships, work and decision making. It is sometimes beyond the control of the individual to address those issues without professional help.

Hello and welcome to my profile. You've taken the most important first step to finding some help. Life can be pretty tough at times. Hard feelings do pass, but sometimes we get stuck and need help to gain insight and options to manage those feelings. I provide a safe space for you to explore what is going on. I work in a mindful way to reduce any anxiety you may be feeling and, if you would like, we can be creative using visualisation, art materials and toys to help you unlock things that you may not be able to put into words.

Psychotherapist, MA, GMBPsS
I support individuals and couples facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and early childhood challenges. A key focus of my work is supporting relationships that are experiencing strain or disconnection. This may include communication breakdown, where conversations become difficult, unproductive or conflict-driven; a decline in intimacy, where emotional or physical closeness has faded; or broken trust, including the complex and often painful aftermath of affairs. I help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviours, while guiding you to develop practical skills to cope, repair and move forward.

Life can be difficult, at times it may seem impossible. Deciding that counselling or psychotherapy might be helpful for you or your child can be a big decision. As can be finding the right person to work with. I aim to help people find their own way forward by working with them in a warm, compassionate and considerate way. I am familiar and adept at working with the impact of childhood and more recent trauma and have an in-depth understanding of autism, ADHD and other forms of neurodiversity and the challenges that they can bring.

Chartered Counselling Psychologist specialised in Anxiety, Self-Criticism & Trauma: You might look like you're coping, but inside you're anxious, overwhelmed or exhausted from trying to keep everything together. You may overthink, doubt yourself, or feel you're never quite good enough. You may have become very good at holding things together for everyone else, while being much harder on yourself. You may find yourself caught in cycles of worry, self-criticism, perfectionism or trying to stay in control, even when these ways of coping are leaving you exhausted.

Psychologist, MA, HCPC - Couns. Psych.
If work has pushed you past your limits, you may recognise the pattern. Exhausted but wired. Irritable with people you care about. Unable to switch off, and starting to wonder whether this is burnout or something more like depression. Many of my clients are professional men who carried this for a long time before contacting anyone. Therapy with me is confidential and practical, and we work to a plan agreed between us.

Taking the first step into therapy can feel daunting, especially if you’re used to coping on your own. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that are getting you down. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it by yourself. Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or others. You may have an idea of what feels wrong, but feel unsure how to move forward, or whether change is possible.
