Hello! I am here to offer a listening ear and for you to borrow my brain in relation to your mental and emotional distress. Together we will look into what is troubling you, while also looking through the filter of human emotional needs that innately require to be met. We'll then access your innate resources and I'll coach you through getting your needs met. If necessary I can utilise unique methods to deal with PTSD, trauma, cPTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias and many more issues beyond, to bring you to contentment, while learning how to access that in the future too.

Hello. As an experienced psychotherapist, I can help you manage current life challenges like sudden changes or losses; anxiety; relationship issues; bereavement; loneliness; parenthood; depression or past experiences intruding on your present. Sometimes clients come with a more general sense of unfulfilment or want to know themselves better. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to share your load, rather than carrying it alone. Psychotherapy offers vital connection, support and opportunity to work things through with an empathic, trained professional totally unconnected to your life.

Counselling can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and begin to understand what’s happening beneath the surface—in a way that respects your pace. I support healing from difficult thoughts and emotions, exploring the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing, and building practical tools to care for your wellbeing beyond counselling. My approach is holistic, integrative, and tailored to you, with the goal of creating sustainable wellbeing. I work with adults, young people, and couples. If you’re unsure about counselling, an initial session offers an opportunity to explore whether this feels like the right fit for you.

I specialise in treating insomnia and chronic sleep problems, having received training from the University of Oxford in the "gold standard" of insomnia treatment, CBTi.
My approach is one of compassion, curiosity and warmth. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy; you are the expert in your experience, while I have knowledge and skills to help you understand why you think, feel and act the way you do. Together we can explore your experience and formulate your difficulties, so that you can gain clarity on what might be keeping you “stuck” in unhelpful patterns and make changes in order to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I believe the ultimate goal in life is to become more and more yourself and that being able to live authentically is what makes us most fulfilled.

I commonly work with clients with symptoms of PTSD and/or Eating Disorders. I also work with people with other anxiety disorders and depression. People accessing my support are often looking to come to terms with traumatic events, or may be looking to overcome issues they face with eating such as restricted eating, fear of weight gain or over eating. It may also be that clients are looking for more general stress management, worry management or to address a specific phobia. Overall, however, people are often accessing therapy to achieve a particular set of goals so that they can function better and be happier in themselves.

You might be a couple stuck in conflict, distance, or betrayal — or an individual trying to make sense of a painful relationship, loss, or past experience that keeps replaying, or struggling with anxiety, mood, or psychological and emotional difficulties. Either way, you’ve reached the point where coping alone isn’t enough. You want clarity, change, and a way forward that feels honest and workable, and actionable — not just more “coping.” You’re looking for therapy that’s practical, and genuinely helps you understand what’s going wrong and what to do about it.

So I have a young person aged 15. There is evidence of self harm and 2 overdoses -neither life threatening but a call for ' I need help and to be listened to'. I need to look at where these issues are coming from, is there intent to commit suicide, give that young person tools and strategies for doing something differently when there is a possibility for further self harm. They want an alternative so we look at triggers, noticing what is happening inside their body, what their negative automatic thoughts are, We set SMART goals, from something very small -they need to be able to achieve the goals, and then increase these slowly.

It means I work with people who want to explore particular issues, how they've been feeling, or how they’ve ended up feeling stuck — whether that’s to do with present-day challenges or things from the past.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
