I work with children, young people and their families, often when things are feeling difficult or overwhelming. Some of the reasons families have worked with me include: support to understand and manage feelings of anxiety, depression or frustration; difficulties with emotion-regulation; and difficulties within family relationships, including parent-infant and parent-child relationships.

Not as sure of yourself as you used to be, not feeling good about how your life or relationships have turned out, yearning for something but not sure what that is or just recognising that you no longer want to put up with the feelings, thoughts or that way your body feels. These kinds of experiences are a part what it is to be human and when we're ready to change, it's good to have help. With me its a collaborative effort in which I learn about you and you find out more about yourself; what you want, what's blocking that and how you might resolve those blocks, make changes and realise more of your potential.

Counsellor, MBACP Accred
Stroud GL5
I am a full-time counsellor, supervisor and mental health trainer working in private practice for Bupa, AXA, private clients and many other insurers.
My clients are people who are quietly struggling. They show up well in the world — at work, in relationships, in the roles they play — but something underneath isn't right. Stress and anxiety are often present, though they rarely arrive with those labels. More often they show up as overthinking, difficulty switching off, a sense of never quite feeling settled, self-destructive patterns, or a nagging feeling that life should feel different to this. I also work with couples who have reached a point where the same arguments keep happening and something needs to change.

You may be experiencing difficulties with worry, negative self-talk or confidence. You may have noticed a change in how you’re reacting to things such as checking more or avoiding certain situations. People often describe this as a vicious cycle that’s hard to break. Whether it’s been going on for a while or something new, we work together to understand what your unhelpful cycles look like and how we can break them by creating healthier habits and patterns of thinking. This helps alleviate symptoms of anxiety or depression, leaving you better equipped to manage difficult emotions.

Is your mental health suffering? Does life often feel frustrating, confusing, or even unbearable at times? Through empathy, authenticity and the safety of a non-judgemental space, we can explore whatever is coming up for you. It is within this safe space that the self can be explored and self awareness can grow. I have experience working with many different themes, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss/bereavement, self-harm, suicidal ideation, domestic/sexual abuse, identity, gender/sexuality, and hopelessness. I believe it is an honour and a privilege to be able to hold space for you through your circumstances.

As a Trauma Neuropsychologist, I have been working with people who experienced trauma in their life, supporting adjustment and coping with the effects of the resulting neurological and health conditions they experience. I have specialised in brain injury and physical trauma rehabilitation and helped clients making sense of what have happened to them and how to be able to meet the values they are no longer able to reach. People who experience anxiety and depression following trauma often get stuck, do not recognise themselves and become unable to find meaning in a life that feels lost to them. A new path needs to be found.

I accept self-funding clients and those registered with the insurance companies BUPA, WPA, Vitality Health, Axa and Aviva.
Are you tired of putting on a brave face when inside you wish the world would just swallow you up at times? Perhaps you struggle to feel good about yourself, your body or your life and carry the burden of shame, regret or frustration about this. Maybe you dwell on the past, worry about the future or over-analyse everything you do harshly and critically. Do things all seem a bit grey sometimes? You might be in your head a lot & perhaps you've learnt ways to protect yourself or cope (that may be having unintended consequences). You may understandably long for life to feel pleasurable, hopeful and meaningful again.
