Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counselling in Swindon

I am a highly skilled Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years experience of working with adults in the NHS. I have specific expertise in working with people with trauma related mental health conditions such as PTSD, childhood trauma, domestic violence, dissociative difficulties and psychosis. I work with clients to gain a greater understanding of their difficulties and to develop strategies to support them to move forwards with their goals and reclaim their life.

Are you or your child struggling? At times we can all experience anxiety, stress, depression, feeling sad, anger or family or relationship issues which make us feel alone. Sometimes we can become trapped by this and feel unable to move forward, whatever age we are! If this is you, you are not alone. The most up to date statistics tell us, 30% people will experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives especially in wintertime Together we will seek to understand the problem you are facing whether this is caused by current issues or events from your past. We will find new ways and skills to deal with your feelings.

Clients of all ages come to me with a range of issues and experiences – family difficulties, loss, anxiety, low mood, trauma … and just as often with more general feelings of unease and isolation that can be hard to pin down with words. Clients often appreciate space to reflect on their identity and their place in the world. One of the greatest privileges in my work is to support families working through past and present hurts to heal relationships, through empathy and authentic communication. I am experienced in working with foster carers and children in care, using an approach informed by Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP).
