I have a keen interest in working with individuals who are seeking self-awareness. Art Therapy allows expression that is not based on spoken language only. You don't need any artistic skills or any previous experience in creative expression. I hope for clients to learn their own skills and tools to heal and transform and be their best possible self. I know how hard life can be due to situations from past and present that affect us.

Life can, at times, feel really difficult. Sometimes we can recognise an event in our lives such as stress at work, grief or relationship problems which has impacted us. At other times we may feel that we are on an emotional roller coaster and, for no particular reason, we notice feeling anxious about things that we used to take for granted like going out or seeing other people. My clients come to me for a safe, confidential space to understand themselves better, to learn to recognise and manage difficult emotions and find a way back to living a full and meaningful life.

I have over 20 years experience of working with children and young people with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties. CBT has been shown to be particularly helpful for those with all types of anxiety and depression. Working together, we would explore the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in order to develop different ways of managing emotions and strategies for coping. I work closely with parents and carers wherever possible in order to provide the best support for the child or young person but I’m guided by the individual needs of the young person.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with a range of issues, including anxiety and depression. Being heard and accepted for being who you truly are, can feel incredibly empowering. When this is taken away, our thoughts can trigger unhelpful behaviours, increasing low mood. Which in turn can play havoc with our emotions. When we feel lonely and isolated, overwhelming feelings can flood our thoughts and fears. I can offer you a safe, warm, and confidential space to explore any issues that may contribute towards your anxiety and depression. I am here to listen to you in an non-judgmental way.

I believe that at times, we all struggle with life difficulties and need someone who understand and sees us. There can be huge barriers to fairness in our society and this, along with the pressures of relationships, social media, work and expectations of others, can reduce our ability to cope alone. I believe that counselling can play a key role in helping us navigate these difficulties and face the future with a little more optimism.

Something specific may be on your mind or it might be something more general; you may be overwhelmed with anxious thoughts, depression or a sense that something just isn't quite right.

At times, we all need extra support; there are lots of reasons why people come in to counselling.

Looking after our mental health these days can be difficult, we can find ourselves prioritising other people and other commitments, leaving ourselves at the bottom of the pile.
Finding the right therapist and the right therapeutic space is an important part of the journey. It’s about giving yourself the time and permission to feel and acknowledge what’s there, to begin making sense of it. Therapy isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about creating a space where healing can happen at your pace, in your way. That first step, just showing up, is already something meaningful.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
