WPA Counselling in Thame

I work for AXA, Bupa, Cigna and WPA.
You’re tired of feeling this way—and not fully understanding why. You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, not good enough, or stuck in the same patterns—especially in relationships. Maybe you overthink everything. Maybe you people-please, doubt yourself, or feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough” at the same time. Often, these patterns don’t come out of nowhere. They’re shaped by early experiences—growing up in environments where you were criticised, dismissed, or didn’t feel safe to fully be yourself.

Hi, I’m a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and EMDR psychotherapist. I believe that caring for your emotional and mental well-being is essential — it influences how you think, feel, and behave, and ultimately shapes your quality of life.

Therapy can help when life is tough. In these strange and difficult times you may be feeling anxious, troubled, sad, depressed, overwhelmed, stuck or unfulfilled. I offer a supportive, confidential and open-minded space to explore life's difficulties, confusions and uncertainties. A space to be heard, to speak, feel and think freely, perhaps for the first time. Existential therapy can help you face your struggles and understand the choices open to you. Working together our purpose is to realise new understandings and ways of being so you can live a richer more fulfilling life. No subject is off limits.

Therapy means different things to different people. For some, it's about changing a particular behaviour or learning to better manage emotions. For others, it's a space to unpack experiences and gain deeper understanding. Sometimes it's all of these—or something else entirely. My strength lies in helping clients explore, reflect and make sense of their inner world. I aim to create a space that’s safe, accepting, and non-directive, so we can work together to understand why you feel, think, or behave the way you do. Through insight, we can uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others, helping you move toward the life you want.

You show the world a smiling face and they see your successes, but they don't see what's underneath. You feel anxious, self-critical or constantly "on" inside. Your perfectionism, high expectations, or past experiences leave you feeling uneasy, exhausted and even disconnected from yourself and those around you. You long for change but feel stuck and unsure where to start. Another part of you quietly wishes for a space where you can slow down, be real, and be heard without judgement. Whether you have a clear focus or simply sense that something needs to shift, let's explore it together at your pace.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and I realise that therapy can be a new and unusual approach for people. I often work with folk who are finding things hard, and need a neutral form of support. I can offer direct support, teaching and practice in cognitive and behavioural techniques, or relaxation and mindfulness ideas to help. The goals that a person wants to work towards might be crystal clear to them, or they might refine these as we work together.

Are you baffled by your relationship with a narcissist? Are you exhausted by the mind games, gaslighting, and deceit? Have your friends grown tired of hearing you talk about the same issues? Don't worry, you're not alone. Narcissistic abuse is real and NOT all therapists get it. Narcs are sly, conniving, and incredibly devious. Until you've experienced their abuse, it's hard to understand. This often leads to victims feeling increasingly isolated, which exacerbates the narcissist's control and creates fertile ground for further abuse. It's no wonder such relationships compromise your sanity.
