Domestic Abuse Counselling in Twickenham
Many of my clients come feeling stuck in patterns they struggle to change; repeating unfulfilling relational dynamics, or relying on coping strategies that once felt protective but now feel limiting. You may feel unseen, exhausted by shame or self-criticism, or unsure how to trust your own boundaries and needs. For neurodivergent clients, these struggles can be intensified by years of masking, late diagnosis, and the pain of being misunderstood. Beneath it all is often a longing to feel more authentic, connected, and at home in yourself, and to create ways of living and relating that are more sustainable and real.

I offer a confidential sanctuary where you can explore the depths of your concerns without fear of judgment. The human experience is complex, filled with moments of joy, but also challenges that can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. With a wealth of experience in disability, bereavement, life transitions, mental health conditions and neurodiversity, I am adept at navigating the unique challenges faced by individuals in these communities. Having walked the path of someone who has been on the margins of society, I actively embrace minorities of all types.

I enjoy working with clients who want to understand what is making them feel unhappy/anxious/low/stuck and exploring how this links to their past and can be challenged in the now. I see therapy as shedding light on life events and areas of difficulty and gradually opening more doors and windows to new experiences whilst supporting the client in their growing autonomy, self-awareness and motivation to update their unhelpful and/or archaic beliefs.

Often people find that painful experiences and relationships in their past mean that things in the present can be complicated and sometimes hard to bear. They affect how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about the world and how we relate to other people we encounter. If we work together we’ll explore what brought you to therapy now and think together about where the difficulties in your present might have come from. I will listen very carefully to you in order to appreciate what you are feeling so that we can begin to see how you might find a greater freedom in your life.

I have extensive clinical experience of supporting adults presenting with issues which have included; a general sense that things are 'not right' with you, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, low mood, bereavement, experiences of all types of abuse, family difficulties, relationship struggles, low self-worth, personality disorders, feeling stuck or experiencing trauma.

Maybe you’re thinking and feeling things you don’t want to think or feel. Or maybe feeling nothing at all. Perhaps things keep going wrong; or perhaps nothing changes. It could be you feel you can’t cope. Or something has just come and hit you for six. Counselling is a safe place to explore things like that. It’s a place with the potential for personal change. Fortunately, we humans can change our minds. Literally. A fancy word for this is plasticity. Even more, we are designed to change in each other’s company. It’s how humans learn to fit in. So we make a new relationship, you and I, and this is our vehicle for change.

I work with highly driven professionals, entrepreneurs and people in demanding roles, often in tech, finance, law, media and the arts. Many are thoughtful, reflective and used to holding things together externally, while privately feeling tense, stuck, burnt out, emotionally shut down, or caught in patterns they understand clearly but cannot seem to change.

I wonder if you have been feeling sad, stressed or anxious? Have these feelings been with you for a long time? Are you wondering when they will reappear? It’s like dreading what is around the corner and finding it hard to enjoy or feel good in the present. Other people look like they’re having fun but your world is a shade of grey. Things that you loved doing no longer give you happiness and it's hard to concentrate. At times it takes lots of energy to go out or spend time with people who care about you. Your confidence and ability to cope disappear as you become stuck and the people around you become as worn down as you feel.

It can be really hard asking for help. It can be even harder to think about your own needs when you’re so used to caring for others. What if we’re seen as a failure for not being able to do it all on our own? It can make us feel stuck, trapped even, behind our own smiles and silence. But I see you and I hear you. Life doesn’t have to feel this way. A lot of my clients find it hard taking up space, who have built their lives on prioritising the needs and feelings of others, leading them struggling to identify let alone ask for what they want.

I work with families, couples and individuals. Specialising in relationships, anger, self-esteem issues, addictions and emotional difficulties, I help you have a better relationship with others as well as yourself. I work with you to explore and understand your struggles, repeating patterns and find ways to change them or adapt them to make them helpful. Couples tend to argue in a cyclic nature without ever resolving their arguments. I work with couples to understand this cycle and how to exit it. Individuals can also get stuck in repeating patterns. Examining them, understanding them and working through them brings change.
