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.

I provide an integrative counselling experience. This means I utilise aspects of several models of therapy to suit individual circumstances. It is unrealistic to expect one model of therapy to work for everyone therefore, having access to several models provides an approach that may be tailored to each individual's needs. Therapy should be a collaborative experience where we work together to find the right solutions. In doing so, I hope to find long-term answers for those tired of the 'revolving door' experience of counselling with symptoms being temporarily relieved but continually recurring.

You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, overthinking, low self-esteem or difficult experiences from your past that continue to affect you today. Perhaps you understand some of the reasons you feel this way, but knowing why hasn't been enough to change it. You might feel overwhelmed, disconnected, constantly on edge, or caught in patterns of thinking, relationships or behaviour that you can't seem to shift. You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. We can start with what is happening for you now, understand what may be driving it, and work together towards meaningful and lasting change.

As a registered clinical psychologist I have a passion for working with a wide range of emotional and behavioural difficulties, such as fear, anxiety, poor self-esteem, low mood, depression, panic attacks, bereavement, stress, difficulties in adjusting to life events and interpersonal difficulties. I know that deciding to seek help can be difficult, yet living with emotional difficulties can be even more challenging and draining. I want to empower you to find new ways of coping and being. This can mean learning new coping strategies, relating differently to your thoughts and emotions, and being more connected to others.

As a UKCP accredited and BACP Registered integrative therapist, I work with a wide range of issues. If you’re feeling disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns, I’m here to help you find your way back to your centre of gravity. Clients often choose me when they want to work deeply on challenging relationships, anxiety, trauma or burnout. I come from a North East working class family blighted by anxiety and intergenerational trauma. This led to my own therapy journey and to leaving my 17-year senior corporate career to retrain as the therapist I had needed in those times.

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.

People come to psychotherapy when life seems too much, when they feel stuck, find emotions overwhelming, or when they lose the sense of who they are. In therapy we explore together how life is for you, how you are living in the world, the choices you make, and what fears you may have around change. Starting therapy can be hard. I provide a confidential space where we can work with difficult emotions.

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.
