I also work with anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
Experiencing major changes can be daunting, frustrating and generate fear alongside self-doubt. If you are looking to make changes, face up to change, explore identity and self-esteem or have reached your limits in one or more life areas then you don't have to face this alone. You will have control over your therapy and gain a voice as well as perspective. If you are willing to make the most of what you learn in therapy then you are more likely to make progress that lasts and changes your life for the better. I offer Clinical Supervision and outdoor therapy too. I have worked for GPs, IAPT, hospitals and EAPs.

You may simply feel “stuck” with a life situation or perhaps you have been struggling with fear, doubt, anxiety, low self image.
I have varied life experience and there’s not many things that shock or surprise me. I am a person of integrity and we will carefully consider what is disturbing your peace and wellbeing. I have an extensive tool kit in helping you and my skill set is quite unique, just like you. I’m a Christian but religion won’t appear in therapy unless you want it to.

I offer specialist assessment and treatment for people experiencing persisting anxiety based problems, trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, including functional neurological disorders (FND) and non-epileptic seizures (NEAD).
Psychological treatment for persisting problems commonly involves exploring the roots of what maintains the difficulty. This often requires integrating techniques from different therapy approaches, tailored to your individual needs. The main aim of therapy is to help you to more fully understand yourself and improve your psychological and emotional health.
