WPA Counselling in Wakefield
ONLINE: Therapy for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed or misunderstood
I am a Chartered and Registered Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience. I work with individuals who may appear strong on the outside but internally carry stress, shame or a sense of feeling “stuck.” You may have coped alone for a long time, or felt misunderstood in past therapy. I offer a calm, safe space to explore complex feelings and patterns — especially for those who find it hard to trust or fear judgement, and who want to understand themselves more deeply, not just ‘cope’. Therapy here is not about perfection — it’s about honest transformation.

Clinical Psychologist specialising in anxiety, trauma and mind–body health.

I have a particular interest in supporting adults and older people. If you’re tired of pushing through, therapy can help you feel calmer, more in control, and able to move forward.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside—but inside feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift.
Many of the people I work with are used to holding everything together for others, while quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, or the impact of past experiences
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
I work with people who have experienced trauma in many forms—whether from childhood, relationships, family issues, work, or life events that left a lasting impact. Often, this trauma shows up in the present as anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, low self-worth, or feeling “stuck.”

My clients have been holding it together for a long time. Functioning, often capable, but carrying something underneath that won't shift. Some are under relentless professional pressure. Others carry trauma from earlier in life, childhood experiences, abuse, or relationships that left a mark. What they share is that getting by isn't enough anymore. They're tired of managing. They're ready to move forward. Many have tried talking therapy. Some found it helpful up to a point. Others felt understood but unchanged. They come to me wanting something that works at a deeper level, without having to relive every detail.
