We can all have difficulties in everyday life and encounter problems that we simply find hard to cope with alone. You may feel worried, anxious, low, confused, isolated or may be experience difficulties in relationships. You may be suffering from feelings of low self esteem or low self confidence. You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, depression, or maybe you are just feeling sad. When these feelings and thoughts persist and become overwhelming it may be difficult to know which way to turn.

There is no right or wrong personal issue to bring to therapy, it is not always clear why we feel the way we do, or why we keep repeating patterns of relating to others that leave us frustrated, or lonely or confused. Each experience of therapy will be unique, it is an opportunity to explore how and why we may feel the way we do in a supportive space. I support adult individuals with a range of concerns and struggles, some of the concerns I have been consulted on include difficulties in connecting and relating to others, experiences of loss, parenting, anxiety, isolation, feeling different, identity and depression.

Maybe you’re exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone, or feel disconnected from who you really are. You may be carrying trauma or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I offer a space where you can soften, feel met, and begin to listen to what’s really going on inside. This is a space for the parts of you that long to be heard.

Looking for a therapist can be quite daunting. It's not like looking for an accountant or other professional. The relationship with the therapist is a deeply personal one. It's important to find someone who can understand you and can also see things you can't see for yourself, so that you can be supported in making the changes you seek to make. That's why I offer an initial free chat to begin with. I am a very experienced psychotherapist and group analyst, with 26 years experience of working in NHS and private practice. I am analytically trained and help you to explore and discover yourself at a deeper level.

I am warm and listen with attention and care. I am also not afraid to challenge negative beliefs and behaviours if they are unhelpful. With me, you will have a true experience of healing and understanding in a deep and authentic relationship. Through my own counselling following a loss, I learnt how valuable therapy can be in helping people to heal and to live a fuller and happier life. It opened my eyes to a new way of seeing things and I enjoy enabling this liberating possibility for others in my work.

Hoarding Counsellors
What is the most effective treatment for hoarding?
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been well-studied in the treatment of hoarding. This type of therapy includes changing beliefs surrounding possessions, as well as learning how to discard items and reduce acquisitions. The hoarder may also gain much-needed organizational skills. Another useful therapy may be compassion-focused therapy, which can address emotion regulation and negative self-perception.

How long does therapy for hoarding take?
Although treatment can vary, most people demonstrate improvement after 23 sessions, with some showing improvement after just a few sessions. Researchers have developed a 26-session cognitive behavioral program. People who hoard may need “maintenance” sessions over the years if the problem arises repeatedly.

Are there medications for hoarding?
The more commonly-prescribed medications for hoarding are including antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). This can include drugs such as venlafaxine and paroxetine. And because hoarding disorder is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder, medications for OCD, such as clomipramine, may be effective for hoarding as well.

Can hoarding come back after treatment?
Hoarding is a chronic disorder and it can last throughout an individual’s lifetime. Regularly checking in with a psychotherapist can help manage symptoms long-term. A good therapist will help the person learn needed skills including decision-making, organization, and stress reduction. The patient will gain a better perspective and the need to cling to useless items will lessen.
