Counselling in Warwickshire

Life can be overwhelming at times and right now you might feel a mix of emotions that is difficult to make sense of. You might feel stuck in a situation or a cycle of negative thoughts and memories. Everyone’s experience is different and therapy can help you explore your feelings at your own pace and find your way forward. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to feel seen and heard. Together we can find ways to help you manage and overcome challenges you come across, find meaning and purpose in your life, understand and communicate your needs and improve your relationships.

You might at times become ‘stuck’ in your thinking or maybe feel ‘trapped’ in a cycle of behaviour or a life role. You might be struggling to find a way forward or feel challenged about exploring deeper router issues, talking face to face with a counsellor is a great way to move forward. As your counsellor my intention is to invite you to think about things differently, to help you to move forward and develop new strategies for living or maybe to offer you an alternative perspective on the things being considered and discussed, but I will always offer unconditional acceptance of you and your perspective on any material you bring.

I am an experienced and qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist working with adults who are affected by a wide range of issues, including trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety and depression. I offer a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to hear, understand and explore your experiences and feelings, and to support you in navigating difficult life choices, and reducing your emotional distress. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor, mentoring other counsellors. I am based in Rugby, Warwickshire, and offer face to face support, as well as sessions remotely by phone or online.

I am a fully qualified practitioner in the UK and in the USA, and I bring over 25 years' extensive experience in the field of Counselling, Psychotherapy, and Mental Health working with individuals in need.  I offer a professional and thoughtful approach to guide you through difficult emotions and experiences.  In addition to my Private Practice, I have also held a number of Clinical Management positions on a National and International scale.  With this level of experience, I am able to provide confident and skilled Counselling and Psychotherapy to help you with reactions and symptoms and to help you navigate unexpected events.

As a specialised counsellor for children and young people, I understand that it can be a difficult time for both parents and young individuals when they are struggling emotionally. Making the decision to see a counsellor and finding the right counsellor can feel daunting, but I am here to create a positive and supportive experience for both you and your child. I have experience working with a variety of presenting problems, including trauma, family conflict, bereavement, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, self-harm, and suicidal ideation.

I specialise in helping adults who have issues with self-harm and suicidal thoughts as well as those who have suffered trauma and abuse at any stage in their lives. I also welcome all those who identify as neurodivergent as I have considerable experience with those on the autistic spectrum. Having worked for a number of national mental health charities, I have seen the power of counselling from all sides. It can feel daunting to make contact with a therapist at first – this is a very common way to feel however finding the strength to do so is the first step towards changing your life.

I understand you may have various reasons for seeking support and I'm here to help you navigate through them. Whether you're feeling lost or disconnected, experiencing anxiety, depression or dealing with difficult past experiences, it might be the right time to explore and address these emotions. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, struggling with negative thoughts, or questioning why you can't seem to get things sorted. It's not uncommon to wish for better relationships and wonder why others appear happier, more successful, or more together.

I imagine you are considering how therapy may be supportive to you at this time. You could be experiencing specific difficulties, feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Maybe you are simply seeking more helpful and satisfying ways to live and improve professional or intimate realtionships. I welcome your unique concerns and offer a warm approach backed with clinical experience. I aim to offer a safe place where you feel respected and supported as we give attention to the challenges that may be at times difficult, uncomfortable or frustrating. Together we can work towards improved hope and outcomes that may be much needed or desired.

It can be hard to make contact with someone new and find courage to seek therapy. I always arrange an initial session where we can explore what you need, your expectations and if you have any particular concerns about counselling .This can help you work out if I am right for you and indeed for me to see if I feel I can help. I offer regular 50 minute counselling sessions to give you space to understand why you might feel the way you do and how you may begin to feel better. I can help you develop awareness of patterns from the past that may be effecting your life today so you can find ways to feel more in control of your present life

I love working with people, getting to know you and hearing your story. I believe that we are all unique. One of the things I love most about my work is the privilege of seeing someone begin to thrive and to enjoy their life again. I love helping to find some inner calm, clarity of thought and to be practicing self compassion as part of their everyday lives. I work in a bespoke way, tailor making my approach to each person. However, that said, everyone's needs compassion and so a compassion focused therapy approach runs through all of my work. I am most definitely a human first and a psychologist second.

Firstly I am here for YOU! You may find that you are struggling to believe in yourself? Or that your inner-confidence is on the floor and belief in your own abilities is suffering. You may feel you struggle to see yourself in a positive light, and to value yourself. Are you always putting other people’s feelings and needs before your own?

You may find you try and hide certain aspects of your personality, so that people don’t see the real you?

I work with a variety of age groups including: older adults, adults, adolescents and children suffering from anxiety disorders trauma, depression and other psychological disorders.

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with their song still inside them” Men don’t suffer more psychological disorders than women overall, however, the way men suffer them can be more destructive and problematic as they tend to externalise their suffering in the form of violence, substance abuse, anger, aggression, etc. Moreover, men’s psychological suffering is further compounded by men often hiding their issues and being reluctant to report symptoms. My mission is to work with men to help them become the type of man they want to be and so to lead their 'best lives'.
