In life we can become stuck, lost or we might just want to change something because it isn’t working anymore. I offer therapy as a safe space for you to come and talk to me about whatever it is you need to, without being judged or criticised. I am trained as an integrative therapist and draw from a range of different therapeutic theories, from attachment theory to trauma work and the affects trauma can have on the body. I’m aware that, sometimes, we can’t find the words to explain or express our feelings and so, if this happens, I will also offer you the option to work creatively, with art materials or sand trays.

I have worked with many clients over the years where a trigger, for example a job promotion, or a difficult relationship with a manager or a significant life event, have resulted in emotional distress such as anxiety, depression and self-doubt. I offer my clients a way of understanding this and the tools to manage their feelings so that they can reach their life goals. With the help of therapy, my highly motivated clients have found ways to feel more content, have more satisfying relationships with others, enjoy life more and have a deeper understanding of their strengths and areas of vulnerability.

Together we will work to find the root of your challenges by exploring repeating patterns in your life, your beliefs, emotional attachments, and anything that may have stopped you from being your best self and living a life of satisfaction and contentment.

Are you upset and overwhelmed by relationships, work situations, family issues? That sense of panic and over thinking where your body feels stressed & the anxiety rockets? Did something happen that you have not shared with anyone, or feel nobody ‘gets it’? Has it felt too big & yet needs sorting and resolving? It’s understandable to feel frustrated, anxious or angry. Dealing with those feelings while maintaining a family, job & ‘a busy life’ can feel like hard work. “There needs to be more to life” & “It needs to be better than this “ are often said. To feel free from the past, to build a confidence in yourself.

Taking the step to ask for help is often the hardest thing we do. I think as adults we feel as if we "should be able to cope" or "others have it harder" and that in some way needing help or someone to talk to in difficult times is showing a weakness. We invest time and money in keeping our bodies in shape and while that is the vehicle that gets us through our life we need to care for our other parts too. Our emotions and our relationships constantly need recognition and yet we only seek help when we reach a crisis point. So whether you are at a crisis point or struggling with anxiety, depression or a bereavement I am here to help.

Problems are personal, bereavement, depression, stress, relationship breakdowns and anxiety can all feel unbearable and isolating. The reasons for seeking counselling or psychotherapy are as unique and varied as we are. Sometimes we have an idea of what is annoying or upsetting us. Sometimes we struggle to understand issues that darken our days. We might enter a cycle of blame or self-loathing in which we get lost, finding it difficult to move forwards in our lives.
