I provide a caring, safe space to allow clients to explore issues that may be preventing them leading a fulfilling life.
I have many years experience of working with domestic violence and women’s groups. I have also worked extensively with physical, mental and sexual abuse. I work using a variety of techniques to fit the need of the client. More recently I have found that adding meditation to run alongside Counselling has great results with some clients.

Most people experience problems at some time in their lives, many experience regular recurring difficulties. If you are wondering if Counselling will help, then maybe it is time to try it. I aim to provide a warm and welcoming environment where people feel safe to explore whatever reasons/issues brought them to personal therapy.

Through my own personal life experience and mental health challenges, counselling and psychotherapy has given a life perspective I would have never imagined before.
I work with an integrative counselling approach for a range of life issues. This starts with an exploration of the presenting problem(s), linking in past experiences to the present, to formulate goals for therapy going forward. I cater to the personal needs of each client in order to unlock their full potential.

‘We all need someone to talk to some of the time’ and across the multi-dimensional layers of personality and global connectedness, to be human means we will be faced with situations and events during our lifetime that we believe a hundred percent, we will have little or no chance of sorting out or finding solutions to. The truism is there are always solutions, some more easily achievable and likeable, others less so. Nonetheless these too are solutions and place ALL at the doorway of all possibility. The wisdom then is to stand in the doorway to commence the healing transformations of finding answers and pathways towards resolution.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specialising in EMDR therapy and EMDR-informed coaching.
You may look like you’re coping well on the outside, but inside feel anxious, exhausted or close to burnout. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning professionals who carry a lot of responsibility, struggle to switch off, and feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, pressure or emotional overload. You might be dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep problems or the lingering impact of past experiences, and want things to feel calmer, clearer and more sustainable again.

Trained in understanding CBT, NLP, Coaching, and Mental Wellbeing in Children and Young People, means that I offer an integrative approach to my practice.
Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
