Counselling is for anyone who feels they need help. The therapeutic journey is different for everyone, and my process is tailored to you as an individual. I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, including Person-Centred, DBT, CBT, and Psychodynamic modalities. I also offer specialist therapy for emotional regulation issues due to ADHD, ASD and BPD. Contrary to popular belief, counselling doesn’t always have to be long-term for you to experience meaningful growth and positive change. Alongside my private practice, I also run an affordable counselling service for those who cannot afford private care.

Every individual brings a unique set of issues, but it's usually mental or emotional distress that leads you to seek therapy. Some short-term relief can be gained, but developing your strength and inner emotional resources can take time, so you can confront and manage your challenges.

We go to the dentist to check and care for our teeth and the optician to check and care for our eyes; why not prioritise our minds - the most important part of us. The decision to go to therapy could be following a life event, because something doesn’t feel right or because we feel stuck in life and in these moments, it can be powerful to explore it further. I support a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, loss, trauma, depression and problems with confidence or self-esteem.

People often come to me when they feel stuck in patterns —especially in relationships, emotions, or how they cope with life. You might look as if you’re managing on the outside, but inside feel anxious, low, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
Many people I work with are living with the impact of trauma, struggling with relationship difficulties, or feeling that life has lost meaning or direction,
I have worked in mental health since the late 1990s, initially as a registered mental health nurse, and later as a psychotherapist.
Therapy helps you understand these patterns, so you can start changing how you relate to yourself and others.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse).

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by life, feelings of anxiety and depression disrupting our wellbeing, making us feel less than acceptable to ourselves and others. Difficult or traumatising experiences in the past can leave us feeling stuck, alone, fearful or angry. We might be stuck in a flight/flight/freeze response blighting our ability to be in the present moment unable to lean into the people in our lives.

Personality Disorders Counsellors
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
