I also intergrate acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion approaches.
I work with clients who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, and trauma/PTSD. You may have been through some difficult times in your life that you are struggling to understand or move past. For some this could be showing up as poor motivation, feeling low or hopeless, and not enjoying things anymore. For others they might be feeling on edge all the time, or be having nightmares, or be worried constantly. However you are feeling therapy can help to explore what is happening for you, and with some skills and a large dose of compassion move towards feeling better.

I offer support for those who feel squeezed out of traditional spaces or have fallen through the gaps in the system. It's time to reclaim your life.
I specialise in working with: LGBTQIA+ adults, neurodivergent adults, eating disorders, supporters/families of above.
You may want to come to me to talk about struggles around sexuality, gender or relationships or you may want to talk to me about something else safe in the knowledge that I’m not going to try to pin your struggles down to an aspect of your identity that you’re perfectly comfortable with (as many people have reported with non-queer therapists).

I think sometimes we just reach that place in life when we say 'enough is enough'. For some it can mean it is time to stop and face something, and to someone else it can mean it is maybe time to 'let it go'. There's no end to the potential meanings for reaching 'that point'. i think we've all been there at some stage or another. Does this sound familiar ? That's okay, i totally understand where you're coming from. What is important is acknowledging that you have had the energy and motivation to seek someone to support you through this - it takes courage and strength to take this step. Well done!

Having several years' experience working with adults, children and young people, I can offer support to a wide age range. Reaching out for support can be incredibly overwhelming and scary. It’s very important to me to try and make this as simple and accessible as possible. I qualified as a counsellor in 2019 and have worked within mental health for over 10 years, in the charity, private and voluntary sector. Removing barriers to counselling support is very close to my heart and I pride myself on being a down to earth practitioner.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but cannot seem to change. They may struggle with anxiety, low self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, trauma, or the lasting effects of earlier experiences. Some have had previous therapy and gained insight, yet still find themselves reacting in ways they would like to change. Through EMDR and attachment-informed therapy, I help clients process the experiences that continue to influence the present and create lasting change.

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of what they’re experiencing. This might relate to anxiety, low mood, trauma, loss, or major life changes, or a more general sense that something doesn’t feel right. Therapy offers a space to slow things down, explore what’s been difficult, and begin to understand yourself with greater clarity and compassion, at a pace that feels manageable and supportive. Alongside my broader work, I have a focus on men’s mental health, providing a confidential and understanding space where men can explore their emotions, past experiences, and pressures faced in life.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
