Based in York city centre, I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor working with adults with a range of issues, including domestic abuse. Anxiety, depression and low self-esteem can impact daily life. Maybe you are struggling with changes or decisions that feel out of your control. You may need a safe space to heal after distressing life experiences. Difficult or abusive relationships can leave us confused about what is abuse, gaslighting or coercive control. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where we can work together to help you make sense of your experiences, thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.

I'm a relational psychotherapist qualified in integrative transactional analysis.
I see therapy as a collaborative process between two human beings, rather than somebody arriving with all the answers and somebody else needing to be "fixed". The relationship we build is at the heart of the work: a place where you will be met with curiosity, compassion, and gentle challenge as we make sense of things together.

I am an Integrative Therapist, using a core model of Transactional Analysis.
We each have our own particular blend of resources and limitations, specific to us and unique as a fingerprint. That's why my therapeutic counselling doesn't provide 6-step plans, workbooks or programmes. It's open, free-flowing and exploratory. It takes the time to clear a regular safe space in which to unpack the events, relationships and emotions that you bring with you to this moment. To think about your feeling and feel your thinking. To talk, to laugh, to be tired, angry, uplifted or simply just to take the time to be. With compassion, empathy and without judgment.

I appreciate that it can feel difficult in asking for help and to put trust in someone you have never met, especially with often upsetting and difficult issues. It can feel like we may have somehow failed or its a last resort in trying to resolve difficulties. I have helped many people like yourself, who also felt unsure initially on what to expect and feelings of trepidation or embarrassment in asking for help. I believe that the therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client is all important to be effective in addressing the issues and helping you to make the changes that you want and to get things back on track.

TA examines feelings and experiences that relate to patterns of behaviour that may be holding you back and having a negative impact on your life. In TA these repetitive patterns are referred to as our “Life Script” and one of the aims of our working together would be to raise awareness of what that means to you and what you would like to change. I have worked for almost 15 years with people from all walks of life who have experienced trauma, relationship and attachment difficulties, low confidence and self-esteem, stress, and depression and anxiety.
