Do you feel anxious, worried or depressed? Sometimes life can be hard, and it can be difficult to make sense of distressing thoughts and feelings, and heal from painful life events. Sometimes we might find ourselves stuck, and unable to move forward in the way that we wish to. Often talking to family and friends may be difficult for a number of reasons. This is when it can be helpful to talk to a trained professional who is unbiased and separate from your life. I will provide a safe, confidential space for you, underpinned by a supportive and empathic therapeutic relationship where we can work together on your difficulties.
As an integrative therapist I draw on a number of different approaches to best fit the individual needs of each person. These can include, EMDR, CBT, ACT, compassion focused therapy, mindfulness, and trauma informed therapy. I have worked for 10 years in a variety of settings, including working with children, teens, and university students.
It can be really difficult to reach out for help, particularly to someone you don't yet know or trust. With that in mind I can offer you a safe, non judgemental, confidential and neutral space in which you can talk about what is troubling you. As a person I'm warm and down to earth and will do everything I can to make you feel comfortable in this first step.

When working with stress, anxiety or trauma we begin by identifying your priorities or goals for counselling. In short term work, we explore managing these difficulties and look to identify new coping strategies. In longer term work, we can look at how gaining a deeper understanding of past experiences has the potential to positively transform how we think and feel in the here and now.

As an integrative counsellor I use a number of different approaches and adapt therapy to what you need. I'm open and explain about which approach I think could be helpful and therapy is always shaped collaboratively. I offer short term goal focused therapy, which is usually 6 to 12 sessions, and longer term therapy which involves looking at how past experiences can be influencing the present.
