Counselling in GL5
Perhaps you have become highly skilled at appearing capable and coping well on the outside, while privately struggling with self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or a persistent feeling that something is missing. Together, we can make sense of those experiences and find a path forward that works for you.
I believe that every person has the potential for growth, self-understanding, and positive change. Sometimes, however, unlocking that potential requires the right support and encouragement. My role is to work with you, drawing on your own knowledge and experiences to help you reconnect with your strengths.

Hello and welcome. I am an experienced psychotherapist and I work with individuals and couples who come to see me with a wide range of challenges and difficulties that they are facing. People often seek therapy when they are at a transitional moment in their lives. Through our work together you will have the opportunity to speak about your experiences and feelings; both now and in your past, and we will work together to develop an understanding of you and your life with the hope that this therapeutic process of reflection and insight might be transformative for you.

Starting therapy can be daunting. Perhaps you are unsure if you ‘need’ therapy, or whether therapy can help with your particular issue. Maybe you are struggling with feelings of shame, or trying to navigate challenging relationship dynamics, or would simply like to understand yourself more deeply.
I bring an attitude of curiosity, inclusivity and acceptance to my practice, working from a fundamental belief that we all, no matter who we are or believe ourselves to be, deserve compassion and acceptance.
'Where something becomes extremely difficult and unbearable, there we also stand already quite near its transformation' Rilke

Are you facing challenges in your life that feel overwhelming? Would you like to change how things are, or gain a better understanding of what is going on for you? Perhaps what you are experiencing is due to a relationship, something to do with your job or studies, a bereavement or other loss, or something less definable - perhaps just a sense that something is not right for you.
Maybe it is connected to neuro-diversity, low self esteem, depression or anxiety. Whatever your difficulty is, and no matter how big or small it seems to be, by looking for therapy, you are taking a positive step in your life.

For most of us, life is a complex mix of highs and lows. Sometimes we need specialist help, separate to our family and friends, to support our mental health and wellbeing and help us find our way. You might have a child or young person in distress; perhaps you’re battling with parenting or behaviour issues; or maybe you are an adolescent or young adult struggling to navigate life. Psychotherapy can help you make sense of difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours; allowing you to create better relationships, healthier behaviours, achieve potential and find joy in life.

Do you need help with a difficult time in your life? Are you feeling low or anxious, consumed with worry? Perhaps what helped in the past is no longer working. You may be feeling numb or withdrawn. Are traumatic events from your past resurfacing? These challenging experiences are part of us, and when we feel ready it is good to have help. I work closely along side you and together we find out more about yourself, what you want, what is blocking you and how you might overcome this. By addressing these issues can help remove shackles allowing you to grow and realize your full potential.

As a counsellor, I have experience working with teenagers, young adults and people of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and substance and behavioural addictions. I believe that counselling can be beneficial to anyone, but it is also a very individual experience and each person will enter counselling with different goals and find different ways in which they achieve those goals. My intention with every client is to build a supportive and non-judgemental relationship in which they can build an understanding of themselves and make informed and conscious decisions to benefit their lives.

Hi, I'm a trainee psychotherapist in my final year of a 6 year MA with BCPC.
You will experience me as interested, friendly and open. I am authentic, I will feedback to you honestly, but I don't have the answers. I'll help you to find your own answers from within yourself.
I really listen to try to understand what it is like to be you. I use my training, experience and the emotion I feel through my body to try to understand you, always checking in and welcoming correction. I'll encourage you to explore your present experience as well as your past, your dreams and physical sensations, but only when you feel safe enough.

I’m drawn to the notion that as well as having the potential to hurt, relationship (both with self and others) has the power to heal. Deeply rooted damaging and limiting expectations can be lifted, releasing suffocating feelings of shame, loneliness and despair. It is my experience that therapy can help in feeling safely connected, valued, and indeed, loveable.

I believe the most important thing is to build a good relationship between counsellor and client, a relationship where you can feel secure, accepted, and heard. Through this relationship, awareness of how we feel can be found and with that a healthier way of managing our behaviours can be achieved.

Life can be hard at times, and you may find yourself struggling with painful emotions, anxiety, or a difficult relationship with yourself. You might feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure why things feel so heavy, even if you can’t point to one clear reason.
People come to see me for many different reasons, but often with a shared sense that something in their inner world or relationships has become painful or hard to navigate alone. I aim to offer a calm, thoughtful space where we can slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and explore your experience at a pace that feels right for you.
