Counselling can be really helpful when you just need someone to talk to and it can offer so much more. When you are feeling like something is just not right or life seems so challenging, talking to a Counsellor can make the difference. Many people just want to feel better and get a sense of relief from the turmoil of life. It may be that a life event has really impacted on you, such as a bereavement, trauma or loss of a job. You may feel like the world just does not understand you or perhaps you are struggling to come to terms with your sexuality. There are many many different reasons why people choose counselling. We're all unique.

People, have the basic desire to be heard, understood, and helped when needed. This is not always common in our world. However, this is exactly what I offer in a calm, genuine way. I work with Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD and addictions in its many forms. Addiction and neurodiversity can be linked due to self-medicating. Using one to help with the other is common. Trauma can play a big part in addictions and can be masked by our using. There are difficulties that underlie each and every one of us. Some are very obvious and some we hide hoping no one will notice. This can be very tiring and eventually become a huge burden that we carry.

I wonder how life is for you right now, maybe something difficult has happened, perhaps you are struggling with feelings that make life a challenge? Whatever's going on for you, it can be hard to find the right words to explain how you're feeling. I offer creative expression in therapy (art, poetry, sound, drama, objects) alongside talking counselling. I help with issues such as anxiety, coping with depression, overcoming grief, trauma, low self esteem, people pleasing ... Together we consider the impact of early life experiences and how internal defences maybe show up now. I work at a safe pace using a trauma informed approach.

Do you find yourself overthinking relationships, worrying about rejection, putting other people first or shutting down when things feel too much? You may know something keeps repeating but not fully understand why. I work with people who want to make sense of these patterns, including anxious attachment, people-pleasing, low self-worth and fear of abandonment, and begin responding with greater self-trust, security and choice.

I’m a Senior Accredited NCPS and UKCP-reg. Gestalt psychotherapist working with individuals, groups and couples. My work is relational and experiential, with a focus on what unfolds between us in the present moment, as well as how your past continues to shape your emotional world, relationships, and sense of self. I tend to work with people who feel caught in familiar but difficult patterns, whether that’s anxiety, low mood, ADHD, relational struggles, or the impact of earlier experiences. Often this can show up as overwhelm, self-criticism, emotional intensity, or a sense of disconnection, either from yourself or from others.

Whatever your issues are , I am happy to listen to you and help you find a way to manage your unhappiness. When there are difficulties that overwhelm you it is good to take time for yourself and reflect on the effect your life is having on you and the people close to you. Many issues cause conflict , anxiety, and depression. It is easy to feel lonely and disconnected from ourselves and the people who matter to us. Some issues are very private and we need a confidential environment to discuss these delicate matters, issues of the heart, the mind, the soul.
