"(No availability until Sep 2020) If you're looking for an approachable and experienced private therapist, please get in touch to find out more about how we can work together on the issues you're experiencing. This is a completely confidential service with a professional, respectful and ethical practitioner who has had extensive training and experience in both mental health and charitable settings. You don’t have to be experiencing a mental health problem to seek out therapy, some people use it as an opportunity for self-development. I also offer therapy to adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities and/or autism."

"I offer a professional, confidential, caring counselling service for adults and young people who want to improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing. I regularly help people with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, PTSD, trauma, addiction, OCD, anger, bereavement, low self-esteem, and current or historical sexual, psychological or physical abuse, as well as other personal issues affecting mental health. "

"I believe we all have the potential to lead fulfilling lives but sometimes we can feel confused, lose direction and become unsure which way to turn. I can offer you a safe, supportive and confidential space where we can explore any concerns or issues that may be troubling you and gently address difficult feelings, free of any judgement. Together, we can help you move forwards, create changes in your life and develop greater self-understanding."

"My ideal client... I am not sure I have one, other than a person that is willing to work through painful material in order to move past the roadblocks that are currently preventing them from living a life that is close to that which they desire. Many of my clients feel that something is holding them back, although they're not always aware what that thing that is holding them back is. Sometimes it is important to identify that thing, other times it's enough to accept it is there, is unchangeable, and that we can still function in spite of that thing that has held us back."

"The Decider Skills use CBT to teach children, young people and adults the skills to recognise their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, allowing them to monitor and manage their OWN emotions and mental health. The skills are designed to help manage distress, regulate emotion, increase mindfulness, promote effective communication and help live a more skilful, less impulsive life. Participants presented that the lack of early skills training meant they had formed unhelpful habits which maintained their mental health problems. The skills aim to reduce impulsivity and increase resources, resilience, coping and confidence."

"The emphasis throughout our work is on you and how you see and experience the world. You will have an opportunity to tell your story and gradually come to a more satisfactory interpretation of your current predicament until you find a way through. The objective is for you to become more honest and more in tune with both your limitations and possibilities. By paying attention to what is of most concern to you personally we will aim to bring your life back into harmony with your aspirations, so that you become more able to live your life to the full. This means understanding where you now, before establishing where you are going."

"My aim is to provide you with a warm open and confidential space for you to explore any concerns that may be troubling you free from the fear of judgement in what you 'feel' you would like to bring to counselling. I will ensure you are listened to and heard with respect and understanding. Together we can work through any concerns identified so that hopefully you will feel confident to go forward with a more positive outlook of yourself and your life. Therapy is very individualised and I believe it is important to ask 'you' what it is that will help you to move to a more accepting place."
