Perhaps you are reading this profile because you are going through something difficult right now, and you are looking for someone to offer you support without agenda or judgement? Therapy is about creating a compassionate space in which you will be heard and given the time to explore what is going on for you. My role is to help you feel safe and empowered to reflect on your feelings, fears, hopes and frustrations, and to find a way forward that is right for you. So that you can decide if I am the right therapist for you, I am always happy to have a conversation via Zoom before you book an appointment.

I am a Child, adolescent & adult psychotherapist. I work with all age groups. We are all expected to make normal life changes that can be difficult for example, a school transition, change of job, relationship changes etc. These can be quite challenging to manage. Then we have the uncertainties that are happening all around us right now with the pandemic & global change. Life is full of many uncertainties & quite often this can cause us to feel as though we are out of control leading to anxiety & stress. I can help to manage the anxiety so that you feel back in control again enabling a much happier & fulfilled life.

I work in a relational way, treating each client as a unique individual with a unique set of circumstances. I aim to really understand what each person is dealing with. There are many different types of therapy that inform my work such as Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, and elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sometimes words are not adequate to express how we are feeling, and so it can be useful to utilise creative techniques such as drawing or using the imagination. The space I offer is safe and non-judgemental. I aim to accept and support you in a warm and caring environment as you explore your inner thoughts and feelings.

Feeling sad, traumatised or disconnected from the world, or perhaps struggling with unhelpful behaviours leaving you feeling anxious and low. This often is a result of conflict with the relationship with ourselves or others, at work or at home. Relational conflict with partners, parents, friendships and colleagues can make us feel vulnerable, unsafe and unable to cope. Clients tend to be the best expert on their experience and often understand what's concerning them but are stuck and unable to find a way through. It takes courage to face into some of our issues but recognising we have them is the hardest part.

Do you ever notice a feeling of dread at the day ahead or that you’re constantly worrying and berating yourself? Do you struggle with sleep, or sleep too much but still wake never feeling properly rested? Do you find yourself playing over conversations, picking apart the things that you said and how people responded, worrying about what they think of you? How would you like to feel happier, more confident and energised? To sleep better, look forward to your days and be kinder to yourself? These are just some of the areas I can help you with.

Are you struggling to recognise yourself at the moment. Perhaps there has been a life altering event? Or maybe it has gradually dawned on you how things have changed. Are you experiencing difficulties in your relationships? Or feeling out of synch with your responses to the world around you? We all experience times like these where we need a little more support. Time to stop and process things so we can make the decisions we want to move forward to a place of happiness and freedom again. If you need space to discuss your feelings I can provide a non-judgemental warm and safe place to explore yourself and to create change.

Do you feel anxious, confused or angry ? Have you suffered a loss ? There may be many reasons why you feel you need to access some extra help other than talking to family and friends. Counselling will provide you with a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to talk through difficult issues to identify and focus on your concerns, moving towards understanding, acceptance and a changed outlook on life. Counselling can help increase self-esteem and confidence, help to come to terms with past experiences, change unhelpful behaviour and improve communication.

We can all have intense feelings that we find difficult to control. Falling into the same old patterns, getting angry, ashamed or stressed instead. Emotions can cause relationship problems leaving us feeling misunderstood, anxious or depressed. This can be a lonely & isolating place where we may feel stuck. Whether it be relationships with family, friends, neighbours - they can be stressful to deal with, especially when trying to work out acceptable boundaries, forgive or trying to repair damaged relationships. I help get to know the nervous system and build better bonds (I am the creator of the Polyvagal Teen resources).

Why counselling? Counselling can help with all sorts of different issues. It can help with positive events such as choosing a direction in life or reaching your full potential. There may be things from your past that you would like to tackle or there may be things in the present that you want to try and change. Perhaps you are experiencing significant events in your life such as getting married and starting a family, leaving home for the first time or coming to terms with the death of a loved one. Maybe you are feeling anxious or stressed, there are many, many reasons why we might need a bit of support .

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.

As a Supervisor & Psychotherapist, over 35 years of my adult life have been dedicated to working with others in their quest for well-being. You may be dealing with a recent, disturbing event leading to anxiety, depression & stress & could do with someone to help you move on? Or perhaps you have a difficult choice to make & need help to see clearly? Or perhaps you just don't feel good & don't really know how this came about? A difficulty in a relationship or within the family? Whatever the cause, we can work together to unearth whatever is getting you down so that you can move on.

Counselling is an opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, confidential environment. I will help you through this process in a non-judgemental manner without telling you what to do.

I believe you are the expert on yourself, and with my help, can discover what you need to do to understand yourself and your feelings.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel good emotions or are you just numb or angry? At times we struggle to find joy and fulfilment in life. Was childhood difficult for you? Our childhood shapes the rest of our lives and learned reactions impact our relationships with others. Are you tired of the same thoughts and circumstances repeating? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? All of us have our own way of dealing with things but unhealthy habits can lead to us feeling trapped. In therapy we can develop awareness, break the self defeating cycle and make good conscious choices.

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
