I will guide you gently through how we might work together. We will discuss confidentiality and answer any and all questions you might have in a relaxed space. If you would like me to, I could help in determining your goals in therapy and will make a plan to achieve these together, in the form of a type of “contract” that we work together on. Be prepared to laugh, cry, stretch, grow and reach goals you might have thought were impossible.
I work with individuals, with any life events, transitions or decisions you may wish to bring. I help with anxiety, depression or stress in a secure and gentle way. I am an adoptive mum and foster carer and so have a lot of experience of working with looked after children, families of birth and adoptive parents and the complexities involved.
Each individual brings their own personal situation and I will sit alongside you, at your pace, with guidance and support, all in a safe place. I strongly feel that life doesn’t have to be a constant balancing act. You can get peace…You can learn to pause, to breathe, to feel ok.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. I also work with people wanting to understand the impact on themselves as a result of being adopted or fostered, having adopted a child, or having lost a child due to adoption. During our initial sessions, we will gently uncover together a way forward.

I often use person centred therapy in my practice. In your first session we will talk about what you need from therapy and draw up a kind of contract between the two of us. I will suggest that we hold this in mind and revisit as and when it feels right, to check we are on track. At your pace, we will gently explore your here and now and visiting your past experiences where helpful and relevant.
