People take the step to seek therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you are experiencing feelings of anxiety, overwhelm or depression. You may be facing a dilemma, feeling stuck or lacking a sense of purpose or direction in life. Often people will come because they are struggling with relationship or family issues that feel hard to resolve. A traumatic event, loss or life-stage crisis might lead you to look for professional support. Maybe fears and unhelpful behaviours are limiting your life.

I am a BACP accredited and experienced Psychodynamic and Embodied Counsellor. I run a trauma-informed private practice in Stroud, offering EMDR therapy as well as counselling. I have completed the full EMDR UK/Europe recommended training, have membership with EMDR UK and have regular supervision with an EMDR Europe consultant.
I understand that taking the step to seek therapy can cause apprehension. Whatever you are facing, I provide a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space within which to explore your feelings and thoughts and work towards change. If you would like to find out more about how we might work together, do get in touch to arrange an initial consultation.
