You will receive a safe, accepting environment, where I will listen, and support you to become more aware of how to make the right choices for yourself. I can work with self-esteem and self-image issues, and issues such as life-direction. I share the view, in modern psychology, that people thrive when they are living their life aligned with those values which hold most meaning for them. Living a meaningful, or meaning-guided life, is often at the core of many issues. Many people have never had a safe space to explore their values and assess what is ultimately meaningful to them, and I am able to offer this in our work together.

Recently, I've been working with a lot of clients who have substance misuse issues. These can greatly affect a persons confidence and I feel I am good at helping clients address their issues and go on to live the life they deserve. I'm also experienced at working with clients suffering bereavement issues. Sometimes its hard to make sense of someone's loss. Let me help you explore that grief and ways in which you can look at moving on from your loss. I offer a safe warm space for our sessions. I'm happy to work at the clients pace and my aim is to help you develop as a person.

I offer the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT - tapping) which is like acupuncture but without the needles. You tap on specific parts of your body whilst working on difficult experiences or emotions. It is an evidenced based treatment which means it has a robust body of research demonstrating its effectiveness. It's as effective as CBT. It helps a large variety of difficulties. It works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the system that makes the body relaxed) whilst thinking about difficult things so that the brain then associates the difficulties with relaxation in the future rather than distress.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck in some way. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, past trauma, or patterns that keep repeating in your life. Perhaps communication at home has broken down, or you're trying to make sense of addiction or emotional overwhelm. I have particular experience supporting people working through addiction, trauma and relationship difficulties, helping them move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Therapy brings clarity, helping you make effective decisions and positive changes in thoughts, attitudes, and behaviours. It's not about advice giving but creating space to talk, explore, and reach your own realisations. The goal is to feel more equipped to make choices and move forward with confidence and wellbeing. Hypnotherapy & mindfulness can be introduced as a type of complementary therapy—hypnosis promotes focus and openness to positive change, while mindfulness helps keep you grounded in the present.

Seeking support during difficult times can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure what type of therapy you need or how counselling actually works. Many people arrive here after trying to cope alone — reading, researching, journaling, listening to podcasts, taking in endless online advice, or even using AI — only to find that the changes don’t last. Anyone can benefit from therapy, and you do not need to be in crisis to reach out. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, confused, anxious, low, or simply ready for change, counselling can offer a grounded and supportive space to help you find your way.

You might be experiencing panic, OCD, health or social anxiety, low mood, or burnout. You may be navigating identity questions, life transitions, or the emotional impact of living between cultures. You want relief from constant mental pressure, a deeper understanding of yourself, and a way to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to who you are.

Do you find yourself constantly feeling the need to apologise for things, then wondering what you have done wrong? Maybe you have felt blamed for things in life and want to explore things further. Or you may feel held back by guilt and regret. I can work with you to explore this through a safe and steady process which looks at patterns across your life and within relationships. This will help you to break free from the restraints of negative approval you may have felt for many years.

Sometimes, we reach a point in life where we find ourselves numb, anxious, easily upset or frustrated struggling to enjoy the life we have because of trauma, grief, depression or loss of Self. This can affect everything we hold dear: the relationships, the work, personal life, or feeling lost and lacking in self-esteem. It can be really hard to share our difficult feelings with someone or even to admit it to ourselves, and I appreciate and respect that. My aim is to help you find Your-Self, enjoy life again, recognise your personal potential and empowerment, so you can move towards having a meaningful and fulfilling life.
