Hi I work with both adults and young people, my interests are anxiety and depression and how this has an impact on your life, helping you to untangle what’s really going on for you and working through this can really help to unpack things and get that mind a little tidier so you are able to move forward and get an overall sense of well-being. Being able to talk to someone that will not judge you will help you to off load feelings and emotions that you may not even realise you are carrying.

You know what you want to change or resolve, but the way forward is unclear and things you have tried before simply haven't worked. Emotions such as anxiety, sadness, fear or anger may dominate your experience. You may be constantly stressed, feel like nothing you do is ever quite good enough or that things are out of control. You may also be trying to come to terms with difficult events in your past or present, or struggling with creating or maintaining nourishing relationships. If this sounds familiar, our work together can give insight into why you think and feel the way you do and offer new and healthier ways to respond.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, to help unravel an anxious mind. I can help you reach a better understanding of what’s bothering you, we can explore why you have certain thoughts and how to move through them. Unsettling emotions can include uncertainty, anxiety, depression, stress, lack of self-esteem, and feeling stuck with life’s direction. You may have questions regarding relationships, or work issues, be carrying grief, or feel afraid of the future in this uncertain and changing world. Everyone can benefit from being able to voice how they feel, to talk in confidence and to be listened to.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unsure of how to navigate life right now? I offer talking, walking and creative therapy outdoors, indoors and by telephone so we can work together to explore and understand your feelings, underlying reasons and how, if at all, you would like life to change. If you are feeling depressed, anxious, stressed or challenged by life and your circumstances, talking your thoughts and feelings through can help provide emotional support and the space to explore how to cope. How we feel (or don't feel) is often a clue as to what is working well for us, or what might need to change to lead a fulfilling life.

Through therapy you can find out things about yourself that will help you understand what is going on for you and help to develop your own understanding and gradually learn more about your innermost parts and lead the way to greater acceptance of yourself. This is awareness and will help you feel more empowered to choose to do things differently. I believe this work is about being true to yourself rather than being who you think you 'should' be and to reclaim those parts of you that have been denied. It is both challenging and rewarding work leading to emotional healing and growth.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where we will explore the past to make sense of the present, cultivating awareness and coping skills to help you manage what can feel unmanageable. My aim is to support you in a confidential professional manner and together we will try to understand what is going on for you and find some resolve.

Welcome, “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them" Maya Angelou. Are you thinking past experiences are impacting on your life now, your relationships, family, or your work, and feeling stuck. Perhaps there is trauma in the past: a childhood experience when no-one was there to understand, a single terrifying incident, bullying, boarding school, or have/are experiencing an abusive relationship. Would you like to understand and find resolution and hope to face the future with confidence and resilience and improve your relationships.

I offer a safe space to support adults and adolescents to explore feelings either responding to a crisis event such as bereavement or longer term issues. The most important aspect is developing trust by providing a space to share your experiences without fear or judgement. My main counselling focus is working with relationship difficulties, domestic abuse and cptsd. I have a lived experience and passion supporting those who identify as neurodivergent. I welcome counselling students both on adult and CYP training. Alongside supervising both adult and CYP counsellors being L6 qualified in both fields.

I know the past couple of years have been really difficult times for everybody and there have been many changes in how we meet and talk to each other. Certainly in EMDR treatment, we have had to make rapid changes in how we think and work in order to remain available to those in need. My own experience in working online with life's complex and diverse difficulties has found that positive and effective work can equally be achieved via video sessions and has enabled me to work with so many who would otherwise find difficulty in travelling perhaps due to time, distance, work or other factors.

I practice Integrative Psychotherapy – an eclectic form of practice which integrates elements from different schools of psychotherapy. Integrative psychotherapy/counselling is a conglomerate of different theoretical and practical approaches informed by the client’s individual needs and values. Integrative style of therapy reflects the complexity of human experience. This particular form of therapy/counselling nurtures a spontaneous and creative therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. I believe forming a positive therapeutic relationship is the paramount of the healing process.

It takes tremendous strength and courage to reach out and finally say - something's not working. It can be easy to put aside our doubts, worries, traumas and behaviours, and let our busy lives take the lead. Yet as you know, these feelings don't just disappear, and one day something builds up within us that makes us say - 'ENOUGH, I need to deal with this.' Naturally, our first step is to reach out to friends, family, or colleagues, and although we respect their opinions, do we truly allow ourselves to be vulnerable within these relationships?

Life doesn't get any easier does it? Juggling work, relationships and family can be stressful and confusing, leaving us feeling emotionally drained. Sometimes the harder we work to please others, the tougher we are on ourselves. This can make us feel less than good enough. Deeper feelings of anxiety, sadness and anger can be painful and scary, so we become very good at burying them until they build up and overwhelm us. If you are experiencing feelings that are hard to manage I can help you.

Feeling truly listened to and valued can be an incredibly powerful, healing experience. I can say this, based on my own journey where feeling understood and having meaning and connection with others goes to the core of our being. I am a trained qualified counsellor, and I offer you a safe space with no judgement or agenda. I also bring with me over 20 years of experience working with people with a range of mental health and wellbeing needs. I have also supported and coached staff in the workplace, through a difficult and distressing time in their personal life, or to help realise their goals through greater self-worth and belief.

You may be considering psychotherapy because you have a specific concern or are experiencing ‘symptoms’ that you want to address. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or a general sense of unease and feel life is meaningless or joyless. Perhaps you are facing some significant change in your life and unsure what to do. Or maybe you are feeling stuck finding yourself in the same place, repeating the same patterns, despite your efforts to change things. Or perhaps you want to get to know yourself more deeply and experience life more fully.

With 20 years experience as a Counsellor & 10 years as an Art Psychotherapist within various NHS, Education and Community-based services, I've since specialised in EMDR therapy and am now an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK & Ireland. Although EMDR is widely recognised as a trauma-focused therapy, it can effectively treat a broad range of issues, often in a relatively short-term time-frame. EMDR helps process intense emotions, self-limiting beliefs & behavioural patterns in the present which seem stuck on repeat, as they often track back to distressing or overwhelming relational-issues or life events in the past.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. 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 counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors 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 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 counselors. Many have been licensed by the country 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 counselling. 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.
