Counselling in MK14

I am a highly skilled clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with over 15 years experience in the NHS. I deliver CBT, DBT and EMDR to a high standard. When we hit a rough patch our mental health can deteriorate to the point of burnout. It’s important to look after ourselves to get back on the right path. I will show how your mental health problems developed, the factors that kept them going, and effective strategies to treat them. I work with anxiety disorders (e.g. social and GAD), PTSD, psychosis, bipolar, depression and high functioning autism. The way we think makes a big difference to how we feel and what we do.

My clients appreciate my holistic approach to mental health. Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them. I offer therapy to everyone because we all want to be seen, heard and understood and that is often at the very heart of Healing.

I offer assessment and treatment of children and adults for the purposes of understanding difficulties and developing a treatment plan. I work with a range of difficulties including, challenging behaviour, depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, bipolar disorder, trauma, emotional regulation and self-esteem. I offer functional assessments of behaviour in children, to facilitate understanding and management of this. I also offer modified therapeutic interventions to support clients to understand their diagnosis of autism and related emotional well-being.

If you have suffered a bereavement or are a survivor of sexual abuse, then it might not be easy to talk about your thoughts and feeling with friends or family. Talking to someone that you can trust to be non-judgemental and who values you as a person, will help you to feel heard and safe. I can help you to have a better understanding of what you are feeling. Or, If you are just feeling feeling low and need someone to talk things through with, to be able to gain clarity over a situation that you might find yourself in, I can offer you a safe space to do that.

Life can be full of challenges and sometimes we need help to make sense of what is going on. Maybe there are issues in your life right now that are making life difficult, or perhaps your past experiences are having an impact on you, stopping you from being where you want to be, or from being the person you deserve to be.

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor, offering sessions in person, via video chat, and telephone. I work with adults and teenagers, offering support with a wide range of different issues. I am warm and empathic, providing a safe, confidential space where you can explore thoughts and feelings, at your own pace, without judgement. I am here to listen and to support you while you work through any difficulties and challenges you might be facing. I work in a way that is led by you in what you are hoping to gain from counselling. I treat each of my clients as an individual and I tailor the sessions to suit your individual needs.
