I offer a safe space to talk about anything which may be of concern in your life, which we can then explore at your own pace, to make sense of things, resolve difficult feelings and make positive change. It can sometimes be difficult to talk to family and friends, and having someone to listen without judgement can make all the difference. Counselling can also help us to understand how the past has affected our present life and relationships, helping us to connect to who we really are and to be happier as our true self, which is our human birthright. Counselling can also enable a secure attachment which can help to heal past wounds.

The thought of attending a stranger for any type of talking therapy is daunting for most. This difficulty is magnified when the person’s mood has deteriorated, their anxiety levels have increased and their self-esteem has taken a battering. Thus the therapeutic relationship is essential for optimum treatment and recovery. As a BABCP Accredited Psychotherapist, my role is to help the person become their own therapist. In assisting in the treatment of lowered mood and anxiety, CBT helps establish and build upon coping strategies. We focus on one of the main drivers of mental illness - low self-esteem - in order to drive recovery.

I understand that it can be daunting coming to counselling for the first time for you or that of your child/teenager and it is important to find the right fit for you.
Are you or your child struggling with anxiety, negative thinking patterns/ behaviours or intrusive thoughts? Struggling to bond with your baby or having relationship difficulties with your child/teenager or partner, leaving you overwhelmed with guilt? Thinking you’re not doing a good enough job? Parenting can be overwhelming, placing a high expectation on getting it right. You are not on your own, many parents feel this way but find it too difficult to talk about in fear of being judged. Adults, children and adolescents all need a space to explore and express their experiences, to understand what they are feeling and to be heard.
