It can be a huge step to decide to talk to a counsellor/psychotherapist about personal issues so it is important to find someone you are comfortable with, who will not judge you but accept you for who you are. I offer office based and/or telephone therapy. The relationship between therapist and patient is fundamentally important. I liken psychotherapy to being in a clothing shop changing room where we get a unique view of ourselves from all angles. Likewise therapy is about helping someone to glimpse and explore hidden parts of themselves or just helping them make sense of their distress.

My rationale in counselling is underpinned by an awareness that no single theory is comprehensive enough to account for the complexities of adult behaviour.
My role as your counsellor is to help you explore what is going on in your life, while supporting you to make improvements and find better ways to cope. This might involve examining the messages that have shaped you from childhood, looking at the nature and quality of your relationships and exploring your communication patterns, moods, feelings and life choices. I’m a strong believer that our lives have to have meaning if we are to thrive. Counselling gives you the space to consider how you might begin to make transformative change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-worth and eating disorders.
Some struggles become patterns that quietly shape how you think, feel and live. They may show up as anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-worth or challenges around food, leaving you feeling stuck or wondering why the same difficulties keep returning. Together we’ll look beneath the surface to understand what’s keeping those patterns going, helping you move beyond simply coping towards meaningful, lasting change.

I help adults move beyond insight and create meaningful change.
Understanding your patterns isn’t the same as changing them. I offer therapy that helps bridge that gap, so you feel more in control of your choices and more at ease in your daily life. Many clients come to therapy as highly capable and adaptable, yet they still operate from roles shaped by family expectations. You’re not alone if those old roles still show up in your everyday life; recognising them is a powerful first step towards real change.

FAQ - About Adult Counselling
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
