I believe you strive to want to do what's best for you, no matter what conditions you may find yourself in. I believe in the uniqueness of each individual and that you have the capacity to be the expert in your own world, as only you know how you truly feel, and what you really want. You are the only person who can decide who you want to be, and how you want to be living your life. I believe you deserve respect for the values and choices you decide to live by and strongly believe that through the trustworthy relationship I hope to build with you, that together, we will find the path that is hidden from you.

Are you feeling stuck and unable to get past how you feel right now? Using a person-centred approach to counselling I can help you explore your feelings in a safe non-judgemental space where you can be truly open. Do you have things you want to achieve in life, or feel you are not reaching your full potential? My hybrid approach using counselling and coaching skills can help propel you forwards, this is especially useful for those suffering from lack of confidence and self esteem.

Clients needs differ, I offer a place where each individual can explore their issues in a calm, safe environment. A place to talk about their everyday challenges and past experiences and look at what their hopes and goals for the future might be.

Relationships are at the core of what it means to be human. If your relationship with your partner or your family is not working , then this can affect so many parts of your life. Perhaps you feel that you have never been happy in the relationship that you are in? Perhaps you or your partner have had an affair or have issues with jealousy? Maybe you are considering splitting up or leaving? Being part of an extended family can present its own problems. Being a Step Parent or Step Child can be very problematic. Parenting issues can cause major rifts in families and sometimes an experienced third party can offer a solution.

We all have difficulties in life at different points, and most of the time we are able to just get on with it. But sometimes, we just need to pause and work with what we are experiencing. I understand that taking this step can be difficult but Counselling/Psychotherapy can help with this, and the feelings, thoughts, anxieties and lack of meaning that may have become your normal. Talking to someone can bring a positive change and help you regain your sense of self. I have experience of working with clients that bring a range of issues to the room, helping them work towards their goals and happiness.

Perhaps you have experienced a stressful/traumatic life event e.g. a death or a relationship break-up and need to reprocess symptoms of emotional distress. Maybe these symptoms have led to struggles with addiction, depression, anxiety? Together we can work through reprocessing these symptoms. I mainly use two psychotherapeutic approaches, EMDR & Brainspotting, both are brain based techniques which are reported to alleviate symptoms caused by traumatic memories. I work with PTSD/Complex PTSD, Relationship & Couple Issues. My aim is to promote personal harmony, growth and mind/body balance into your everyday life.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in PR25?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.
What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in PR25 specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.
Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
