Counselling in Leicester

It’s scary admitting to yourself that you need help; and that you’re struggling with whatever is causing you to feel unhappy or distressed. Due to stigma; people feel that they can only access therapy when they are at breaking point; when in fact you can access counselling whenever you need to. My background is in working with abuse survivors; adults and children; and those who have experienced trauma. As a result I work with depression, low self esteem, shame, loneliness, hopelessness, grief & loss, anger, self harm and suicidal feelings as well as a broad range of other factors and experiences clients bring to their sessions.

I'm a mindful psychologist who works with and supports adults and young people who are struggling with their mental health. You might be newly diagnosed and looking to understand what is going on for you and how you can manage your new way of life or you might have reached a point in your life where you feel you need someone to walk life's journey with you, to support you with the aim of getting you better. Some of the presentations I work with include but not limited to paranoid-schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and schizoaffective disorder.

I am a highly qualified and experienced consultant psychotherapist and supervisor with 20 years experience and recognised clinical expertise in the treatment and assessment of a wide range of mental health problems (including: depression, anxiety, personality disorders and psychosis), problematic behaviours and addictions. My guiding aim is to help each client to the point where they no longer require therapy or medication, and can cope skilfully and independently with life’s challenges, and understand how the past can impede our ability to cope with the present.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who is interested in helping clients find a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, coping with anxiety and depression and helping them find more fulfilling relationships.

I am also interested in working with people who have been in relationships which have been abusive, helping them to learn to move forward into new more healthy relationships.

I have a rich 22 years of experience specialising in children, families, couples, and individuals facing diverse relational, personal, and mental health challenges (inc: anorexia, depression, anxiety, bipolar, EUDP, personality disorders, and schizophrenia).
