I work with overwhelmed parents and couples gain balance in their family life, work life and relationships so that they can begin to enjoy life again and reignite that spark! But, what if you are not in a relationship? Maybe you have suffered a loss? Maybe you are suffering crippling anxiety? Maybe you are worried about a loved one or just feel "stuck". If this resonates, call me for a complimentary 15 minute chat and see how we can find a way forward.

Are you feeling exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed? Are you in physical or emotional pain, working relentlessly in different areas of your life: at work, home or study, in relationships, caring or parental roles? Do you need to make sense of, and overcome trauma, feelings of sadness, low-self esteem or burnout? As a third generation British Jamaican Psychologist, managing long-term conditions whilst being a mother of three, I warmly welcome clients of all ages and walks of life, and have a passion for supporting people living alongside mental, physical or neurological difficulties and trauma.

I am a qualified counsellor who works in an integrative way believing that every client is unique and has their own individual requirements. I passionately believe that we all need an empathic and kind ear during the most difficult times in our lives, someone to be there who will listen and sit with us patiently when life feels too hard. At times anxieties, experiences, problems or worries can feel just too heavy to carry alone so that's when counsellors like myself can be of real benefit. I am privileged to say that I have helped my clients work through obstacles that they feel have been holding them back in life.

Firstly I would like to show my admiration for you making this courageous decision to look for help. I know how it feels to be stuck within the world, within yourself. To suffer great sadness and hopelessness. I too, once sat in the client's chair and can appreciate, how significant taking this first step is... Relationships, connections are so powerful within our world. Have you ever thought about the relationship you have with yourself? At Bulb Therapy , I walk alongside you, providing you a safe space to find new meanings, and a greater awareness of who you are and how together we can tackle your difficulties effectively.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for anyone struggling with life's stresses. Are you struggling in your relationship? Have you had enough of the relationship you are in? Do you wish to confidentially think about changes you need in your life. I offer the opportunity to work alongside you short term or in depth to explore your needs fully, and support you in your journey. Do you have an emotional difficulty that you are finding hard to come to terms with? My role is to offer empathy, understanding, kindness and help you to simply cope with life, or towards changing it. Giving you the space and opportunity to feel heard.

Welcome to a safe space. I offer Counselling & Clinical Supervision addressing emotional & psychological distresses which can sometimes feel overwhelming and burdensome. No matter what it is, I am here to listen, accept and support you in confidence as you share your feelings & thoughts in a safe space. I am a registered accredited and experienced Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor with 25+ years working experience of supporting clients in various sectors to improve their mental & emotional well-being. I provide In-Person, Online & Telephone therapy to Adults, Christians, Couples, Families & Groups using an Integrative Approach.

Every individual is unique and we all respond to our environment in different and unique ways. We all deserve to be heard and within each one of us is the ability to change, transform and evolve. One of the most insightful things I’ve learnt as a mental health practitioner is that we are products of our thoughts, experiences and environment. How we think affects our worldview and determines our success in life. Our thoughts affect our physical and mental health and this may have significant impact on our present and future. We will work together to explore your feelings and how to manage your thoughts and relationships.

I am a Gestalt counsellor who will work with you one-to-one either in person or via Zoom or Skype. My main focus as a counsellor is to work with you to explore issues that you feel are holding you back from experiencing a fulfilled life. Together, we will look at the ways in which your experience of the world is proving to be difficult and causing you distress, stuck and unable to move forward. Together we will explore the issues that you are struggling with to enable you to move forward.

Sometimes we reach a point in life where we struggle to see clearly and we even become uncertain about the future and even begin to question our relationships. For some of us, its unhealthy patterns and cycles that we keep on repeating, and find difficult to break free from. There are times in our lives, where the dark cloud of depression overpowers us and it feels like there is no escape, or anxiety that can at times feel crippling. At times we question our self worth and need help rebuilding our confidence back, and restabilising purpose in our lives. Whatever the issues are that you are facing, change is possible!

If you are suffering from symptoms related to PTSD or complex PTSD, EMDR therapy can help to alleviate your symptoms. Clients working with me using EMDR have found that their symptoms such as flashbacks and/or being unable to go to certain places can be alleviated or reduced to the point where they are manageable. This work is supported with self help techniques to manage new anxieties as and when they may present themselves, but from a new and more adaptive perspective.
