UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist and BACP Registered counsellor with 24 years experience. I use an integrative/relational approach, viewing each person as unique, and as such I use a coherent combination of therapeutic ideas and working relationship that will best suit you as an individual. This may involve looking at current difficulties, your past, clarifying and understanding your thoughts and behaviours and helping you to understand and express your emotions. In this way we will work together to find a way through problems that are troubling you to negotiate a more satisfying and less stressful way of living.

Therapy works whatever the presentation when the connection with the client/patient is a positive one and it becomes a mutual endeavour to feel better and work in goals. The majority of clients present with wanting help with relationships and/or sex. Therapy helps deepen both physical and sexual intimacy and invariably better understanding of relationships. Many of my clients want to improve sex and their relationships. People want to be understood and not shamed for their thoughts, actions feelings

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. You may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious or lonely. Or, you may have been struggling for some time and haven’t found the motivation to address it but now that struggle may be feeling a little bigger.

Are you struggling with difficult feelings, feeling low or fed up of feeling bad about yourself? I am an experienced counsellor working with issues including low self esteem and confidence, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, feeling sad, relationship problems, bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, separation and divorce, redundancy and stress at work. Counselling can give you the time to focus on you, in a warm and empathetic space, without judgement. This time can give much needed clarity and a place to talk honestly and openly, away from our lives. Counselling is an investment in your future well being.

I am a counselling psychologist with over 20 years experience working with children, adults, couples and families. I use solution focused, positive therapies that get you closer to your goals and values, teaching you tools and techniques to manage your life better and live life as you need to. I work with mental health conditions - anxieties, depression, phobias, confidence issues, relationship breakdowns, smoking cessation and weight loss, just to name a few!

It can be difficult to choose a therapist and to understand the various titles therapists go by, as well as the different types of therapies and counselling on offer. However, I personally think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a safe supportive space to explore current difficulties. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work.

There are many issues that can impact our way of living. Whether the impact is great or small, sometimes we need support to help us through these times. I hope to be able to provide you with a space to explore some of the issues that you may be experiencing. I am a Registered Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist (MBACP) and Trainee CBT Therapist, which means that I can draw upon a range of psychotherapeutic approaches in supporting you. I am able to offer both telephone & remote video sessions.

Sometimes are coping strategies and the ways we relate to others may become problematic. Relationships may have broken down, you may be suffering from anxiety, depression or low self esteem. You may have lost someone very close to you or something that was really important to you in your life, be it a loved one, a pet, a job, a way of life, youth, health, or culture. I support people during this painful period in their lives to work through these feelings. It is normal to experience a range of emotions but there’s no right or wrong way to grieve no matter who or what you are grieving for.
