I work integratively bringing together a number of modalities, Person Centred, CBT, Existential, Psychodynamics, and Gestalt practices, while working very much through a medium of empathy with my client. Some areas of specialism: trauma, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, and gender-based violence, ADHD. I identify as complex neurodivergent.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their ethical code ,and I am committed to non-discriminatory practices and to fostering equality in the therapeutic relationship.

It takes courage and strength to begin this journey. You might be feeling overwhelmed, confused and don’t really know where to turn. Are you in emotional distress and struggling with your mental health? I offer a safe nurturing space where you can truly be yourself. A confidential space where you will be accepted for who you are and where you are in your life, with no judgement and my full attention and respect. This is a time for you to explore your needs and concerns, together we can explore and navigate whatever difficulties or emotional pain you are facing. This is a journey that we can take together, side by side.

Each and every one of us needs support at different times in our life, reaching for support is not a weakness but a strength. I am an experienced BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, Fusion Therapeutic Life Coach, EFT practitioner, EMDR and REWIND (fast trauma release) therapist, who can support you at a time when you feel overwhelmed, upset or anxious. You will receive confidential, non-judgemental time and space so you can safely relax and focus on you, your solutions and your future.

How do you choose a therapist? Personal recommendations are invaluable and, also, your individual needs might be different. My endeavour is to facilitate your self awareness as well as your awareness of others and situations. Whichever modality of therapy you choose our work together gently directs your awareness to ‘what is happening but, also, to ‘how you are viewing and applying yourself’ when in difficulty. This can be radically different to many ‘non directive’ therapies and can involve real change quite quickly!
