You may be considering therapy to address specific difficulties such as depression, the impact of trauma, or difficulties in relationships with others, or you may have a wish for personal growth. Therapy recognises the importance of our experiences and our relationships or contact with others and our efforts to manage these. It offers the opportunity to gain an understanding of ourselves, of how we think, feel, behaviour & relate (including with ourselves) & consider change. After almost 30 years of working as a therapist in the NHS I moved into independent practice.

Do you ever feel trapped in your own head, criticised, disconnected, or on high alert? that you’re pretending, failing, or just “wrong”?
Maybe you’ve spent years people-pleasing, holding in anger, or carrying shame that was never yours to begin with. Perhaps you’re exhausted from replaying old patterns, yet no matter what you try, they don’t seem to shift.
Therapy with me is a chance to stop circling in self-doubt and start discovering who you are beneath it all. Together, we can work to loosen the grip of perfectionism, self-hatred, or fear, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and yours.

Do you want to understand what makes you-you and why you see the world the way you do? Do you want to increase confidence, learn how to cope with triggers and people without becoming reactive?

No session or client is the same, and I embrace and encourage individuality. When we are accepted, we can tackle difficulties and explore complicated feelings. I want to offer you my full acceptance and a safe space to make the changes you want.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
