If you struggle with your own identity - not knowing your own likes/dislikes/values (sometimes called codependency), then get in touch.
I help through gentle exploration. I believe we each have an innate wisdom to know what direction we need to grow in, but sometimes we lose touch with this, when we’ve we’ve lost the ability to tap into our wisdom (via our emotions) because it can all feel too scary or overwhelming, or we can "numb out".

The idea of my approach is an integrative one: I've studied, and I'm qualified to deliver, a mixed modality of therapies to address client issues. From psychodynamic active listening and using a safe space to get things out in the open, or perhaps using CBT techniques to address something specific, either way - I'm equipped to help guide you through what it is that is troubling you, or holding you back, from moving forward.

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and have spent my career in Adult Mental Health services in the NHS, supporting people individually and in groups. My clinical practice aims to foster increased psychological flexibility to support becoming more emotionally open, cognitively flexible, aware in the present moment and actively engaged in a meaningful life. Between life’s busyness and navigating struggles we can become disconnected from ourselves and what matters to us, spending our days trying to cope rather than living. With compassion we can create a space, a gap within the struggle, to heal and reconnect with your life.

You may be struggling with direction in life/career, distressing thoughts, self-defeating behaviours or intense emotions which seem uncontrollable despite you looking for change. Perhaps you don't think you are able to change and are unsure if you really can. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based modality regarded as the gold standard to alleviate psychological distress and initiate positive behavioural changes. You are looking for change and are taking the initial steps to do so - well done! I have experience working with sports and exercise to enhance performance and also to enhance your life in all areas.

Counselling is a safe place for you to stop, take stock and explore the parts of your life that you are finding difficult. It is a time for you to use for whatever you decide, and always without pressure or judgement. I have particular experience in working with trauma and sexual abuse, but you can use counselling for all sorts of issues, for example self-esteem, stress, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationships, suicidal thoughts, harassment at work, identity issues, breakup, or decision-making. Dealing with ‘unwanted habits’ of whatever kind can be a large part of counselling.

As a psychodynamic Counsellor, I provide a safe, professional and non-judgemental space. This allows you to explore whatever is troubling you currently. Your current difficulties might be rooted in the past, where patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving were established. These patterns can cause difficulty in the present and leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
I work collaboratively to make sense of patterns, conflicts and motivations, that may be outside of your conscious awareness. This has the potential to give you more insight into your way of relating and behaving and therefore more agency in your life.

If you struggle with emotions (anger, resentment, grief, depression or anxiety) and want to work through emotional baggage, I could be the therapist to create a safe space where you can talk openly about what has happened in your life and figure out how to create a fulfilling life. This often involves working through core wounds such as abandonment and neglect, which can be challenging but ultimately reduces emotional suffering. People struggle with various emotions and thoughts, such as anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, and we are usually left overwhelmed with nowhere to go and no one to speak to.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
