Counselling in SY7

Hello, I am a chartered counselling psychologist offering online therapy across the UK. I aim to create a genuine, hopeful environment in which change is possible. Much of my experience concerns people who have experienced trauma, bereavement and transitions of all kinds, and I understand how grief and trauma can be held in the body. I also work with anxiety, stress, family and relationship issues, depression, low self-esteem, and with people seeking change of any kind. I work with adults of all ages, and I welcome clients of all backgrounds, sexualities, relationship styles and gender identifications.

Life can sometimes present us with challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed and confused. We can sometimes feel trapped, experiencing repetitive thought patterns without a clear solution in sight. Perhaps you are currently feeling low or lost; you may be going through a really difficult situation such as a separation, a redundancy, a health issue, or maybe you have recently lost a loved one and you are struggling to cope. It could be that you experienced a traumatic event, and you need a safe space to process what has happened to you. Whatever your situation, I am here to support you.

Are you experiencing difficulty with weight loss? You may have tried many different diets, but can never do them for long, or regain the weight you have lost. Diets do not work in the long term. In fact, going on a strict ‘diet’ can lead to yo-yo dieting and weight gain. Some people find they start a diet as many as 5 or 6 times a year, and people do on average 126 fad diets across their lifetime. How much time, energy, money, and effort is that? I can help you get out of the dieting cycle for good, by helping you to find what works for you, and a way to stick at it.

We live in challenging times and it's easy to feel overwhelmed and in need of a little help. I am a very experienced counsellor, professionally accredited by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists for more than fifteen years. It has been my privilege to work with clients between 8 and 81 years of age in numerous settings including GP surgeries, schools, counselling agencies and my own longstanding private practice.

If you would like to talk to someone in confidence, without judgement and without the worry of burdening or upsetting someone then give me a call. I am here to offer a listening ear to anyone who is finding their life tough or challenging. I offer a safe space for you to talk freely about your concerns and issues. I give you the support you need to enable you to discover what is the best way forward for you, thereby giving you the best chance of a fulfilling life.

Are you struggling with intense emotions, feeling over-whelmed, lost or stuck? Perhaps you are aware that there are issues to be better understood or patterns to be explored but you are unsure how or where to begin to free up energy for change. Nervous system-informed psychological therapy can help. It will guide you towards understanding your situation from the foundation, to find peace with the past, gain insight, and make genuine lasting change.

Do you struggle to communicate with your partner. One or both of you end up getting angry and issues don't get resolved. Has one of you has had an affair? You may have erection problems, difficulty orgasming, painful penetration or lack or no desire for sex. Have you found yourself or your partner using more and more pornography or behaving sexually in a way that isn't acceptable or is out of control. You want to creat a better relationship. You want to recover from the pain of betrayal.
