The distressing impact of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and addictions are often confusing and difficult to make sense of. They are often rooted in our earlier life and relationships but triggered by current circumstances in the present. By exploring your problems in the context of your past and present life, in therapy, this will help you to make sense of your experiences. Through this understanding you will be in a better place, with the guidance of your therapist, to make changes that will make a positive difference to your life.

Sometimes life experiences can leave you feeling lost and confused, behaving in ways which you can’t understand, testing your understanding of yourself, your relationships, choices and other aspects of your life. When you seek counselling, you’re making a significant decision to give yourself the time to explore these aspects of your life.

I use an integrative style of counselling built on a person-centered foundation. An integrative approach allows your sessions to be tailored and adapted to you through an eclectic range of therapeutic approaches, models, and tools. While the person-centered foundation provides you with a non judgmental, empathetic, and attuned relationship that allows for a genuine connection to emerge and flourish.

Welcome to my page! My journey to Spiritual Psychotherapy and Soul Counselling began 30+ years ago during the extensive study of Yoga, Meditation, and Eastern Philosophy. This led me to become a yoga and meditation teacher in order to assist others to find their way back 'home' to wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. Eventually I was led to a study of western psychology. I am confident that my experience in both fields of spirituality and psychology has given me a unique opportunity to be able to access the Soul layers of our psyche to facilitate deeper levels of integration, healing, insight, self-awareness, and self-empowerment.

Welcome, I am a registered Clinical Psychologist offering high quality, compassionate, therapy. You may be here because you are feeling anxious, stressed, perhaps struggling with low self-esteem or critical self-talk, or dealing with the impact of difficult experiences. I aim to create safe, non-judgemental, space where we can work together to explore the source of your troubles, increase understanding, reduce distress, and build new skills and perspectives. Specialist interests include anxiety, burnout and stress, trauma, low mood, and long-term health conditions (e.g., pain/fatigue).

I have gained a distinction in MSc in Counselling and also qualified as an EMDR Therapist (Gold Standard Therapy recognised by: World Health Organisation, etc). I am an Integrative Therapist which means that I draw on a range of different approaches to meet clients particular needs. I am also a qualified Clinical Supervisor for other therapists. I offer a highly professional service which is underpinned by valid scientific research. I appreciate that accessing therapy can be daunting; therefore, I am welcoming, very accepting and do my best to create a genuinely warm and safe environment. The relationship is vital positive outcomes.

My clients come to me from all walks of life and have experienced trauma recently or in the past. This has resulted in my clients suffering from intense anxiety and fears and/or severe depression as well as relationship difficulties. My clients can feel stuck, vulnerable and helpless, which has such a disabling impact on their lives. I have the ability to initiate and maintain a confidential therapeutic relationship, where my clients feel safe, experience hope and a reduction of their psychological symptoms. My clients leave therapy feeling empowered and able to manage life's stresses. I have clinics in Chester, Heswall and Mold.

I offer a warm and supportive environment for you to explore what you are going through in a safe space. I can also explore healthy coping strategies and resources to support you in your journey through healing and development.

I combine both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Solution Focused Therapy. Both well-established therapy techniques share certain basic similarities by focusing on helping the client identify solutions while decreasing the emphasis on the past. While SFT emphasizes the importance of the present, CBT facilitates changes in negative thinking patterns that lead to pre-occupation with past problems. Effective combination of both therapies can enable clients to focus on the positive elements of their life while gaining new confidence to achieve life goals.

Am I meeting you in times of personal or professional crisis? Or are you coming to counselling to gain perspective in life? I have witnessed enough of my clients’ transformations and breakthroughs to have complete confidence in the restorative power of counselling therapy. My Master's Degree in Philosophy as well as Therapeutic Counselling training and simply years of experience of working with people have prepared me to walk alongside you in search for balance and meaning in life.
