I am a BACP registered Therapist with a BA(Hons) Counselling Psychology degree. I have 12 years and 5000+ hours of clinical experience. I believe in Therapy because it is life changing. Many of us are fiercely independent & also overworked, exhausted, resentful & isolated. But you don’t have to wait until you’re at your breaking point before you ask for help or support. The thought of sharing our personal feelings & experiences with a stranger is scary. But with the right therapist - it can be the most rewarding thing you ever do. It creates room for growth, room for you to release built up emotion & more.

Counselling and psychotherapy are not only for those who are distressed, but for anybody who would like to explore themselves and how they relate to others and the world around them. In a world where we are often busy and have little time for our emotions, psychotherapy can help you to understand yourself better, allowing you the chance to delve into your inner world, exploring what is holding you back in life and impacting your wellbeing. Therapy is also an excellent place to learn more rewarding ways of relating to others.

Is undealt anxiety spoiling your daily life? Going through problems alone can be challenging at times and therapy can offer a new perspective into opportunities for personal growth and in-depth self-discovery, handling difficult thoughts, feelings, and belief systems that we may find too complicated to discuss with loved ones? My role as a therapist is to help you understand yourself better. In the sessions, I create a safe, confidential and non-judgemental setting in which you may explore and freely express your current and past difficulties that may be causing feelings of ‘stuck-ness’ or difficulty to move forward in your life.

My commitment to enhancing individuals' well-being led me to focus on substance misuse and anxiety, where I engaged in comprehensive research and practical applications. This academic journey equipped me with advanced knowledge and a nuanced understanding of the intricacies surrounding addiction services and mental health. As a professional dedicated to the intersection of mental health and substance misuse, I continue to leverage my expertise to make meaningful contributions in this critical field.

We live in a challenging world. There are times in our lives when we must endure pain, stress and loss whilst holding our business and personal lives together. Some people choose to work through their issues alone, perhaps considering reaching for help is as a sign of weakness. However, all healthy humans require personal connections. Talking with someone who has no relationship to your daily life, willing to listen and understand your concerns can help. I understand the pressures of difficult emotions and circumstances.
