Sometimes 'stuff' gets in the way, and life becomes complicated. These difficulties can be temporary, recent and unexpected. Or this can be more complicated and rooted in our lived experience or history. My work focuses on the 'here and now', unpacking and reframing the problem into manageable parts that can be addressed. I specialise in the treatment of Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, Low Self Esteem. I believe in developing an empathetic, and trusting relationship, a vital starting point in our work and ultimately, a happier life. I adhere to the ethics and competencies of The Health and Care Professionals Council.

Life is not always easy. You may be struggling with an event in your life today, or perhaps in your past, that has you unable to move forward. You may be struggling with a family or relationship issue, you may be having problems at work, with a bereavement or with an issue of sexuality. Or does it feel like you are too much? Too sensitive? I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore how you can make the changes you need to live a more fulfilled and happier life. I place the therapeutic relationship at the very heart of what I do. Every individual is unique so my approach is tailored to the individual.

I see the therapeutic space as an opportunity to take a new look at current difficulties, taking into account old and often unconscious issues in order to promote the awareness that leads to more harmonious functioning and more satisfactory relationships. I prioritise establishing a climate of trust in the therapeutic relationship where warmth and empathy are paramount. My experience also reaches to supporting young adults who seek to better understand their concerns and symptoms, which can be in the range of depression, relationship snd family difficulties.

When dialogue becomes painful and difficult we can explore other creative styles that may suit you. You may feel lost, desperate, alone and have tried other avenues but still find your right back at the same place. At a Safe Space we can explore why you are not able to move forward and be the authentic person you can be. We can explore the blocks and barriers and old patterns that have suppressed you in life. I have a strong ethos with supporting clients to explore and set their own inner boundary, therefore allowing and empowering you to find your own inner therapist.

Our consciousness is like a small candle in vast darkness; we must not let it go out. Sometimes when we are faced with life challenges, our mind falters like a candle in the wind; we are confused, sad, angry, or agitated, and at times like this we need listening ears to listen to us and help us decipher our experiences to make sense of what is causing these emotional reactions and pain. Sometimes, confusion and contamination of our minds can be brought about by broken relationships, job loss, bereavement, mental illness, toxic relations, racism, oppression, wrong religious beliefs, divorce and cultural influences to mention a few.

I believe psychotherapy is an opportunity to connect with your Inner-Spirit through a process of reflection and self-awareness. I have a heart-centred approach to therapy and provide a warm, safe environment essential for the healing process to unfold. I work in from an integrative approach using the methods that are suited to the individual needs of each person. By taking a Mind, Body and Soul approach to therapy I can provide a space where you can re-connect to your Inner-Self, your essence, truth, joy, compassion, and sense of aliveness. This authenticity will enables you to reconnect with your Soul Nature.

I know that sometimes taking the first step to seek help may seem like a huge task. Having a confidential space, free of judgement can help you. The thought that no one else can understand how it feels can be paralysing. The feeling that others will judge before helping you may lead you to think that there is no one trustworthy enough. I offer short and long-term therapy. A place to explore your thoughts and feelings and how they impact on their relationships. I am experienced in working with clients suffering with anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, relationship difficulties, bereavement and issues with self-esteem.

I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist & Counsellor (PG Dip Psych, Msc, CTA) I work both long term and short term with individuals and couples. I am also qualified in and incorporate EMDR therapy if suitable. People approach counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes it is just to get clear about a past experience or to change a habit. At times in life you may identify a part, or parts of life, where you feel stuck. I offer an impartial ear and a collaborative space for you to find the clarity or resolve you may be seeking. The process of talking therapy and self understanding can be empowering as a result.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
