Anxiety, depression, trauma and long term physical health problems can reduce your quality of life and leaving you feeling alone and fearful. I am a GMC registered former GP (Reg. No. 3590104) with over 20 years of medical experience, offering a uniquely blended approach to working with people who suffer with all types of anxiety and low mood, chronic stress symptoms, chronic pain and persistent physical symptoms. I also work with people who have ADHD and people who have experienced persistent repeated trauma or a significant single trauma event.

The decision to start counselling can be a daunting one, especially if this is your first time experiencing therapy. Put simply, the very essence and core of this humanist approach is you. From the outset, you will lead the way on what we discuss and explore during your sessions. The focus may be on something specific, or you may be having reoccurring thoughts and feelings, which have a negative impact on your life and you wish to understand these better. ​I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling sessions.

Our heart can feel broken in so many ways; at work, at home, in spirit, in childhood, in relationships. It can be broken at any age, and countless times. Having a toolkit for repairs is essential. We carry around sadness, guilt, shame, pain, darkness, despair and in some cases like fertility we have a sense of desperation, all whilst working, loving, physically changing, caring and achieving. It is possible to feel relief, to let some of the pain go, to gain strength in your character and your confidence, have the ability to heal and grow so you can live a life with less anxiety, worry and horrible thoughts.

With the current climate of fear, I can help you to gain a greater sense of calm and purpose. Every client is unique, so my work with you involves an exploration and understanding of your life and experience from birth to present, including unconscious processes and dreams. I seek to understand thought patterns, fears, obstacles and unhelpful perceptions that stand in the way of love and success. You are encouraged to talk about and understand your feelings, and to learn to distinguish between truth and fear.

I want to help individuals struggling with a negative future outlook, low confidence, persistent fears and worries and stress-related physical issues to learn simple techniques that restore emotional stability, a sense of control and having choices, and hope for the future. I support my clients to gain insight into the sources and systems of their suffering and the impact their thoughts, actions, and environments have on their emotions. I work collaboratively in a comfortable, trusting, and strictly confidential setting.

Life can be challenging, especially in the current times where one's typical support systems and activities are limited or inaccessible. You may be facing a current crisis which has brought you here to look for some help or there may be a longer term issue such as feelings of anxiety, stuckness or relationship difficulties.

People come to therapy for various reasons. Some people come to therapy because they are feeling low, experienced a traumatic episode, whilst others come to therapy for the enriching experience that it is. Psychodynamic therapy is not limited to poor mental health. It is an opportunity to get to know yourself, and why specific scenarios will cause you to behave in the manner that you do. It is time for you, and only you. Once a week, you are invited to flee from distractions, pressures and demands of the external world for an exploratory experience of your inner world.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with the BACP. I work with individuals and with couples for short term and long term periods. I provide a safe and confidential space for my clients to talk and explore the challenges they are facing and how this impacts their life. I respect the individuality of my clients, their experience and capacity to decide and choose their own destiny. You may have a goal or outcome you'd like to achieve, but often you may not, and this is okay. I work relationally and believe the supportive and trusting relationship between myself and my clients helps facilitate change and a way forward.

You’re really busy, from a yearning to succeed, in work and in life. But you often put a lot of pressure on yourself to perform and achieve to a high standard. You might fear that you’ll fail, and you are often hard on yourself for your flaws and mistakes. With all that pressure to be perfect, thinking that you’re not good enough, no wonder you might feel tired and unhappy at times, from the lack of rest, recovery and balance in your life. You might feel like you have lost your sense of direction, feeling stressed, anxious or depressed. I can help you come out of that dark hole again.

Anxiety, Body Image, Addictions, Dependencies and more. Are you struggling with a situation or relationship? Do you feel stuck in patterns that no longer work for you? Perhaps you feel frustrated, sad or scared but can't identify the cause. Whatever you bring, I provide a safe and confidential environment and work with sensitivity and insight.
