I value individual differences, honesty, integrity, finding your own path, standing out from the crowd, connection and relationship. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers. I know that i am not a fixer and i don't have all the answers, although I might have a suggestion or two. I know that I am ok to sit with people in chaos. I can tolerate stuckness and I am not afraid to be afraid, nor walk into a dark place. My aim as a therapist is to create a space where you can explore your difficulties, develop an understanding of where and how these difficulties arise to enable you to find ways to make changes.

Difficult, painful or confusing experience can feel hard to make sense of alone, so having a safe space to explore them in a new ways and perspective can help process and digest what is happening, whether you are feeling anxious, stuck, low or restricted in your current situation. Respect, honesty, safety and empathy are the pillars of my long established confidential psychotherapy counselling practice. I offer a warm, safe non-judgmental therapeutic environment, to support you and in which we can work together through your difficulties.

My main work consists of Couples counselling as well as trauma focused work, which includes childhood trauma. The work involves psycho education around brain fragments, where clients work to assess when they are operating from the frontal lobe and when they switch to the limbic system where they are reliving old trauma memories. Since Covid there has been an increased demand for couples work. A lot of work is around working with couples in troubled relationships. I work with children and young people who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse as well as bereavement support work.

Winner of the Midlands Enterprise Award 2023: 'Most Supportive Counselling & Psychotherapy service!' My services are for those who desire some kind of help and change. Mental health issues, in my view, are most often manifested from our relationships with other people and the world around us. The environments and relationships we grew up in tend to impact how we interact and problem solve in the present moment, and the patterns we repeat in our lives. Our relationships to ourselves, others and the world heavily influence how we tend to think, feel, and cope with the situations we find ourselves in.

Depression, anxiety, relationship issues and bereavement are few of the problems Person-Centred therapy can help with, to find ways to progress and find balance in such difficult times. If unresolved trauma is what has brought you to seek counselling, know that counselling will help you get to the resolution you need.

Many clients, with no prior knowledge of counselling, believe that the counsellor will sort their problems out for them. I will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence. During our sessions, I will help you to realise what resources and support are available to you that you can use to work through your own issues, build your self-confidence and appreciate that you always have options. I will treat you as the expert on yourself, as no-one else knows exactly what it’s like to be you.

Coming to therapy for the first time can be a daunting experience and it’s the job of the therapist to facilitate you feeling comfortable by building a non-intrusive, respectful relationship. This relationship is significant in enabling change to happen. Counselling/Psychotherapy will provide you a safe and confidential space to explore what you bring to therapy. I believe strongly in therapy and its capacity to help people heal and by going through a process of understanding, painful, difficult, traumatic and life troubling events. To explore these events, we will provide you with a non-judgemental, empathic, confidential space.

If you're feeling lost in life, unmotivated, confused, stuck, hurt or anything else that holds you back from living a happier, more contented, productive life then therapy may well be for you. If you're ready for change and committed to putting in the work to help me to help you, then let's work together. I enjoy my work immensely and feel it so important that every one of my clients feel heard, respected and valued. I have a relaxed yet professional approach, am open minded, caring and empathetic as well as spiritual.

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 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.
