I have experience in helping clients with challenges relating to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief - as symptoms of existing conditions, and/or as responses to circumstantial stress. I am also experienced in helping clients with the management of neurodivergent disorders (ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder). My approach pulls away from over analysis and rumination, towards figuring out how to sustainably feel and be better. This is accomplished by emphasising healthy thinking, health feeling and healthy behaving.

The wound is the place where the light enters you. - Rumi. Through dealing with my own wounds, I have realized that psychology gives me perspective. I do not take for granted, the priviledge of being part of a very personal process with my clients. I hope to create conditions in which my clients can empower themselves. During 2021 I had my radio, online, and TV debut. Mental health awareness and health promotion is very important to me. Psychology is not only what I do, it forms a profound part of who I am.

Hello, I'm Jodie! You might be coping on the outside while feeling overwhelmed on the inside. Life can feel heavy, uncertain or demanding and it can be difficult to make sense of everything being carried, especially when expectations continue to pile up. Anxiety, low mood, stress, grief, or significant life changes such as shifts in relationships, work, identity, or relocating can quietly add to this sense of strain. What is often needed is a space to slow down, speak openly, and feel understood without judgement, alongside support that helps bring clarity, steadiness, and a clearer way forward.

Life, from time to time, can become a struggle for all of us, and often we feel the desire to reach out for some understanding or companionship. However, we still live in an age where seeking support or help is often regarded as a sign of weakness. I believe the complete opposite. To seek out help and support in your darkest hours in order to better understand yourself and overcome your difficulties is a sign of true bravery and courage. By reaching out, you take the first courageous step toward healing, growth, and reclaiming your inner strength.

I work in a structured, practical way rather than an open-ended one. We start by getting clear on what is actually keeping you stuck, the thinking patterns, the habits, the avoidance loops, and then we build tools you can use between sessions. My approach draws on cognitive behavioural principles, so sessions are collaborative and goal-focused: you leave with something to try, not just something to think about. A first conversation is simply a chance to talk through what has been going on and see whether working together feels like a good fit, with no pressure to commit to anything beyond that.

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties, stress, burnout, or a loss of purpose? Lasting change is possible. I believe healing begins when we understand the connection between the brain, nervous system, emotions, and behaviour. Rather than simply treating symptoms, I help clients understand why they feel stuck and develop practical, evidence-based strategies that create lasting change through psychology, neuroscience, Eastern Medicine, and holistic wellbeing.

Adults and students carrying unresolved emotional pain, persistent anxiety, or repeating patterns — often high-functioning on the outside, yet privately struggling. Anxiety, depression, phobias, eating difficulties, or behaviour patterns that won't shift — and a willingness to look deeper. Using Medical Hypnoanalysis and complementary approaches, I uncover root causes, not just symptoms. Direct, compassionate, and deeply personalised — the goal is genuine transformation.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
