I believe that choosing counselling can be a vital and radical act of self care. The counselling relationship is like no other. I am here for you to explore what is getting in the way of feeling fulfilled. Maybe you have had difficult experiences in the past which are impacting on your present and how you see your future. Perhaps you don't feel in control of your emotional responses and wonder why they happen. Together we can figure out what is going on for you and find new ways to understand your experiences. I'm not here to fix you but to help you access hope.

Thinking about counselling can feel daunting. I’m here to listen and support you explore issues that may be affecting your well-being and relationships around you. My approach is informed by humanistic principles which means I work in a relational way with you while providing a safe and inclusive environment where you can explore and process your thoughts without judgment. You may have work and life issues, relationship worries or deeper underlying concerns that we can work through together.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or low self esteem, I want to walk alongside you and help you. I aim to offer an approach that is suitable to what you are going through, where you feel met and understood. I want to help you to understand the impact your past has had in forming who you are and how you can let go of some of the things that have caused you pain and how you can grow in self awareness and self confidence and become who you were born to be.

Many of us face a variety of ups and downs throughout our lifespan. While family or friends can often help us, this may not always be possible, or additional support may be needed. A qualified counsellor can help to explore or change something in our lives which may be holding us back. We will explore your thoughts and feelings together, within a safe and confidential space with sessions adapted depending on individual needs. Through training and attending sessions myself I understand the difference it can make and am passionate about the process. I look forward to meeting you should you decide to take the leap and get in touch.

It’s when you sense, or realise, that things can’t remain the same and yet you feel frozen, unable to act, and you don’t know what to do. A personal crisis might leave you feeling powerless and anxious. Then you find that the ways in which you generally deal with problems aren’t working: the people you’d usually turn to for support aren’t enough, they might be too involved with the issues you’re facing. You might also feel unwell. It’s not uncommon to feel anxious, depressed or emotionally fragile. This is when counselling can help. I offer Face to Face, Walk and Talk, Online and Telephone Counselling.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to do something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? I've always been fascinated by the power of the brain - how it can work for us and against us. With over 7 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand how our mindset can either lift us up or hold us back.

I practice as a Mindfulness Based Cognitive psychological trainer. I have worked with many clients including, Olympic & Paralympic athletes, pro golfers, pro footballers, university sports, pro cycling, creatives, leaders & organisations. I train people in how to enhance their self-belief for: performance optimisation, emotional regulation, resilience & effective decision making. Pressure in performance environments is a certainty & how we perceive pressure determines our response. We can choose how to think about pressure and this depends on our level of self-belief, the essential ingredient when navigating demanding environments.

All of us need to find resilience at times of stress, or just to deal with day to day issues that may cause us anxiety and impact on the quality of our lives. Life events such as bereavement or change affect us in different ways with no simple, correct way to respond. I offer a way to share issues and find solutions beyond family and friendship groups, within a therapeutic relationship.

We all have times in our lives when our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming and we need someone to talk and think with. Sometimes something has happened in life, like a break up or bereavement and other times you might not be sure where these difficult feelings are coming from. Therapy offers a safe and confidential space to discuss anything on your mind, helping you to gain more self-understanding and work through whatever is troubling you.
