Sometimes you want to be heard, truly heard. To have someone to talk to about whatever is on your mind, to be listened to without being judged or told what to do. If you are feeling unheard, anxious, upset or overwhelmed, I am here to listen and help you to explore your feelings, to better understand them and feel more in control. I offer a safe and confidential space where we can explore whatever is troubling you. By exploring your thoughts and feelings, both past and present, I can help you to better understand yourself and to accept and let go of what has been weighing you down, to allow you to move forward.

Are you facing difficulties in life? Our experiences can make us pessimistic, assume the worst, be constantly worried about the past repeating itself and anxious about the future. Sometimes it can feel there’s no way out. It doesn’t have to be this way, you can change the way you think, in turn changing your outcomes, interactions, behaviours, and experiences. Well done for taking the first step to go to therapy, the next step is choosing the right therapist. I can help you explore your thoughts, where they stem from, work with you to build resiliency, healthy habits and help you achieve your therapy goals.

If you are struggling with your emotions, relationships or feel stuck in unhelpful patterns, psychotherapy could help bring about meaningful change. I provide a non-judgmental space to explore underlying dynamics and emotional conflicts. Gaining a better understanding of yourself can make it possible to move away from the unhelpful patterns and can help facilitate healthy developments within your personal and professional life.

Would you like to change the way you feel sometimes, or be able to handle certain situations better? Perhaps your relationship has come to a stale mate and you need somewhere to explore your feelings and thoughts? I have helped people with anxiety/stress, relationship issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, work and family conflicts, loneliness, trauma and much more. I am trained in Couples Therapy should you wish to explore this avenue with your partner.

Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, outside of our immediate circle, who will listen without judgement. There are so many reasons why we seek counselling and for each person these reasons may change over time. Whilst counselling for one person may be about releasing and being heard, for someone else it may be to work on the past or for another to work on current challenges or towards a future goal. Driven by the nature of our work together, I employ creative and/or practical methods, depending on your preferences and what you feel you need from your sessions. As each client’s needs vary, so does the therapy that I provide.

Dealing with difficult emotions can feel overwhelming and scary. Are you feeling anxious or stressed, or feel like you are trapped in a situation that you see no way out from? Whether it's your relationships, feelings about yourself or the world around you, seeking counselling can be the first steps to empowering yourself to make positive changes in your life. With the world feeling so precarious right now, and our lives being turned upside down, it can feel like the control you once had has now been taken away. Traumatic, upsetting experiences can all lead to adverse mental health.

If you are feeling troubled and are not sure how to move forward it may be a relief to talk things through. I specialise in working with people who have lost someone close, experienced a trauma that haunts them or an unexpected change in life such as a sudden loss, a health, work, or family problem. Difficulties in your relationships or work can cause anxiety, anger and loneliness in daily life and impact your sense of self. Often problems stem from the past, and unhealthy patterns can re-emerge. I can offer a safe space where together we can explore, locate, and work through what is troubling you so as to help you move forward.

I truly believe that, as human beings, we are all wonderfully unique and have an innate desire to lead a life of fulfillment and purpose. Sometimes, however, we can become disconnected from ourselves, others and the world around us. We can feel lost, disillusioned, and asking ourselves the question ‘how did I get here’? I understand seeking support can feel overwhelming, but being alone with it all can feel just as hard. I provide a space where we can meet and work together at your own pace to explore the challenges that brought you here.

WHY ME....? Most profiles correctly tell you they will provide a safe place to work through things that are on your mind. What I also bring is a unique mix of outlook, training and experience drawn from different theories and techniques that will be tailored to meet your individual needs. You are in charge of goals and subject matter (as you are the expert on you!) and I am a curious professional bystander to help you notice, understand & manage what's going on. I encourage awareness and expression of the difficult stuff that might not often come up. I listen but I also ask a lot of questions.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family, friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you.

I believe that a counselling relationship can be helpful, supportive, insightful and cathartic at any stage of life when difficulties or confusion arise that impact on emotional well-being or the ability to bond and connect with others. You may be seeking to be heard and understood, to make sense of what's going on or to discover yourself, find purpose and direction through talking about your lived experience, feelings and relational dynamics.

Are you struggling with life and work demands? Are you facing difficult life transitions or perhaps have lost pleasure in activities that you once enjoyed? Maybe you cannot identify what is troubling you, but just know that things don't seem quite right. I appreciate that taking the first steps and reaching out to someone can be daunting, so it is important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable working with. Whatever the reason that brings you to therapy, together we can create a treatment plan that suits your needs, so that you can lead a more fulfilling life.
