Deciding to come for counselling can be a difficult decision in itself, particularly if you have never experienced it before... the thought of sharing your feelings with a stranger can be very daunting. I fully understand this, and appreciate the importance of finding the right counsellor for you. If you are looking for a warm, compassionate environment where you will be properly listened to, where there is complete acceptance of who you are as a person with no judgement, you will find it within my quiet and comfortable therapy room, and I look forward to welcoming you to it.

I felt that I can use my skills from when i was a social worker to work with people who feel that they would benefit from talking to someone about what is happening to your life at the moment. I can be that person to give you that space for talk to about what is happening in your life(s) at this moment. I can work with you on issues that are causing your stress , anxiety bereavement and loss or you might have family relationship difficulties people close to you . As a counsellor I would be able to help you to work through those feelings. I work primarily with adults and i also work with couples on your relationship

At any point in our lives we can find ourselves overwhelmed and at a loss to know what to do to. We may experience a degree of distress that impacts on how we would like to live our life. This could be, but isn't limited to, anxiety, low self esteem, feeling overwhelmed with rage and anger, struggling to make yourself understood, feeling stressed and unhappy, the impact of loss or traumatic events or living with a disability that makes it difficult to express their feelings to others. I understand that by contacting me you have a reached a point where you want help therefore I aim to respond promptly to any enquiry.

Life has a way of taking us down some pretty rough roads at times, and it can make us feel alone, anxious, angry, confused, all sorts of emotions, that when left can build and bring us down even further. Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed and it can interfere with our enjoyment of life and keep us stuck. Breath, you are not alone. Sometimes you just need someone to hear you. I’m here to listen and assist you with the issues you are experiencing. I have a passion for helping people learn to cope with and overcome the issues that are hindering their lives. It can be daunting to reach out, but that is where I can help.

I found my way to being a Psychologist because I am deeply curious about people and what makes us ‘tick’ and I struggle to see suffering without doing something to help. For most of my week, I work for the NHS in the Complex Needs Service, with people who have experienced trauma and who have complex emotional needs. I am also a DBT Therapist in our NHS Trust’s small DBT Service. Whether you're looking for help with serious mental health difficulties or you're just feeling stuck and struggling with motivation, Psychological Therapy can help!

Are you a concerned parent of a child or teen grappling with their emotional, behavioural, or mental well-being? Do you recognise any of these challenges in your child?

If you're struggling to find effective ways to help, if your well-intentioned efforts, such as talking to them, providing reassurance or encouragement, seem to lead to dead ends, I'm here to assist.
