I am an experienced and committed Integrative Child and Adolescent Counsellor. I am passionate about enabling children and young people to tell their stories, make sense of their inner worlds and develop the capacity for deeply fulfilling relationships. Using metaphor, imagery and healing conversations I help children work effectively with their emotional difficulties, which can be unbearable and difficult to understand. Staying present, attuned and attentive throughout the child’s personal journey, I am able to hold their discomfort, their sadness and their anger and stay with them in the process.

Treatment for mental health matters. Grief and other challenges we may face in life is not a one size fits all approach. This is because you are unique, which makes your worries and problems unique too. Being an integrative counsellor gives us the opportunity to find a counselling approach that recognises your individuality and receive a service that compliments you and your needs.

Many people come to counselling because they can't understand why they think or feel like they do. Maybe you feel misunderstood or unheard or anxious a lot of the time. Maybe you are down or depressed and possibly struggling to see the point sometimes. Has something happened or changed in your life that you are struggling to make sense of. You may have lost someone or something and are finding it hard to come to terms with. Whatever is troubling you I will provide a trusted, accepting and safe space where you can move towards your acceptance and understanding of yourself.

Clients approach me when they are seeking greater fulfilment in their lives. Anxiety, fear, and stress, can sometimes affect the relationship we have with ourselves and others . Clients always need to know that they are listened to and taken seriously. This is achieved by helping clients to become more tolerant and kinder to themselves. This is what I believe is the basis to my style of Psychotherapy.

I am a qualified, integrative counsellor with experience of working with both adults and young people. I also work with organizations and EAP schemes, and happily accept new enquiries from these. Experiencing difficulties in life, while this may be inevitable, can be incredibly painful and isolating. My aim within my practice is to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic environment, where you can freely explore your concerns and worries. Taking that first step in counselling and finding the right therapist can be a daunting prospect, so I will endeavour to make sure that you feel as comfortable as possible.

I have the best job in the world: it’s to help you find the peace you’re looking for. That’s what I’ve been doing, first as a shamanic counsellor then as a psychotherapist, for others just like you, for 46 years. Whether you have a phobia, or are in a dire, life-threatening situation, or anything in between, you’re just a call away from finding yourself warmly welcomed to a totally non-judgemental, safe, comfortable space where you can relax and unload whatever you want in total confidence: then we can get straight to work fixing it.

I like to work in a target focussed way, meaning at the beginning of treatment we will decide what you want to achieve from therapy and collaboratively work towards your goals; whether this is through the modality of CBT or counselling, we can be clear about what you wish to achieve from our time working together.

HG psychotherapy aims to restore that control in the shortest time possible by working with effective tools and modern knowledge to resolve most difficulties, whether expressed as trauma, anxiety, phobia, depression, addiction, or other obstacles to well-being.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
