I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with you as an individual, to meet your specific needs. I keep my client numbers low in order to really get to know you and work to meet your needs. I use Counselling skills, CBT, and Solution focused therapy to help you to raise your awareness and achieve the goals and outcomes you want and need. Together we can make a plan and set goals to get you to where you want to be, with new insights and understanding. We can work at your pace, in bite sized chunks. I use worksheets and articles for you to explore relevant topics between sessions, to keep that motivation flowing.

Sometimes in life we come across challenges that are too big to manage and cope with by ourselves. We can feel 'stuck' lost and isolated with our problems, unable to find a way forward. There could be a heavy weight of unhappiness and you are unable to pinpoint why. Past events could be affecting the way you are in the world today. Anxiety or depression may be holding you back from experiencing life and relationships in the way that you want to.

Clients I see and work with bring a range of relational difficulties and traumas which present in very individual ways. Parents often feel judged when they are doing the best they can under difficult circumstances, and trust in others becomes unsafe. Children may struggle with anxiety, behavioural difficulties, withdraw, not trusting adults and feel isolated. Children want to feel safe and secure in their world with their family to thrive and flourish, and parents want to provide these for their children, but can find they need some support during difficult and challenging times in their lives.

Through professional training and personal experience, I specialise in providing counselling for bereavement and loss, self harm and any pregnancy related issues, whilst also being able to provide support in other areas.
Bereavement doesn’t only cover the loss of a loved one, this is an expansive area where we experience loss, whether this is the loss of a home, a relationship a job or indeed the passing of someone we love. We can also experience grief with the loss of a way of life, friendship and loss of an expected future or expectation of something happening in a certain way. Loss can create an array of emotions and thoughts which I can help you to unpick and understand enabling you to feel a sense of calm again.

As a HCPC registered art therapist and EMDR practitioner who’s worked in perinatal mental health since qualifying, I’ve continue to specialise in this area; supporting in depression, anxiety, parental identity, birth trauma, baby loss, and bonding & attachment.
The journey from conception through to raising an infant/s, is a profound one. For many, it raises complicated feelings about their own experience of being parented, their identity, relationships, and bond with baby. Though this is a normal process at a transitional period in an individual's life, it can be unsettling and confusing. All would hope to find meaning and joy within this experience, but it can become eclipsed by loss or intense emotional distress when things do not go as hoped. In these moments, therapy can help individuals to make sense of this, build confidence and parent within authentic their values.

I also have experience working with emergency service personnel and women during the perinatal period.
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner offering one to one EMDR therapy to adults. In our time together, we would aim to develop a shared understanding of your life - its significant events and relationships - and to explore the ways these may have led to certain strengths and vulnerabilities. This kind of understanding can itself help people to feel very differently, and to start to make changes in their lives. Further and deeper changes become possible when we work on processing difficult events that may still be exerting an influence, and by developing techniques to deepen self-compassion.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioural therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviours. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
