I aim to offer a service which is as unique as you are! We all experience life in different ways and I do not believe that there is a one fits all solution that works for everyone. My belief is that we are the only experts on ourselves and that we do have all the resources we need to be happy and fulfilled in our lives, for some of us we just don’t know it yet or maybe we have just lost the confidence to believe in ourselves. I welcome you to explore and challenge your beliefs and values to help you find the best way in life for you, the one that fits and allows you to work towards that wonderful goal of being you again

If you are looking for counselling in a compassionate and non-judgemental way, then I might be a good fit for you. As an integrative therapist, I use a range of counselling styles. I am also an advanced BWRT practitioner which is my preferred way to work because, simply, it is the most effective. I have seen many clients to who have had years of therapy, and say that BWRT has finally worked for them. Interested? Get in touch.

Making the first move to see a counsellor can feel like a big step, especially if this is the first time you've done it. Perhaps you feel like you’re worrying more than usual at the moment? Or maybe there is a specific issue on your mind that you can't seem to get past. Perhaps you've had enough of feeling anxious, or you're feeling low and 'stuck'. When we have the opportunity to share how we feel in a safe, confidential environment it can help us to develop a toolkit of coping strategies to deal with times when things get tough.

Opening up to someone new can understandably make you feel anxious. You may wonder, "Will I be judged?" "Will I be told I'm a hopeless case?" A lot of the time we can be own worst enemy. We tell ourselves that we are not good enough, not capable, or not loveable. We get frustrated, angry, depressed, anxious, and stuck in a world which sometimes feels fake and hollow somehow. We allow others to bully us, walk all over us, hurt us and destroy our dreams. However, all is not lost. Often all we need is just a small change in our perception, and to be seen and heard. This can make a huge difference.

Therapy offers a private and sacred space to think, feel and experience your true self. It explores your needs and we process those thoughts and feelings as they arise, and from this comes a new clarity of awareness. I sometimes think of it as coming out of the dark woods and into the light. Being truly listened to helps you hear yourself and reveals all that matters to you, which activates the development of inner strength, confidence, resilience, resolve, and purpose, as it gradually releases you from the felt wounds you have been carrying, such as anger, confusion, sadness, grief, regret or loss.

In my experience we may all at times face hurdles too daunting to negotiate alone. I work with a wide range of issues focussing on clients who have suffered sexual abuse, as well as young people and adults experiencing stress, anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, depression and low self esteem. We may have issues and patterns of behaviour from the past that we are ready to leave behind. I offer a safe, confidential therapeutic space to be heard and feel safe. In some cases I work in the here and now, in others I believe in order to understand and find our inner resources to change present behaviour we need to delve into our past.

It can be challenging to share our concerns and fears with others. We often worry that our struggles might be too heavy for our friends and family. I provide a private and secure environment where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings. There is no timeline for grief, and no loss or challenge is too great to discuss in therapy. You are not required to rush through your healing; this is your personal space to release the weight of life's burdens and reflect on your current and past experiences at your own speed. I offer a nurturing platform and my expertise to support your journey of personal growth and acceptance.

Clients come to me when they are experiencing distress in their relationships, with their sex lives or within themselves. Whether they are seeking help in processing a string of messy break-ups, exploring alternative relationship such as polyamory or intimacy styles such as kink and BDSM, dealing with cheating, shame, guilt or regret, or suffering from low self-esteem and feeling stuck. I listen, reflect, and support my clients with identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. Nothing is taboo or too shocking to bring to me. Also experienced in delivering workshops and seminars to groups, media and educational settings.

You may be wondering if anyone can understand you. Right now you feel unheard, alone and misunderstood. There are times when you feel low or anxious, overwhelmed by the demands on you. You just want the people in your life to get it. Perhaps your relationships are unsatisfying, stuck in unhelpful patterns that you don’t know how to change. You want to be clear about your goals and how you can achieve them resulting in more satisfaction for you. Perhaps you need more effective communication with those close to you. You want to live the life you desire with a sense of purpose. Perhaps the time has come to take positive action.

Clients access therapy for a multitude of reasons; there may be issues in the here and now, fears for the future or you may have experienced things in your past that affect you now. In therapy we can explore the roots of issues, process what may remain unprocessed currently, build self-esteem and help meet your wants, needs and wishes. Many people access therapy because they want to feel different, to change the emotions they are experiencing, or for others it may be learning to access feelings that have perhaps been locked away through trauma. Whatever you need, reach out and we can see how best I can meet your needs.
