I aim to offer a non judgemental relationship where you can explore issues and problems that might be holding you back or causing you distress. This can cover a range of things such as; relationship breakdown, burn out, addiction, stress, anxiety, faith, abuse, trauma or bereavement. I will support you in weekly sessions working together on a focus you have chosen. If you feel stuck or like you keep on making the same mistakes in life I can help you to discover why this is happening and help you find freedom from things that might be hindering your own growth.

I am an Integrative Counsellor working with clients from age 7 to beyond retirement age with issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, loss, bereavement, low self-esteem, family issues, relationship or work-related issues. My clients are from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and are of different genders and sexual orientations. Our life experiences help shape who we are today. We cannot change the past but with help, we can question our thought processes and let go of disruptive patterns of behaviour. Improving our overall emotional and physical wellbeing starts with talking about our issues.

Are you finding it difficult to cope? Perhaps life's pressures have left you feeling depressed or feeling increasingly stressed and anxious? All too often modern living can leave us with very little space to reflect about our own needs. Our relationships and health can suffer as a result. Psychotherapy can be helpful when emotional suffering becomes too much and at times of crisis when life can feel difficult or unmanageable. I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, particularly skilled in working with depression, anxiety and difficulties in couple relationships.

I have particular interest in anxiety, stress.
Hi, a warm welcome and thanks for landing on my page. Perhaps you are feeling low, stressed, anxious, nursing a broken heart or simply feeling lost and needing some sense of direction and meaning in life. These stressful moments in life are painful awakenings that require sensitive emotional holding and support, something your close family or friends may not necessarily have the time and insight to support you through. These moments although painful, also represent precious windows for inward exploration and gaining self-insight, as they say perspectives always come at a cost.

As a mother of four and a family support worker for many years before qualifying as a counsellor, I have first-hand experience of the challenges of family life and how difficult it can be to navigate. The days can start to feel overwhelming and unmanageable, inducing massive stress and anxiety. Or perhaps the early years were okay, but now the family is mature and you are feeling sad or stuck, with no sense of how to move forward. Therapy gives you the chance to focus on who you are, as well as your relationships with others and the world around you.

I specialise in the following areas anxiety/generalised anxiety disorder, depression, stress, bereavement, trauma, low self esteem, abuse, bipolar, obsessive compulsive disorder and relationship problems.
Reaching out for help can be hard but it is an important step in the right direction towards living your life fully. Sometimes trying to navigate through life alone can be confusing and speaking to friends or family can often be too difficult, this is why talking to a neutral professional counsellor can provide you with the support you need. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can explore the areas of your life that you are struggling with. By exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours of the past and present I can help you gain better self-awareness and overcome the obstacles weighing you down.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to do something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? I've always been fascinated by the power of the brain - how it can work for us and against us. With over 7 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand how our mindset can either lift us up or hold us back.

This can include exploring issues such as anxiety, low mood, anger, grief and loss, stress, trauma, parenting, sexuality, relationships, life transitions, identity, existential questions, identity, communication, personal agency, and blocks to creativity.
Starting this process can feel daunting, and the first step is for us to meet each other. I warmly welcome clients of all ages (18+), cultural and class backgrounds, and diverse sexuality, relationship and affectional orientations, to email me for a free initial phone consultation to discuss what you need and how I might support you. Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to develop relational self-awareness and explore your experience, as well as a tool to engage with difficulty and distress in your life. By helping you to understand and illuminate your feelings and experiences, we begin a process of discovery and awareness.

Navigating life's challenges can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, guilty, unable to sleep because we're worried or fearful of what might happen. We often struggle to talk about difficult things because of shame or feeling judged, and we probably think that we should be able to deal with it, whatever it is, and that we don't want to burden people we know with our troubles. Whether it's a relationship, your partner, children, your past, your career or finances, a death or loss, having a safe and neutral space to talk things through, to help to start to make sense of things or to accept a new normal, can be transformative.

I know that life has become really challenging and difficult to cope with. The stress and pressure we face has affected our health, work, relationships and mental well-being. Despite all our best efforts to manage, nothing seems to work. It’s during these times that having someone qualified and experienced to talk with and support us becomes a much-needed relief – especially as some of the difficulties we are going through are deep rooted and stem from painful childhood experiences like changing schools 6 different times, abuse, a bike accident and not having many friends. This is something I can personally identify with.

Anxiety, depression, guilt, low self-esteem, shame, and stress are all part and parcel of these personal difficulties.
Believing in the uniqueness of each person and their circumstances at any one moment in time, I am committed to a pluralistic approach which acknowledges and values the notion that what might work in one session, might not be successful in another, and that what might be appropriate for one client, might feel uncomfortable for someone else. Our relationship will, therefore, be based on the premise that your therapy will be the outcome of the collaboration between you and I, and will reflect your shifting needs within sessions, and from one session to another, as together we travel beyond the boundary of your previous thoughts.
