I work with men and women.
Hello and Welcome! I offer a warm and empathetic space where you can be heard and seen. We work together with whatever maybe troubling you, and go at your pace. Together we can discuss what you would like to gain from having counselling, you can voice your thoughts, worries and any problems. It could be overwhelming thoughts, a racing mind, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, abuse, trauma, or PTSD. We try and gain awareness of what is going on for you, look at ways to support you, and hopefully empower you on your way.

If you feel stuck, there is hope! Finding a good therapist can be a daunting task! The search can be exhausting, especially when you are trying to find someone who will get you. Letting yourself be vulnerable with a stranger is scary and I commend you for taking the first step. As your therapist, I will be by your side on your journey.

Are you concerned your partner/friend/family member is a narcissist? Perhaps you know they are but feel stuck. Maybe your previous relationship was toxic, leaving you afraid to date again. As well as working with anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship problems and much more. I have many years experience in helping clients free themselves from the total devastation that narcissistic abuse brings. I know from first hand experience how it feels to be love bombed, devalued, gaslit, manipulated and then ultimately discarded. To be left feeling as though your soul has been sucked out and questioning who you even are!

I have worked as a counsellor and psycho sexual therapist for 30 years and I still find it as fascinating and rewarding now as when I started. I am COSRT and Relate accredited. I work with individuals, couples, families. I aim to support my clients to clarify the issues that are hindering their development and relationships in an effective way, while developing a greater understanding of the causes of their current problems and issues. In some cases the counselling can be quite specific and goal orientated; yet with others it can be more exploratory and pastoral. Most often it can include both, depending on the need.

Sometimes life can feel difficult and we may feel confused, lost or alone, even if we are surrounded by others. At times, we may struggle to cope, feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed. Being offered support to explore our difficulties and worries in a safe, confidential and empathic environment, free from judgement can help us feel less isolated and find our way again to a more hopeful and fulfilling way of being. I believe that the roots of our personal strengths often stem from difficulties we have experienced and that together, we can find what might be most helpful to you.

I have over 30 years experience working in mental health and so know that there are often many reasons that bring people to counselling. Perhaps you would like to talk to someone about making changes in your life, or maybe you are feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed, and would like a little extra support to help you through a difficult time. Perhaps you are feeling lonely or disconnected from the people around you. Or maybe you can't quite put your finger on what is wrong, and would like somewhere to express yourself and make sense of your thoughts and feelings?

Life can be challenging and overwhelming at times, making us feel lonely, sad, anxious and stressed. Our thoughts can become unclear, tangled up and sometimes we just cannot stop overthinking. We can even isolate ourselves and feel like there is no way out. Counselling can be a safe and non-judgmental form of relating that might bring a positive change, more clarity and a deeper understanding of our feelings, thoughts and the ways we behave.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
