I have worked in settings supporting children and their families for over 22 years.
I am a Havening Technique practitioner and qualified counsellor (www.havening.org), a quick and highly effective neuroscience technique. The Havening Techniques is a method, proven through science, which is designed to change the brain to de-traumatize the memory and remove its negative effects from both our psyche and body. I have a long history of working with children/families/parents and carers. I believe that our relationship is key and my focus is based around understanding your needs and that I am led by your pace fuelled with passion, caring and empathy.

I can offer various daytime and evening appointments throughout the week. My training helps me to provide you with a reliable, regular, non-judgmental space where you can begin to talk about whatever is on your mind. I work in what is called an integrative way, using a wide range of therapeutic models, but primarily focusing on humanistic counselling.

Therapy can provide a place of honesty for all the battles in our heads, from medical diagnoses, past trauma, sexual desire, issues of gender, to everyday compulsive/negative thinking. Understanding our experience in a rapidly changing environment, whilst surrounded by limitless information that offers such contradictory explanations can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Finding, and maintaining, personal meaning amongst so much uncertainty is a struggle. You needn't face it alone. Therapy reduces anxiety and deepens our understanding. Together we strive to create personal harmony between your internal needs and those external demands

As a Counselling Psychologist, registered with the HCPC, I recognise that there is not one approach to therapy that will suit everyone. Taking the first step to access therapy can be a nerve-wracking process. The most important indicator of therapeutic success is the relationship between client and therapist so do get in touch for a free phone consultation to see if I am the right therapist for you.
