Perhaps you're dealing with anxiety or trauma, you may be struggling with relationships or your career, finding unhelpful behaviours or thoughts are getting in the way or simply want someone to hear you. These are areas where I can provide particular support. I specialise in helping clients discover and embrace their authentic selves. I am passionate about helping adults navigate life's complexities. I think of myself as a facilitator on your journey, therapy is a collaborative exploration – we work together to understand yourself better and build the tools you need to thrive.

I am an accredited BACP therapist and I have delivered almost 3,000 counselling sessions both face to face and remotely, mostly in my capacity as NHS counsellor. I work in English and Italian with individuals aged 18 and over. Because of my professional background (I was a teacher before training as a therapist), personal experience and training, I specialise in depression, counselling for education professionals, and mindfulness-based therapy. I offer a safe and comforting therapeutic environment where emotional discomfort can be heard, held and healed. I also offer telephone and outdoor therapy.

Are you a couple who needs help navigating your relationship? Not all relationships need to be at the end, or struggling against the tide before accessing therapy. You may however have found yourself having to deal with issues such as infidelity, lack of trust or inability to communicate, and require professional help to find a resolution.

I have been a Counsellor / Psychotherapist / Hypnotherapist for over 25years I specialised in the field addiction for many years. Working within addiction offered a wide and varied opportunity to work and become familiar with many client issues. Clients relying upon substances, use as a coping mechanism, however substance use causes further mental health issues which further complicates their ability to cope. I now work solely within private practice based at home where clients can relax in a confidential informal setting. This allows them time explore their own needs in a time frame which meets their own specific needs.

I work with adults who want to heal and make sense of themselves and their world after going through difficulties, recent or historic. The clients I see come to therapy to deal with stress or sadness associated with issues like bereavement, illness, relational difficulty, family breakdown, professional challenges, persistent anxiety or unhappiness, or just a nagging feeling that something isn't right. Enlisting the support of a skilled and compassionate confidant can help you, at your pace and in your own way, face and make sense of whatever your life or psyche is bringing you and build the insight and resilience to work with it.

Asking for help is not always easy, especially when you’re struggling with something that’s very close to you. I understand how daunting that first step of reaching out and contacting a therapist can be, which is why I always strive to provide a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space for therapy sessions. I am committed to working alongside you and through mutual discussions providing you with the strategies and tools that are the best fit for you. I have a special interest in transgenerational influences which can present as childhood trauma, attachment difficulties, anxiety and personality disorders.

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.
