I am a qualified and experienced person-centred counsellor, offering online, telephone, and face-to-face therapy in the North Shields area. I work at your pace, specialising in depression, trauma, anxiety, addiction, relationship and emotional difficulties. Past trauma or life events may feel difficult to cope with and leave you feeling anxious, depressed or stuck in unhelpful patterns of behaviour causing you conflict and anxiety. If you are considering counselling for the first time or have experienced therapy in the past or have struggled to find a solution that feels right for you, taking that first step is a sign of strength

I work with people experiencing compulsive sexual behaviour, or what is commonly called sex or porn addiction. This may look like is having guilt or shame feelings about viewing porn or other sexual activity. Or it may be that you are finding it difficult to stop, despite the desire to, or that it is causing you some difficulties in your life. I come from the place of being sex positive, which means I help you to reduce any shame you may be feeling and help you to find a better relationship with your sexual activity. I also work with those people who feel shame about themselves. Whether that be about sex or other aspects of lives

I am passionate about supporting and empowering people to overcome life’s obstacles. My experience has allowed me the privilege of working closely with those facing unexpected and serious life events, either for themselves or those close to them. Often this has been as a result of physical health issues, neurological conditions, life stage transitions, loss or traumatic events; resulting in understandable distress and overwhelm for the person. I provide the opportunity to truly hear your story, understand how your experiences have influenced your life, discovering options for your next steps and a guide to your goals for therapy.

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.

Struggling to cope with negative emotions can feel very isolating and, by the nature of some problems, guilt and shame can make us feel stigmatised and prevent us reaching out for support even when its not our fault. People come to counselling for all kinds of reasons from childhood trauma to life events as adults such as divorce, bereavement and stress and what they all have in common is a desire to feel better and begin to enjoy life. Some people find they use alcohol or drugs in an attempt to cope with their feelings but inventively this creates more problems.
