I offer a variety of therapeutic methods and modalities of delivering therapy such as Animal- Assisted Therapy (AAT) working with small pets, which has many therapeutic benefits that other modalities lack, Cognitive Based Therapy (CBT), Integrative therapy, online and telephone counselling and counselling that can take place in the comfort of your own home.
Anxiety, depression and other mental challenges can be debilitating. It's something that many of us live with each and every day and we need to find the best ways to deal with our emotions, what we are going through and how we react to certain situations. Being the best you is not easy, but you can do it. It is undoubtedly achievable no matter where you are in your life. Some may find difficulty showing up to their counselling sessions, some may think it's easier to talk online and some may find comfort with the presence of an animal in the room and even doing activities with the animal. Your needs are a priority.

Integrative counselling sessions enable clients to make sense of problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provide an opportunity to safely explore and reflect on and learn from past experiences. Some people want to come to counselling with a specific goal in mind, whereas others would like to feel better, happier and/or less anxious. I can also work with clients creatively to help them identify feelings and learn of ways to express themselves effectively. Whether you have a specific difficulty or a general sense of stuck-ness, I'd be very happy to work with you in a supportive, non-judgemental manner.

I have experience across a broad range of mental health issues and as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I offer an Integrative approach.
Stressed? Anxious? Generally feeling low? Talking can change your life. It is a bold statement but when you have the right person that is listening, it can be a real game changer. No issue or worry is ever unworthy of therapy and you should never feel alone or like you have no one to talk to. Each individual has problems that are relative to their own life and therefore my Therapy is not just a 'one size fits all' model. Using my professional experience, coupled with my passion and empathy, every person is treated as an individual from within a space that is safe, secure and totally free of all judgement and stigma.

In my integrative approach to counselling I combine my Humanistic and Psychodynamic skills.
I believe the way we think has a great deal to do with how we feel and how we experience things. If you find yourself facing life's challenges such as bereavement, depression, marriage breakdown, relationship problems, anxiety, then counselling can help. Counselling will allow you to implement changes in the way you do things, give you the clarity to see a way forward and help you become a more self-sufficient person. I provide a caring service that offers you the opportunity to start your journey of discovery, growth and achievement.

Having worked within the therapeutic field for over 20 years, first as a facilitator of spiritual practices and mindfulness, then as a counsellor of integrative therapies, including psychosynthesis and transpersonal approaches, enables me to tailor a holistic approach unique to your needs.
Choosing a therapist can be a daunting process, one I believe starts with our profile picture, only then do we go a little deeper to see if they have the experience to help with what ails us. Then it is about connection that first contact, can we trust this person to hold our trauma, to hold our memories, to journey alongside us as the process of healing begins? You may want to work on a repeating pattern or an unresolved issue, not knowing where to start. You might just want someone to listen, to not judge you or shame. What ever your need, I will listen.

As an Integrative Therapist I work uniquely with each person.
Choosing to have counselling is an important decision and deciding who to work with even more so. It is important you feel your therapist is the ‘right one’ for you - that you will feel safe and able to trust them and their work. I have worked with a wide variety of clients and helped people work though issues such as bereavement, anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, trauma and relationship problems. I understand what it is to feel swamped by life and the struggles it can entail and I have many hours of experience helping others navigate a safe path through their issues. I am committed to helping you make the changes you desire.

As an Integrative Counsellor I use different therapeutic approaches to make a personalised session based on your needs.
If you (or your child) are seeking support to overcome some challenges in your life, counselling is a great way to explore your difficulties in a safe and non-judgmental space. A key part of the counselling process is the therapeutic relationship and I believe that due to my age this allows me to support you in greater ways. I empathise and understand the anxieties and pressures put on you by school/exams/university, the impact that growing up with social media and having an online persona can have on your self-esteem, how delicate family/friend relationships can be and the difficulties they can put onto you.

Integrative Counsellors
What is integrative therapy?
Integrative therapy is a type of therapy that combines ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches depending on the needs of the individual client. By merging elements of different treatments, an integrative therapist aims to offer a more flexible approach than those who practice just one type of therapy.
How does integrative therapy work?
Integrative therapy approaches a client’s mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic way to discover the sources of their unhealthy behaviour patterns or other challenges and considers the approach most likely to lead to improvement. Among the techniques an integrative therapist may practice are cognitive-behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, art or music therapy, psychodynamic therapy, breathwork, family systems therapy, gestalt therapy, and trauma-informed therapy. An integrative therapist regularly evaluates the client’s progress and is prepared to pivot to a different approach if progress stalls.
How long does integrative therapy last?
As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for integrative therapy; people who find they are making progress typically continue until they feel they’ve addressed the issues that spurred them to seek treatment. New patients should understand that it may take some time for a therapist to land on a treatment approach that best meets their needs, but once they do, they should expect sessions to extend for a number of months, typically including at least 12 sessions.
How effective is integrative therapy?
There are hundreds of types of talk therapy, and research shows that while they vary in form, goals, and frequency, many if not all can produce similarly successful outcomes. But a single approach does not always deliver the greatest, or speediest, benefit, and so even therapists primarily trained in one model will use tools, language, techniques, or exercises from others to shape an effective treatment plan.
