Racial Identity Counselling in Portsmouth
Are you looking to explore your motivations, anxiety, relationships? Are you experiencing depression, or feeling overwhelmed by the challenges life presents? I believe that through openness and talking therapy, we can search for meaning, leading to greater self-awareness, growth, and change. I offer a non-judgmental and supportive therapeutic space where we can explore together. As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor my approach focuses on exploring the roots of your emotions, thoughts and behaviours. By bringing unconscious dynamics to the surface, we can understand how past experiences shape your life.

The approach I first trained in and like to use the most is an integrative model called the Relational approach. This approach incorporates both humanistic and psychodynamic elememts which means it retains the warmth of the humanistic models which focus on empathy and building trust, and the Freudian concepts of the unconcious mind and transference. I work best with clients who are willing to explore how they relate to people, by examining what is going on in our relationship during therapy. I really enjoy working with clients who have issues around relationships and attachment, and find this work both interesting and rewarding.

Discover Your True Self and Thrive with Specialized Counselling Are you an adult who suspects you may have ADHD or Autism, or perhaps you've recently received an official diagnosis? Many individuals uncover these facets of their identity later in life, often prompted by a lifelong sense of being different from others. Whether you're on a journey of self-discovery or already armed with a diagnosis, it's natural to experience a wide range of emotions – from anxiety, overwhelm, and depression to confusion about your path forward. How has this revelation impacted your relationships with others?

Do you find yourself struggling to trust others and are holding back from meaningful connections? These concerns may be the result of unresolved trauma. What is Trauma? Trauma occurs precisely when an event is overwhelming to a point where a person is unable to rationalize, defend, process or accept what is happening to them or someone close to them. Trauma fragments the brain’s ability to make sense and therefore move on from the onslaught. The event when it occurs overwhelms and drives us to our basic survival responses. When the traumatic incident occurred did you find yourself unable to move? Let' talk!

Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem/confidence, trauma, ADHD, family issues, bereavement, stress, PTSD, addiction, abuse, domestic and sexual abuse are only some of the issues that I can help you with. Struggling with any of these issues can be exhausting and draining and at times so overwhelming that we feel dehumanised. To top it all the feeling of guilt that we are not able to cope and the expectations of others can add so much weight to our already heavy load. Why me? What have I done to deserve this? When will it all stop? What can I do to help myself? Where do I go for help?

Over the past two decades, I have supported people in various roles with acceptance, addiction, alcoholism, LGBTQ, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-worth and cultural identity issues.
