All manner of emotions leave an impression deep inside. Somehow we seemingly put it all into a manageable place and move on. But then something triggers us whereby we feel unable to manage our emotions. I have experienced such feelings and sought professional help in the past. I process my work and self with my Clinical Advisor on a regular basis. It has been 20 plus years since I qualified as a Person Centred counsellor and then as a nurse. Having been involved with nursing and Hospice bereavement support in the past I believe in the power of listening with empathy to each persons story and together for better resolution.

You might be seeking therapy for a number of different reasons. Perhaps you’re finding the world a very uncertain place right now and are feeling overwhelmed. You might want to talk to someone who won’t judge you. Or you might find yourself in a crisis which is difficult to move on from. Perhaps you are looking for a space to have time to reflect on where you have got to in life and provide fresh impetus for personal growth. If you find yourself distressed, confused, seeking a change in direction or simply wanting someone to talk to, I can help. My own experience of therapy has shown me that struggles can be a catalyst for change.

Everyone is different and counselling is not a 'one size fits all' approach. Managing life's difficulties thrown upon us can be challenging in many ways, but I will be alongside you every step of the way. Through our relationship I will help you unravel your thoughts and feelings but I ask for self-compassion; it may be bumpy.

Asking for help can feel daunting, but I can offer you a confidential space in which to share your unique life story and to explore difficult thoughts and feelings as well as your hopes, fears and aspirations. We can all struggle to cope with issues such as anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship or family difficulties, bereavement and loss; or with things in our past which have not been dealt with, that are now interfering with daily life. You may feel isolated and that you have no one to talk to or you may have the most supportive friends and family but still find it difficult to explain.

Facing a crossroads? Feeling stuck or uncertain? I wonder if a particular change, loss or relationship has left you disconnected from others? If you are experiencing prolonged anxiety, low mood or find yourself enduring a mixture of unsettling thoughts, sharing your story in a safe space may help you find a way forward. I endeavour to provide a warm and supportive listening relationship to enable you to explore aspects of your life causing worry, sadness or stress. Let yourself have an opportunity to talk things through, with the freedom to choose when you want to meet and how often.

I utilise a blend of positive psychotherapeutic enquiry and solution focussed approaches, to identify and reframe the cause of limiting beliefs and behaviours. I tailor my approach and work with individuals and couples. Whether you need to overcome a traumatic experience, difficulties in relationships, self esteem, anxiety or coaching to provide skills to transition through life, manage a situation or perform at your best. Building an independent, safe and trusting environment for you to explore issues and challenges in life: both work and/or personal is important for me.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Psychosynthesis and secondary trainings in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Certified Practitioner), Internal Family Systems Psychotherapy (Levels 1-2) and EMDR (Levels 1-3). Drawing on the body, long history with Buddhist psychology and meditation practice, and over 12 years experience working with complex trauma in therapeutic communities in the NHS and the prison system, I work to help people reframe mental health difficulties as psychospiritual opportunities to deepen our relationships and maximise our potential.

Looking for a counsellor for the first time can be daunting. However, suffering ongoing emotional pain is miserable. We are all entitled to lead a fulfilling life. Maybe you have a specific issue, or maybe you or aren't sure what is wrong , but you feel low or anxious. I have 20 years' experience of working in the mental health field, and set up my practice as a counsellor in 2014. I work with adults of all ages and young adults (16-18). Talking to a professional who is not involved, that you can trust, who is not going to judge can help you to make sense of what is happening for you.

Feeling Stuck? Not sure what to do next or what that may look like? Counselling can help by exploring the current presenting issue and reasons for its presence in the moment, with some past focus and exploration of the impact of the issue for you coming to therapy. I work with what you need in the room as I believe you are the expert of what is going on and using this to inform the way we tailor support to overcome what has brought you to therapy. I use an array of techniques to suit your needs working with anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship issues and long term illness.

You may be feeling life is difficult and challenging at the moment, struggling with anxiety or depression, or loneliness. You may have a general feeling of dissatisfaction making life difficult to manage. You may be struggling with a bereavement. You may find that you are feeling angry for much of the time. You may be looking for a way to alleviate your suffering and solve your problems in order to live a more satisfying life where you are more at ease with yourself and with other people. You might find it helpful to explore these thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment. I hope to provide such a place.
