I understand how scary it can be to ask for help and how difficult it is to decide where to get support from. Asking for help is a brave decision and can lead to incredible outcomes. I will walk with you while you navigate the difficulties in your life, no matter how big or seemingly small. You decide what you bring to talk about and you set the pace. I offer a warm, empathic approach and put the relationship with my clients at the forefront of my work. I believe we all need a helping hand at times.

Not being understood is one of the most painful feelings. Struggling to relate to others, or live in this complicated world is so difficult for so many of us. Making sense of ourselves and finding solutions to longstanding issues – from depression, anxiety, social phobias, low self-esteem, anger management, bereavement, life-stage issues, loss, marital difficulties, relationship struggles, self-harming and suicide and unresolved childhood development challenges? You need not struggle alone; we can explore and discover what choices you have to make changes to your life's personal challenges.

My approach in sessions is centred on you, focusing on the here and now, current situations and difficulties you are experiencing. How you are feeling and behaving at present is often linked to past experiences which remain unresolved and continue to impact on your health and well-being today. Our sessions are based on respect, compassion, empathy and honesty. I will support you in exploring your reasons for wanting therapy, within a non-judgmental environment. By creating a safe, open and genuine relationship with you, we can together find ways to deal with the difficulties you are experiencing. The age range I work with is 18+.

When we are tired of feeling sick and tired, that feeling, is an invitation, a need surfacing. Perhaps you are always giving your time and energy to others and have not much left in the tank for yourself. Perhaps you have been coping with pressures in ways that made sense before, but are now not helpful. Perhaps you want more in recovery? Therapy offers space for you, to explore difficulties, to come to terms with life's painful events, to overcome shame and heal wounds. I provide an affirming, restorative space for healing, reflection, conscious choices, expressing your values and fostering a life more hopeful, more meaningful.

Changes often take time and effort. As you read this, you may be confused, feeling stuck or have difficulty finding direction to go as you are going through a major transition in your life. Being 'between' different life stages, countries and cultures, jobs and education, different family roles can be a struggle and it takes a lot of energy to carry on moving forward. You may be needing somewhere safe to stop, have your breath back and examine what is happening around and inside of you so that you can recalibrate yourself and start moving on.

Do you feel anxious...overwhelmed… exhausted… stuck… wanting to run… scared… angry… or numb? Do you feel in need of a space, free of judgement, warm and compassionate, where you can make sense of your emotions and regain control of your life? I would like to provide this space to you. Alongside practicing as a counsellor I have worked now for over 3 years in a Lifestyle Coaching Project funded by the NHS, supporting clients who struggled to improve their physical and mental health. People often find themselves in a vicious cycle, trying to follow the advice given to them. When it doesn't work they feel like a failure.

Admitting you might need the help of a counsellor can be incredibly hard and taking that first step requires lots of courage - I am pleased you are here. I work with adults and young people (18 and over) on issues relating to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, racial identity. I spent over 20 years in the video games industry at a senior level so I understand the pressures of working in a high pressure environment with long working hours and potentially toxic working practices.
