I am an Accredited MBACP Registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor & Counselling Supervisor with over 10 years of experience in working with individuals, and groups of all ages, sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds. I am based in Colchester CO1. Dependent on your presenting issues/needs I will draw on cognitive, psychodynamic, attachment, and relational theories and concepts, to provide either short-term-focused counselling/therapy or longer-term in-depth psychotherapy.
I offer a confidential, safe and reliable place for you to make sense of your current difficulties, and through the establishment of a trusting therapeutic relationship will help you to explore any past formative experiences and future concerns, which may be impacting on your present-day choices/decisions, and ways you may form and maintain relationships.
If you're ready to embark on a transformative journey towards self-discovery and personal growth, I invite you to take the first step. Together, we can explore your challenges, uncover underlying patterns, and develop strategies to overcome obstacles. Through collaboration we can work towards creating meaningful changes for a more fulfilling life.

Groups
DBT and Process Groups
I am offering a 12-week program of weekly Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Process Groups, with sessions lasting 2 hours each. The cost is £20 per session, totaling £240, payable in advance. These groups create a supportive environment for developing skills in emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. The process groups will also explore emotional responses to various life experiences, creating self-awareness and resilience through shared insights. There is an option to continue participation beyond the initial 12 weeks.
