I focus on the individual and their immediate needs. I will take time to find out about you and what has brought you to Counselling. I aim to provide a safe and comfortable space for you to talk about whatever it is that is troubling you. I will follow your pace whilst listening, offering support and providing insights and challenges to your way of thinking. I trained to be a Counsellor because I have experienced the benefits of it myself, and it inspired me to help others.

You as a human being, you have a choice. And you can choose. You can choose to gain victory over yourself—or you can choose to try to pursue, for the rest of your life, trying to gain victory over your problems. In one, you will never win—in one you’ve got a fair shot. Prem Rawat

Positive mental health is one of the most valuable things we can strive to have, and is a hugely important part of wellbeing at every stage of life. But life is complex, and at some point, most of us experience issues that require deeper attention and support. Therapy can help you discover the root of an issue; address problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours; and help you embark on a more positive pathway forward. As a qualified psychotherapist, my role is to help you understand your experiences, and equip you with the confidence and autonomy to make changes that will help you regain control of your life.

I work with children and young people up to aged 18. My clients typically have had an event in their life that they have experienced as traumatic. This then leads to difficulties with their behaviour or in certain situations, that they need help recovering from. Although sessions are confidential to the child, I work closely with the family to ensure that the child is well supported whilst they work their way through any difficult memories, thoughts and feelings.

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about food and constantly trying to lose weight? You’re “good” for a few weeks, only to self-sabotage and beat yourself up after another binge. Perhaps food has always been the go to – whether you’re happy, stressed, or frustrated. Or perhaps exercise is the problem. You need to do it, but it makes you miserable. You may struggle with body image, or even hate yourself for letting your body get to this state. If these resonate, you’re not alone. It’s easy to get stuck in these negative cycles, without knowing how to get out. The good news is, it’s possible to change.

We all know life can get tough at times and we can struggle to see our way through it. Sometimes it helps to talk those experiences or feelings through with someone who can really listen and brings no agenda with them. There are so many reasons to come to therapy difficult times in life, things feeling not quite right, anxiety or depression or things from our past effecting us in the here and now (attachment or trauma). Therapy is a safe, neutral place you can use to explore what is happening for you, and it can support you in deciding how you want to manage it.

I am an integrative counsellor and have worked with clients who have had various issues. I work with clients with depression, anxiety, stress and family problems. This is just a small example of the issues that I have worked with. When working with clients we will work together to understand what the client wants from the therapy. By using the different therapy types I am able to tailor the therapeutic sessions to best suit each individual client. This means that the sessions can be for example structured and goal orientated which would be CBT. Or perhaps Person-centred where the client leads the sessions in their own time.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
