If you're looking for therapy, it's likely that you're experiencing hurt and confusion around what's happening in your life. My first role as a therapist is to create a safe space through deep empathic listening, helping you to gain more and more clarity about what's going on for you. This clarity will then help you to define your goals and begin working towards achieving them, by becoming aware of your emotions, learning to work with them to figure out what you most deeply need, and then take actions to meet your needs.

Are you tired of wearing a mask and not feeling like yourself around others? You don't have to be alone in this. I will sit alongside you and explore all that heaviness you are carrying together so you can finally put it down. Sometimes, we may not feel like we have control over our lives because of this, and the way we cope (substance or alcohol use, gaming, doom scrolling on social media, etc.) can get in the way of having connections and being who we really are in them. Counselling with me can support you in exploring these patterns, too, so you can live a more fulfilling, connecting life by being yourself.

We all need to feel that we are being seen, that our voice is being heard, in safe and empathetic company. If you are in distress, confused or isolated, I will see and hear you as a whole person, not just as an issue or concern. I will support you by holding a space for you to breathe and reflect on worries, anxieties or uncertainties that may be holding you back and explore ways forward to fulfil your potential. Healing can be found in creativity, used as another form of expression when words run out.

I am experienced in working with a broad range of psychological issues and I specialise in anger, depression, anxiety, trauma and many other mental health issues. As people we learn through the experiences we have in the world. Our perceptions of ourselves then shape our relationships with other people, the world, but most importantly, how we think and feel about ourselves. We can develop defences and avoidant behaviours due to these experiences and our perceptions. Sometimes we may avoid our emotions as they seem too difficult, or overwhelming, or we feel out of control. Therapy is where these themes and emotions are explored.

I find the Person-Centred Approach fits my own philosophy as it has at its very core, an unshakable belief that all people are good. Person-Centred counselling believes that each and every person can, and will, become a more fully functioning person if given the correct conditions. The underpinning principles of the Person- Centred Approach are focused on the counsellor being honest, non-judgmental and fully accepting whilst being fully integrated in the relationship allowing the client to lead and set the pace. I aim to offer these conditions as best as I can during our relationship.

As an accredited therapist I specialise in fertility & relationship issues for both couples and individuals. You may be feeling something isn't exactly right in your relationship or have a more difficult issue. You could be going through fertility treatment or have just had a fertility diagnosis. Many people think that relationship counselling should be attended when issues hit breaking point and that is simply not the case. I see people at all stages of their relationship and some of the issues I deal with can range from Affairs/betrayals, Family issues, relationship breakdowns & fertility/infertility issues.

There are lots of reasons why you might decide to come to counselling. You might be struggling in your relationship with yourself and others, or identifying that you are stuck in different patterns that aren’t working for you. You might be looking for support to explore something difficult that has happened, or be realising that old coping strategies aren’t working for you anymore. I’m an integrative counsellor, which means that I use different approaches to respond to what it is that you need. I will support you to reconnect to parts of yourself that might feel, so that you can be more authentic in your life and relationships.
