Counselling in TR18
I am a neurodivergent person-centred therapist who has worked predominantly with clients over the age of 18 who have experienced or are experiencing some kind of domestic abuse, both partner-based or family-based. As people of all ages and genders can encounter this I have worked with a broad range of adult clients with other presenting issues as well. My other area of focus is working with neurodivergent clients, primarily ASD and ADHD. I also offer a body-positive, health-at-every-size approach. LGBTQ+ safe.

With 30 years of experience, I respectfully help you to access a life that makes sense to you and is governed by you. Sessions are as dynamic or quiet as you wish them to be. No judgment, no pressure. You are free to think, feel and share as much or as little as you need. Book a single appointment and decide for yourself if this is the right way forward.

I specialise working with couples, families, parents, children and young people. Relationships can sometimes be difficult, and counselling can help to unpick what is happening to those involved. Maybe your child is struggling and failing to live life to the full, maybe anxiety is holding them back or they are lashing out at those around them. Adult relationships can also experience difficulties such as conflict or miscommunication. Having a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to help explore and make sense of what is going on can help individuals and couples find resolve and move forward in their lives.

I offer outdoor and online counselling in environments that will enable and support your understanding of your own story and needs. Encouraging empowerment to move past limitations by discovering your own voice. You, or a loved one, maybe experiencing difficult thoughts or feelings. You may be going through challenging stages or experiencing loss and grief, emotional distress, anxiety or depression. Every person is unique and complex. I offer a warm environment where there is no judgement, to help you to unfold and nurture connections, behaviours, thoughts and feelings towards yourself and others.

I specialise in working with clients with PTSD and trauma based symptoms. I also work with OCD and other mental health problem, through the use of CBT & EMDR. CBT works by the theory that we can manage and modulate our emotions through evaluating/changing our cognitions & behaviours accordingly. EMDR utilises bilateral stimulation (eye movements) to aid the reprocessing of symptoms of Trauma and PTSD, focusing on trauma memories whilst integrating and updating these with Adaptive Information Processing, aiding resolution of symptoms in the present
