About me

I believe that with a little support, most of us can sort out the challenges of our lives. My therapy focus is to help you find the solutions that work for you.

I have managed a well-being service in a large organisation covering counselling, mediation, team building and stress management for the past few years and enjoy seeing people grow healthily - even within stressful environments, when they have the tools to do so.  I believe this is possible for anyone.

Depending on the issue I can offer short (6 - 12 sessions) or long-term therapy support to individuals, couples or groups.

Most people feel anxious, stressed or low at some point in their lives but often try to struggle through on their own. I understand how daunting it can be to seek professional advice but I have successfully helped many people with a wide variety of problems.

My integrative approach to therapy ensures that I am able to offer a bespoke treatment plan based on an individual’s requirements, rather than offer a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I will be open with you about this in the assessment and clearly explain what I can offer you, so you feel comfortable in knowing what to expect.

I draw from a range of psychotherapeutic perspectives including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Transactional Analysis (TA), Psychodynamic and Humanistic therapies, depending on the needs and wishes of clients.  Working through your worries and identifying challenging thoughts, emotions and behaviours will help you to make a better sense of your current and past difficulties as these are often related.

You do not need be crystal clear about your own reasons or goals for coming into therapy. My aim, both initially and throughout therapy, is to help you understand this more fully; those areas of your life that may feel difficult, painful, unfulfilled or stuck. This understanding can be useful by itself, but it can also help you to make decisions about those things you may wish to change, and come to terms with those things that you can't.

I provide an open, sensitive and confidential space where you will be met with respect and acceptance.

My main aim is to help you to achieve a deeper understanding of yourself and as a result to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
