About me

  • Are you going through a difficult situation and need some extra support to get through it?
  • Do you suffer from anxiety, depression and disordered eating?
  • Do you want to work through a particular issue(s) you haven't been coping too well with?
  • Are you having relationship problems, social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy?
  • Do you feel like no one understands you?

 If any of this speaks to you, it may be time to seek professional help

At Therapy for the Future, I strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment. My goal is to create a space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted. I specialise in helping people gain insight into the underlying causes of their problems, and to develop the skills and strategies needed to lead a happier and more fulfilling life.

I believe that everyone should have access to high-quality psychotherapy and I am dedicated to helping my clients make lasting changes in their lives. If you're ready to start your journey towards overcoming internal struggles and emotional healing, I'm here to help.

As an integrative Psychotherapist I can help you work through and get relief from: 

  • Depression &  Low Mood
  • Anxiety & Social Anxiety
  • Worry, Self-doubt
  • Intrusive & Negative Thoughts
  • Self-Criticism
  • Adverse Childhood experiences
  • Emotional & Disordered Eating
  • Low Self Esteem & Self Confidence
  • Loss & Bereavement
  • Relationship Problems & Separation.
     

I do this by integrating a range of different therapeutic approaches each tailored to meet your needs, such as CBT, Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Solution Focused Therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems). 

Some of the benefits my clients have gained from counselling have been:

  • Relief of Stress, Anxiety and Depression
  • Help with Addictions
  • Improved Work-Life Balance
  • Better Relationships
  • Better Ways of Dealing with Problems
  • Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem
  • Feeling Heard and Understood
  • Working through Trauma
  • Finding Personal Strength and Increased Resilience
  • Greater Self Insight and Increased Self-Acceptance

What happens in the first session?
In the first session, we talk about your needs and expectations of therapy, and how I can help you. It is also an opportunity to find out if you feel like I am the right therapist for you.

How many sessions would you need?
This depends on what you would like to achieve through counselling, and on what issue(s) you want to bring to therapy. Short term counselling is generally between 8 and 12 sessions, whereas long term counselling can last up to 20 sessions and often longer.

What happens next?
Get in touch through email to briefly state what you'd like support with, then we agree on a suitable time to schedule your first session. 

If you feel ready to take the first step please get in touch via email. I usually respond to all enquiries within 24 - 48 hrs.
