About me

Individual psychotherapy and counselling for adults in Belper, Derbyshire.

At times, we can feel overwhelmed by the events and demands facing us. Life can feel daunting, and we can lose trust in ourselves to find a way forward. We may neglect ourselves and ignore areas of our lives that are painful. We may notice beliefs and habits we are stuck with that are holding us back from living life fully. 

Psychotherapy can be a place to unravel the patterns we are caught in and overcome our obstacles. Learning to pay attention to ourselves in a supportive space can help us to shift our perspective and find new directions. We can develop a more compassionate relationship with ourselves that will help generate new energy to find creative solutions.

I am an Integrative psychotherapist offering outdoor, nature-based eco-psychotherapy and online therapy. My approach helps you explore the underlying dynamics that are influencing you, reconnect who you really are, and find new ways to live you rlife more deeply.

I encourage you to take the step of contacting me to help you consider your options for therapy. Taking this first step can feel daunting and speaking to a therapist can help you feel less alone in facing your situation. Together we can help you get moving towards giving yourself the support that you need. 

You can contact me to arrange a free 15-minute telephone call to meet me and consider what may help you.
