About me

 
Specialist Help for Anxiety, Confidence, Trauma & More
I specialise in working with Anxiety in all its forms—from generalised anxiety and panic attacks to specific fears and phobias, low self-esteem, depression, and addictive behaviours. My approach is always client-led, trauma-informed, and focused on lasting change.  

Sometimes, before we can move forward, we need to gently acknowledge and work through what’s been holding us back. I provide a safe, supportive space where that process can begin—with compassion and without judgment.

Tailored Support—Your Way
In your first appointment, we’ll work together to decide on the right approach for you. My aim is to help you get back to feeling like your old self—or even better—as efficiently and effectively as possible.

You can choose 1:1 in-person sessions or work remotely via WhatsApp, Zoom, or FaceTime—whatever suits your schedule and comfort level. I work with clients across the UK and internationally. Location is no longer a barrier to accessing professional support.

📞 Call me on 07813 339295 – If I’m unavailable, just leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

 Getting Started
The first step is easy. Reach out in a way that works for you, and we’ll arrange a brief phone consultation. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, and if we’re a good fit, we’ll book your first session and start moving forward.

 A Proven, Personalised Approach to Therapy & Coaching
With over 24 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and proven techniques to every session. My integrative approach combines:

Hypnotherapy
Counselling
Health Coaching
BWRT (BrainWorking Recursive Therapy)
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
Trauma-Informed Coaching
Advanced Psychotherapy techniques
Every session is bespoke and tailored to you—designed to help you overcome obstacles and start feeling better now.

Real-Life Experience Meets Professional Expertise
Before becoming self-employed, I gained valuable experience working in drug and alcohol rehabilitation, including roles within the criminal justice system and therapeutic communities. I’ve also worked in the care sector and trained as an Orthopaedic Nurse, giving me unique insight into both emotional and physical health challenges.

Throughout my career, I’ve stayed committed to continuous professional development. Alongside my Counselling Diploma, I hold qualifications in:

NLP
BWRT
Advanced Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy
Trauma-Informed Coaching
Health Coaching
 
Health Coaching for the Over 50s
More recently, I’ve trained as a Health Coach, with a focus on supporting men and women aged 50+ who may be navigating:

- Persistent aches and pains
- Weight loss struggles
- Pre-diabetes or high blood pressure
- Low energy and motivation
- Even small, consistent changes can lead to significant improvements. I’ll help   you stay on track, offer accountability, and be your personal cheerleader and motivator along the way.

Coaching for Life Direction & Career Clarity
I also coach people who are simply feeling a little stuck. Often, these are bright, high-achieving individuals who lead good lives—but still feel a lack of clarity or direction, especially in their careers.

If you’ve ever felt like it’s hard to "see the wood for the trees," a few focused coaching sessions can help you reconnect with your purpose and get back on track.

 
You don’t have to do this alone. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, a health concern, or a crossroads in life—I'm here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I work across many areas, but I specialise in areas of Depression, Fears, Phobias, Anxiety, Low Mood, Domestic Violence & Coercive Control from the victims perspective. But I also work with Perpetrators of Domestic Violence and have considerable experience in this area.

But of course people don't fit into precise neat boxes; so why not just give me a call or email me if you'd rather. Then together we can arrange to have a brief chat and take it one step at a time.

Further information

I have recently completed a course that will be self directed, but delivered in your own time.  The course is called, "The Workplace Survival Kit", and it is aimed specifically aimed at younger men who are stugglling in the workplace environment.  Perhaps they have lost their confidence after a long time working from home, or maybe there are things wrong within the workplace that has become difficult to handle.

What ever the reason "The Workplace Survival Kit" might be just a good starting point for those who are unsure about therapy and might be their first time at getting some help. It is priced at an introductory offer until the end of April.
