I understand that your experiences in life are unique to you as an individual, the challenges, pain, as well as your gifts you possess. I believe in the importance of us working together to focus on how you are feeling on the inside. Giving you the space to release and discover.

Are you struggling in areas in your life at present that are causing you difficult and painful emotions? You may no longer feel fulfilment or enjoyment in your life based on life changes or simply very overwhelmed or trapped in difficult situations. You may be feeling sad, depressed, isolated, lonely, confused, experiencing low self-esteem and/or suffering with anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks or depression. Or maybe you are struggling with other areas relating to relationships, family issues, work, trauma, abuse, neglect, addiction, loss or grief, health, discrimination, feeling bullied or feeling suicidal.

I am a professionally qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist informed by an accumulation of over 17 years of invaluable experience working within mental health. I have effectively worked with a diverse range of people with an array of different needs, life challenges, trauma and experiences. Working with a multitude of diagnosis and presenting needs within the NHS, UK charities, addiction services, gender specific and children and family services with both adults, young people and families. 

I work by providing you with a safe space, free from judgement focussed on only you, removing the views, opinions and judgement of others, where you can explore whatever is on your mind freely, share your thoughts and your feelings. I will support you in addressing any issues and concerns that have been affecting you in areas of your life that you may be finding difficult to process, by helping you to find greater ease in managing.

Working together on the areas that are having a significant impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing, I will work in supporting you to gain understanding and learn new coping skills to deal with the issues that may have been holding you back and placing limits on your life. And developing healthier ways to connect and communicate with others and reconnect with who you really are! working together on the areas that are having a significant impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing.

I use an integrative approach in my work, trained in person centred/humanistic, psychodynamic and CBT therapy. This gives me the freedom to be flexible and allows me to use a fusion of varied therapeutic tools and techniques to suit your individual needs.
