About me
What type of issues can I expect help for?
If you are experiencing difficulty, getting a better understanding of what's happening is the first step:
Struggling with anxiety, depression or relationship issues, ADHD, burnout or over-thinking? Or past experiences, which still affect you; such as childhood trauma, adversity or abuse. Maybe you struggle with emotional regulation. Perhaps it's making you feel alone or different to others, or preventing you from reaching your full potential, robbing you of life’s pleasure and joys.
Therapy is an opportunity to identify what you need and create change and benefits. You can bring the quality back to your life again.
Services:
Counselling and Psychology is a complimentary approach; helping you to understand the ways you think, feel and behave. Counselling enables you to make sense of your difficulties and psychology provides an internal perspective of these, giving you a two way lens to explore what’s happening for you.
Understanding the how and why of the difficulty:
To assist your development, I am able to offer appropriate psycho education so you can better understand your own patterns. By understanding what's going on behind the scenes, we become more able to make real choices and implement sustainable change.
You can begin to set realistic goals about the kind of future you want. You may be surprised how quickly you can get things off the ground! By recognising and understanding what’s going on, you can be less fearful and feel more in control.
Purposing an evidenced based approaches & strategies which help to identify the factors which maintain the problems, we can step out of difficulty, creating new ways to tackle the stressful stuff we have to cope with, navigating our lives with confidence.
Therapy can also help us to recover from past difficulties, which may have left us with responses which play out in the here and now. By exploring these experiences, we're able to consolidate past difficulty; creating stability and balance. Bringing more of the joys we're looking for, living more fully in the moment and able to look forward to a future we want.
Immediate intervention for anxiety and or low mood.
* I also provide short term intervention as a six session block of sessions for people who are struggling with anxiety or depression which is overwhelming and contributing to a lack of functioning. These issues at this level can be frightening for the individual.
This course helps to establish stability and develop an ability to function and regain control. There is then the option to continue on with regular sessions going forward if desired. The course covers self help, understanding the physiological dimension and creating cognitive changes and development. All interventions are uniquely tailored to meet individual need. *
About me:
I'm well positioned to to assist you in reaching your desired outcomes; My expertise comes from robust clinical practice, and training, and my ability to identify root causes and so create the best fit and match for you.
These approaches may be to address habits, mood, regulation, historical experience, issues with processing. Without making assumptions about your experiences.
Good therapy means tailored strategies; what works well for one person, may not work so well for another. My style is warm, open and collaborative and achieving your outcome is important to me.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
