About me
Welcome, how is everything going for you today? Are you searching for some support, and feeling overwhelmed. Hopefully the information I have provided below will help. In a nutshell, the therapy I offer means we work together, at your pace, to explore and consider the outcomes you feel will support you in making the choices or changes you believe will benefit you going forward. It's your space to talk, consider and explore whatever you want to.
Working with clients who feel overwhelmed, confused, conflicted or unhappy about who they are, is an area of therapy I am drawn to. Whether as a result of who you are; life choice; change in circumstances; moving into a new life stage; perceptions by others; or unresolved events from your past, this can feel an isolating, anxiety- inducing, unsettling and distressing time/ It may also feel difficult to stop feeling negatively about yourself, or feeling you're to blame. I get it, I really do, as I've personally experienced this in my life. The therapy I offer is a non-judgemental space for you to explore your inner thoughts, worries, or blocks that are making life difficult to cope with. A place you can be accepted for who you are.
I support people experiencing differing reasons for seeking therapy. These have included anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, abuse, identity issues, and relationship conflicts. A core element of my work is supporting people with the personal impact and difficulties experienced as a result of their neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism, ASD), sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), gender (gender-affirming), race, ethnicity, body size or religious belief. All clients are offered acceptance and support, never judgment or prejudice.
Sessions
Sessions can be in person in my therapy space, based in Nottingham, or if more convenient for your needs remotely via zoom or phone. I have experience working short-term (6-8 sessions) and open-ended longer basis. We can explore what you feel is most suitable for you during our 20-minute introduction chat (there is no fee for this). Following sessions will be charged at £55 and last 50 minutes.
I believe you are the person who knows yourself best, and you will be the focus of our sessions. In the initial session I will carry out an assessment of what has brought you to therapy, plus explore what you wish to achieve by attending.
