About me

Stress,Anxiety,Abuse,Trauma,Depression,Self Esteem, Addiction,Anger.................................contact me

I am an integrative counsellor trained in Psychodynamic counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt Therapy………. based on attachment and a person-centred approach. I offer online, phone and face-to-face sessions for individuals and couples.

Neurodiverse clients, LGBTQ+and Complex Trauma

The goal of an individual therapy is to inspire change and improve the quality of life through self awareness and self exploration.

I have experience working with a wide range of issues, which specifically include neurodiversity, anxiety and depression, panic attacks, bereavement, work stress, life transitions, suicidal ideation, low self-esteem, abuse, emotional neglect, personal development, menopause, PTSD/ trauma/phobias (using Rewind technique).

I aim to provide a compassionate and empathic space to hear each person's story and to identify specific goals for therapy.

Therapy interventions will be evidence-based and tailored to each individuals needs.

I offer and integrate the following approaches into my practice: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred, Gestalt and Rewind Techniques for Trauma Therapy.

Are you feeling stuck right now? Is there an anxiety telling you that something isn't quite right in your life, something needs to change? I have experience in helping people loosen those stuck patterns. Tell me yours and we can shift them together.

I run a private practice covering the UK online.

Where I offer space to be listened too - I will listen with kindness and in total confidence.  

I also offer counselling online throughout the UK and abroad.
