Therapy is for everybody:  I offer my counselling services to all adults (women, men, LGBT+ or straight) who are struggling to be understood and feel they need to be heard.  I strive to provide a safe place for each person I work with, where there can be no judgement and complete confidentiality. 

 

I am an integrative therapist, meaning that I use information and knowledge from various schools of thought, in order to find a unique way for the client to find their way to a greater sense of contentment and calm within their lives – Are there specific things you want to talk about, or are you just feeling anxious or sad, without knowing exactly why? 

 

We might examine your personal history and past relationships to see what internalised/learnt behaviours may be counter-productive to your well-being, or we might think about how you find meaning in your life: Does life seem to offer you less than you would like it to? What are the things that could give you a sense of fulfilment?  We can explore the various aspects of your life and reality in order to seek a narrative that allows you to see what can be changed, for you to get closer to your personal, emotional and practical goals

 

Anxiety and low mood (depression) can have various causes, but along with the way our personal history has shaped our mindset and outlook, I have particular experience and expertise with issues of bereavement and grief, the problems caused by chronic illness and disability, as well as thoughts around our identity, within various types of group (work, society/culture, friends etc.)

I offer discounts and some limited cost-free slots for NHS/Key workers.
