Beginning counselling can feel overwhelming , so my aim is to create a safe, non-judgemental space in which you can feel secure, supported and understood. During our work together, we will explore and process the difficulties you are experiencing. We are all affected by life’s journey and often have deep-rooted, painful issues that can prevent us from reaching our potential and establishing and maintaining healthy relationships. I work with clients presenting with a broad range of issues including bereavement, trauma, abuse, trauma, self-esteem, depression, relationships, stress, bereavement, health-related problems and work issues.

All sorts of things bring us to counselling and psychotherapy. Sometimes it’s a life event or transition that feels overwhelming. Sometimes it’s that we find ourselves struggling in relationships, or troubled by our thoughts, feelings or behaviour. Sometimes we are having to cope with an environment that devalues or rejects some aspect of our identity, or we just feel deep down that our lives could be lived more fully. In many cases, we arrive in therapy already knowing what we want help with; in others, this is what we come to find out.

I work predominantly with individual's who are struggling with their emotions, being unable to identify and locate the troublesome experiences that may follow, whether that be in relationships or certain problematic behaviours that may have felt to become automatic and normal (i.e. drug and alcohol issues, self-harm and/or other compulsive behaviours).

I am someone who cares about the well-being of others which led me to qualify as a BACP Accredited Person-Centred Counsellor. My counselling method is built on person-centred counselling plus adapting to the clients’ needs and creating a unique style for each client. We tend to place such a focus and emphasis on our physical health, whether through dietary or physical exercise but can easily neglect our mental health. Our mental health is just as important as it is a part of what makes us who we are. We all deserve to have a healthy well-being and I believe that counselling is a method to which this can be achieved.

Infertility impacts 1 in 6 couples, it is life changing and isolating. Losing a baby is devastating, no matter how far along. The fear of never achieving parenthood, ever-present. Childlessness is a grief few understand and yet 1 in 5 women remain childless, the large majority, involuntarily. Wondering if / when, to change direction, to continue pursuing parenthood or not, can leave you feeling overwhelmed. I am a psychotherapist, supporting women and men who are struggling with pregnancy loss; infertility; IVF, potentially using Donor Eggs; Sperm or Embryos as well as childlessness and associated secondary losses.

Life can feel complicated at times. Therapy can be helpful in providing a trusting and consistence space in which you can begin to make sense of thoughts and feelings. Art is a a thought provoking and safe tool that can bring awareness to those hidden parts of ourselves that we may find hard to recognise. Art can also help us to express those feelings which can be harder to share. I work collaboratively with people in order from them to better understand themselves, regain autonomy, enhance confidence and work towards creating awareness and fulfilment in their life and relationships.

You might be struggling with your personal relationships or a situation in your life; maybe you lost someone; maybe the one you struggle with is yourself. In any way, life can get challenging sometimes. I work individually with people over 18 years old who find themselves wanting to work through these difficulties to achieve change in their lives. This change might take many forms: from learning to manage your anxiety, ending a relationship or starting a new one, grieving a loss, finding your voice, to wanting to feel a greater sense of peace and happiness in your life.

Maybe you are at a point where you wish to understand yourself and your reactions to difficult life events such as trauma, discrimination , loss or illness. Perhaps you are wanting to develop a better relationship with yourself and would like more respect and reciprocity in your relationships with others but feel unsure how you might put this into place? Healing and growth can both exciting and scary. But if you are open to learning from setbacks and making helpful changes, then progress is possible.
