Life can be challenging and can bring hardships, conflict and pain. Often people seek therapy at a moment of crisis where they want change in their lives. Psychotherapy offers the possibility for an individual to explore various aspects of their life and be listened to in a way that is rarely possible with family or friends. My experience includes working with psychiatric diagnoses, those affected by issues and symptoms of anxiety, stress, depression, bereavement, addiction, relationship issues, questions of gender and sexuality.

Together, we can work to help you understand yourself better, find ways to cope, and build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

My areas of expertise lie also in working with anxiety and panic, social anxiety, overwhelm, unresolved childhood experiences, feelings of displacement and relationship difficulties.
Maybe you suffer from depression or anxiety, are worn out with worry, struggling to cope with pressure and stress, feeling stuck and unsatisfied with your life, are overwhelmed with sadness or anger? Whatever you’re struggling with we can work together to help you create greater ease, health and joy in your life. Getting started with therapy takes a lot of courage so my goal initially is to create a warm and safe environment where you’ll feel comfortable sharing anything that troubles you.

People seek counselling/therapy for all sorts of reasons: stress or anxiety in their home or work life; difficulties in their relationships; feeling low, sad or depressed; a bereavement or major loss; a trauma experienced; panic attacks; a sense of paralysis in making life decisions; overwhelmed by angry feelings. Or maybe just a sense that something is wrong but it's hard to put a finger on exactly what. They want something to change, and need some help to explore and understand their issues better.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is anxiety leaving you exhausted, yet you're unable to sleep? Are you finding it hard to feel excited about anything right now or are you feeling stressed trying to fit everything and everyone into your free time? Perhaps things haven’t really worked out the way you hoped, and you are carrying a deep disappointment. Maybe you have lost someone or something who meant a lot to you and you are unsure how to adapt to your new circumstances. If so, I would love to support you through these struggles. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we would work together to achieve your goals for counselling.

I have dealt with various issues such as anxiety, depression (including post natal), life transitions, coercive relationships and also grief and loss.
Hi, I am very much a Person-Centred / Humanistic Counsellor who allows the client to explore their issues and find their own way forward. I believe that sometimes we just need to stop and breath and allow ourselves the space to explore what’s next for us. I understand that counselling is not a 'one size fits all' process so I work on an integrated basis with the client to explore the therapies that will work for them. I have a special interest in bereavement as I have been working with clients who have lost loved ones during the Covid-19 pandemic. My own history of loss has helped me a great deal in this area.

Anxiety Counsellors
What are the most common treatments for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
