About me

I work with a variety of issues including: Anxiety, (Generalised Anxiety Disorder), Relationship Issues, Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Domestic & Sexual Violence, Low Self-Esteem, Post-Natal Depression, Bereavement, Suicidal Thoughts, Work Related Stress.

It is really important to me to help my clients understand what is happening to them, to help relieve their anguish. If we understand what is going on, we can formulate what we want to do to address things and move forward. As an integrative psychotherapist/counsellor the my approach is based in Humanistic therapies, Solution Focussed Therapy/CBT, Existential Therapy and Psychoeducation.

I help my clients to understand and come to terms with past or present events or complicated feelings and changes to their behaviour that occur as a result of their issues. I support them in being able to develop their ability to cope with the effects of these experiences and develop strategies that support positive thinking and helpful actions. We will work together within an empathic, understanding and therapeutic relationship, to empower and strengthen their emotional resilience, in order to help them make positive choices and move forward with their lives.

Masters Degree qualified, I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Appointments available between 9.15 and 17.30, Tuesday to Friday.
