About me

I am an accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 20 years experience of working with clients, with a range of psychological and emotional issues affecting their mental health and wellbeing. This experience has been gained in the NHS, private practice and in a local low cost counselling service.

I am provide a safe, non judgemental, confidential space for to you to talk freely, be heard and valued for being you.

I recognise that accessing help can in itself feel scary; I am here to help and genuinely want to help you overcome any difficulties you may have and grow in your awareness of yourself and maximise your wellbeing.

I work with adults who may been experiencing a range of emotional and behavioural problems eg anxiety, depression, OCD, BDD, low self esteem, addictive behaviour or feeling sad. These problems are often associated with trauma or eating disorders, which is an area of specific interest to me.

I offer an integrative therapeutic approach to counselling, which draws on my training, experience and skills of Transactional Analysis psychotherapy, which incorporates skills from my CBT training.

I practice Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and I am a member of the EMDR Association UK. EMDR is recognised as being particularly helpful in treating trauma and is a NICE recommended treatment for trauma. I also uterlise skills from my training in embodiment practice.

I offer either short, or longer term counselling/therapy with young people 16+ and adults, working collaboratively to identify the areas that are troubling or worrying you, agreeing the areas you wish to focus in your sessions.

Using a variety of skilled therapeutic interventions, I aim to help you to develop ways for you to view yourself, the world and others in ways which are more helpful to you; and move forward with your life in way that offers you more opportunity to be spontaneous, and awareness and intimacy.

Areas of interest

I have experience with clients in a wide range of areas including Trauma; abuse; PTSD; sexual abuse; emotional abuse; anxiety and depression; panic attacks; health anxiety; bereavement; boarding school syndrome; bullying; burnout; chronic illness; neurodiversity; feeling sad; loneliness; affairs and betrayals; LGBTQ issues.

I have undertaken specific training to develop my skills and knowledge of body dysmorphia disorder, and its overlap with eating disorder so would welcome clients who may have concerns body image.

Being a nurse and a counsellor/psychotherapist I believe is an added skill set and knowledge base which I can offer clients; and helps with bring an holistic approach to the therapy session linking physical and mental health. Clients, have repeated reported that they found this helpful.
