About me

I'm an accredited and experienced therapist with over 10 years experience. I work with adults aged 18+ and I offer in-person sessions in Stafford and by video across the whole of the UK, as well as internationally.

My experience is wide, and I have worked as a counsellor in a variety of mental health settings including the NHS, a local hospice, a sexual violence charity and alcohol / drug support services.

The experience you bring to our counselling sessions is unique, and I welcome all kinds of people in my practice - my commitment is to see you for who you are and support you to flourish in the way you choose. I am neurodivergent-informed and also work in a trauma-informed way, if this is something we decide would be helpful.

I'll support you in making real and lasting change in your life using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - one of the most modern therapy types and proven to be one of the most successful - and other approaches - so that you feel able to flourish in your life.

Our confidential work will give you insight and self-understanding to help you feel more at peace with your past and more in control of your present and future.

Here are some broad areas I work with:

- Untangling what's going on and bringing more clarity to your current situation.
- Helping manage strong, distressful, overwhelming or unhelpful thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing. This includes emotional first-aid techniques.
- Identifying what drives you and how to make your life and relationships work better for you.
- Changing behaviour you feel has become unhelpful or problematic for you.
- Undoing self criticism and enhancing self care
- Navigating grief or other losses and life crises.

Our work will be tailored to you as an individual. For example, some clients prefer a practical approach with more techniques and tools to take away, while others get more out of simply talking through and exploring what's going on for them. Many clients like a combination of both, and this can change at different stages of our work.
