About me:

I am a counsellor and a psychotherapist, which means I am equipped to draw on a wide range of theories to deliver a quality talking therapy experience. Helping people is at the heart of my work, motivating me to deliver an effective and compassionate service. Everything I have learnt from over 13 years in the profession, I bring to what I do now. I continue to be endlessly curious about life, what makes people tick and the unique ways in which individuals overcome adversity.

Research interests

Talking therapy can help with:

Anxiety, stress, panic
Low mood, depression, lack of motivation
Low self-esteem, low confidence
Coping with life circumstance changes
Moving on from traumatic events
Relationships
Bereavement, loss, grief
School/work anxiety, pressure, perfectionism, overwhelm

Some people arrive feeling overwhelmed, having tried everything they can think of. Others use the sessions as a creative space to explore thoughts and emotions. Some people come because they find themselves unable to let go of past experience. I am wondering what brings you here?... Shall we explore it together?

Personal interests

Counselling/Psychotherapy for young people age 12-19 years:

Young people can struggle to cope with overwhelming emotions and circumstances leading to unhappy coping mechanisms that negatively impact them and the whole family. Talking therapy can really help. A young person might want to be accompanied by a parent to their first appointment, after that the sessions are just for them.

Courses offered to GPs

My practice:

I offer therapy sessions via video call, telephone, or face-to-face, depending on your individual preferences. In-person sessions take place in comfortable, premises located in the heart of Wetherby, West Yorkshire.

Each session lasts 50 minutes and can be arranged on a short-term or long-term basis to best support your personal goals and circumstances
