Welcome to My Profile!

With over 25 years of experience empowering individuals, I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist trained in Attachment Psychotherapy. My foundation is in Person-Centred Counselling, and I use an eclectic approach, incorporating Trauma-Informed Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, CBT, Gestalt Therapy, NLP, and Transactional Analysis.

My specialisms include:

- Attachment and interpersonal relationships

- Neurodiversity (as someone with ADHD myself)

- Oncology support

- Trauma recovery, including survivors of all forms of abuse, including  narcissistic and emotional abuse

I’m passionate about fostering equality and creating safe, inclusive spaces. Let’s connect to explore how I can support you!

I have worked for many years in senior management roles within the social care industry and have worked as a lecturer of counselling, a professional change agent, and trouble-shooter not only to facilitate personal change with individuals but also on a corporate level, transforming failing social care services to bring them to surpass the required standard in a matter of months. In addition to this, I have managed a secure forensic unit providing me with insight into the mind and motives of offenders and, at the other end of the spectrum, have worked with those who have experienced rape and sexual abuse. I offer one-to-one counselling and psychotherapy as well as life and career coaching. My services can be provided face-to-face via telephone or online.

Alongside individual client work, my team and I at Wynyard Therapy & Life Coaching Services provide tailored mental health and well-being solutions for small to medium businesses. Our services include Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), critical incident debriefing, and triage assessments. We offer free workshops for managers to help them support staff effectively, as well as counselling and coaching tailored to diverse needs, such as neurodiversity, trauma, oncology, and workplace mediation. Our flexible approach includes face-to-face, online, and telephone options, ensuring businesses can meet their teams’ unique needs promptly and compassionately. 

Before we begin working together, there are two ways to get started. If you prefer a more detailed approach, you can book a MindPath Assessment, which incurs an additional fee. (check out my website for more details) Alternatively, if you're ready to dive straight in, I offer a free phone chat to discuss how I work and to explore what you're seeking support with. This is also a chance for you to ask questions. After the chat, you can book a session or take some time to reflect. You can also book directly via Whatsapp  (0330 043 4413) or email if you’re ready to begin.

At our first session, I'll take the time to get to know your story and help you identify any goals you may have for therapy if you don't already have them in mind. This is a collaborative process, and together we'll explore the best path forward to support your needs. Whether you’re looking for specific outcomes or general guidance, we’ll work together to ensure our time is focused on what matters most to you.

I have delivered a wide range of training and CPD sessions across various sectors, including topics such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Trauma-Informed Teaching, Safeguarding Children and Adults, and Autism Awareness. As a qualified teacher with many years of experience, I have taught social care and education staff at different levels, including delivering BTEC and HND qualifications. My training is tailored to meet the needs of diverse audiences, ensuring relevance and practical application for all participants.

I can devise and deliver a wide range of social care, mental health, disability and counselling topics. I can devise bespoke courses for needs. 

I offer a free consultation for you to specify your training needs. In this session we will decide on the learning outcomes to be achieved I will then provide you with a quote for the total cost of the work agreed.
