About me and my therapy practice

If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, low self esteem, relationship problems with others, feeling isolated or alone, feeling never ‘good enough’ or battling with addiction this could be due to your attachment pattern. How we view ourself in relation to others and the world around us affects us in everyday life.

I am a qualified BA (hons) Integrative Counsellor with 8 years of experience both in private practice and for the NHS.

Being an integrative counsellor means I draw from different theories such as Humanistic, Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic including attachment theory and DBT skills, which enables me to tailor every session specifically for each individual.

Working with attachment helps us to discover why we feel how we do and how to change it going forward.

I offer a client-centred practice with empathy and caring. I recognise the client/therapist relationship is paramount to gaining insight, managing challenges, coping with changes and to dealing with pain. I will be there for you.

I offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Everyone is unique and we all have inner strengths and tools personal to us. It's my aim to help you uncover yours and empower you to use them. Together we can make sense of and change what's happening for you now, but also make a lasting impact on your future.

I was inspired to enter into the world of counselling after realising I was going round and round in my own life and never achieving change. I had my own personal therapy and life finally changed for me.

Our work can be either long or short term and either done virtually over a secure platform, by telephone or face to face, it's all led by you.

I appreciate how difficult that first call to a counsellor can be, so if you’d prefer, please email or text and we can arrange a free introductory call. It is fundamental that you and I feel we can work together and that you feel comfortable and safe. 

Practice description

I have 8 years of experience both in private practice and for the NHS. I have worked with people from all walks of life helping them with concerns such as anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, abuse, relationships, addictions, low mood, stress and bereavement as well as a space to explore any other worries.

I have also worked with young people in a college environment. Helping them overcome issues and barriers, finding direction and growing in confidence.

I have vast experience of working with attachment and the impact of how our childhood can effect the way we relate and form relationships as adults.

I have also supported many men facing struggles with hormone deficiency and Peyronies disease. I understand the extreme impact both of these conditions have on a man's life, identity and mental health. I have also supported men through obtaining treatment for these.

I have worked with many people who are facing the challenges brought on by peri menopause and menopause. Supporting people with the changes and struggles this brings and the different way a person may relate to those around them and also to themselves.
