I hope to create a safe space in which you can speak openly with all your thoughts and feelings being contained.

​My approach is to help you unearth a better understanding of yourself and the situations you are in; to better understand why you may feel the way you feel and to enable you to grow with that new found understanding.

Psychodynamic counselling explores how our childhood and early life relationships leave an imprint on our behaviour and feelings in the present. I work with you to explore what it is going on both in the present and what occurred in your past.

Counselling is not advice giving. My role is to be actively listening, noticing and asking the right questions to unlock your conscious and unconscious ways of thinking and patterns of being, and how you therefore relate to yourself and others. Working together to get closer to a sense of your true self by understanding your past in the present.

I am BACP registered Psychodynamic Counsellor. I work out of an accessible space in Bakewell and Sheffield, I also offer online counselling.

I have worked with a real variety of people and range of issues faced by individuals these have included, but are not extensively - anxiety attacks, depression, family disputes, bereavement, life changing diagnosis, obsessional personality, disordered eating, self esteem, work place issues.

Sessions last 50 minutes and they are lead by you and what you want to talk about in that session.

Prior to my counselling training, I trained as an End of Life Doula. I use this combined knowledge and experience to go into homes and facilitate conversation. See my website for more details on this.

In the first session I will ask you more questions than a standard session - to find out what has brought you to counselling, details of your history and your current situation.

The initial session is a chance to meet and to have a sense if we are a good therapeutic fit. 

I work in private practice in Broomhill Sheffield (Monday and Wednesday) and online (Tuesday and Thursday).

I hope to create a safe space in which you can openly speak and express all your thoughts and feelings.

The initial session being an assessment enables us to see if we are a good therapeutic fit. More than one assessment session may be required. There is a charge for initial sessions at the usual rate.
