About me and my therapy practice

Hi and thank you for visiting my profile.

My approach is human centred, compassion focused, and trauma informed. I believe that every person is shaped by their life experiences and has their own unique strengths and challenges. As such, I do not use symptom lists, diagnostic labels, or manualised treatments. If you are looking for a therapist who works in this way, I may not be the best practitioner to support your needs.

Therapy can feel daunting and confusing at first. We will begin by exploring together what brings you to therapy and creating a shared understanding of your unique life story. From here, we can begin to make connections between your history and your present difficulties, whatever they may be. My role is to empower you, offering choices and working together to plan the direction we take in therapy.

I respect and admire the courage it takes to be vulnerable with another human being and I feel honoured when someone chooses to share their story with me. I have taken this step myself a number of times in my life and know what a difficult decision it can be to reach out for support. If you choose to take this step, I look forward to meeting you.

Practice description

I work online, on the telephone and in-person from counselling rooms I hire in Newcastle City Centre NE1, Gosforth NE3 and North Shields NE30 accessible and with parking. My in person rooms are friendly warm and bright, but private spaces.

My core training is integrative and takes in elements of person centred, psychoanalytic, humanistic cognitive and transpersonal models. I use these approaches to work out what works best for you and to achieve the outcomes that you desire.
