About Me

Working within the NHS and with a variety of counselling and treatment agencies, I’ve helped many people to challenge their negative thinking, gain stronger impulse control, work through their shame and guilt and ultimately to rebalance their life. Allowing them to put less pressure on themselves and their loved ones and begin to look again at life as something to enjoy.

However, it’s not just my professional resume which allows me to help those struggling with anxiety, depression, bereavement or addictions. The varied and often challenging times in my own personal journey are the foundations upon which my abilities as a therapist are built. Whilst it is essential as therapists that we understand how every person’s journey is different, experience has taught me that to walk alongside those coping with trauma, abuse or addiction, it helps enormously if you’ve overcome challenges yourself.

I should clarify that psychotherapy is not always about dealing with complex problems. A counselling session is also an opportunity to reflect and explore new perspectives and possibilities. A safe space where you will be listened to and heard. A launch pad for a future of greater balance and contentment.

Studies have shown that as many as 85% of people felt a marked decrease in symptoms and an increased quality of life after counselling. These numbers go some way to prove what I see every day - most people begin therapy feeling bad and they leave therapy feeling better. It really is that simple.

I work in a warm, supportive, and accepting way, helping you to unlock your own resources, find new meanings and identify solutions. Get in touch and we can start moving you towards that 85%.
