Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and a warm welcome to my profile.
I’m an experienced kind, approachable Psychotherapist & Counsellor with a passion for helping people; that may be resolving a historic issue that you’ve never spoken about, working through a life change or crisis, overcoming something that is holding you back, or simply talking to someone neutral, perhaps being truly heard for the first time.
I work with compassion, kindness and importantly no judgement, regardless of the circumstances. I provide a forum to express and process emotional distress, explore approaches, treatments or options, and a plan. Importantly I aim for you to feel hopeful and supported.
I’ve worked with a wide range of mental health difficulties supporting young people and adults; these have included anxiety & depression, bereavement & loss, trauma & PTSD, dual-diagnosis, cancer recovery & diagnoses, workplace stress and life changes. I specialise in and have a passion for helping those struggling with addiction and trauma.
I use a number of proven therapeutic approaches so I have an effective ‘toolbox’ to support your unique needs and circumstances. My toolbox includes humanistic and solution-focused therapy, CBT, NLP, ACT, motivational interviewing and a range of somatic, breathing & relaxation techniques. I have a very collaborative approach with clients, working through difficulties gently at a pace that works for you.
A bit about me: my background prior to becoming a therapist was corporate so I understand some of the difficulties that come with corporate environments. I also work with substance misuse organisations, LGBTQ+ communities and with military veterans. I’m a mum to a teenager, dog mum, wife and worker, so understand the challenges of ‘life juggling’!
