Supporting you through anxiety, trauma, loss, and life’s relational challenges.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in patterns you can’t explain, or burdened by past experiences? Whether you’re facing trauma, grief, low self-esteem, or relationship stress, therapy can help you move toward clarity, self-acceptance, and healing.
I offer a safe, warm and non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s holding you back. As we work together, I’ll be curious but respectful, supportive yet gently challenging, helping you understand yourself, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of agency.
My Approach
I’m a qualified Integrative Counsellor drawing from Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, and skills-based therapies. This allows me to tailor each session to your unique needs, whether you’re working through:
- Anxiety & depression
- Trauma & abuse
- Relationship & attachment issues
- Self-esteem challenges
- Grief, loss & life transitions
I believe you are the expert of your own life. You set the goals; I walk alongside you. Therapy is your space to reflect, grow, and make new choices that support your wellbeing, both now and in the future.
As a former secondary school science teacher with 30+ years of experience, I understand the unique pressures young people face. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, offering a compassionate, collaborative relationship where true healing can begin.
What You Can Expect:
- A therapeutic space tailored to your relational and emotional needs
- Support in building self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-esteem
- Strengthening of autonomy and healthier relationship patterns
- Deep exploration that fosters both present and future healing
Flexible Therapy Options:
- Short-term, long-term or time-limited sessions
- Available online, by phone, or in-person
You don’t have to carry it all alone. I invite you into a nourishing therapeutic relationship, one where you can explore, repair, and rediscover your path to wholeness.
As an integrative counsellor, I work relationally using a psychodynamic-humanistic model – so within our developing relationship we explore the ‘back then’ to understand how the past affects your present life in the moment and ‘out there’ in the world. This may help you to view your issues differently and help you make new choices allowing you to feel better about yourself.
I have experience working with people of different ethnicities, cultures, faiths, disabilities, genders and age. I work with issues such as general anxiety disorder, stress, low self-esteem, shame, adverse childhood events, abandonment, loss, bereavement and relationship issues. I am a qualified teacher of 30+ years’ experience and have worked extensively identifying safeguarding issues within schools. My experience also covers domestic violence using trauma focused counselling.
The work that I do is regularly supervised to ensure the highest standard of care. I offer sessions in-person, online or over the telephone and would be pleased to hear from you if you are interested in making contact.
Sessions are £55. Concessionary rates are available for students. Flexible hours are available.
I look forward to hearing from you.
