My Approach

My style is warm, non-judgemental, creative and hopeful. I am an experienced UKCP Accredited psychotherapist offering face to face and online sessions from my beautiful therapy room in the Ouseburn.

I am an integrative, relational, humanist psychotherapist with core training in Transactional Analysis. I use my skills and experience to tailor a therapeutic approach that suits you and your needs, to help you reach your goals.

I am a naturally creative therapist and I am able to offer a range of techniques to support therapeutic exploration and change. This can include the use of story and metaphor, sand tray, guided imagery, dream work, drawing, painting, clay, body work, mindfulness and relaxation.

Above all I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship in which I invest myself professionally, genuinely, emotionally and lovingly.


Experience

Before training to become a psychotherapist I was an artist and arts educator.  I worked creatively with people from vulnerable and hard to reach communities, enabling them to have their voices heard and their stories told through the creation of artwork.  This experience fuelled my desire to help people on a deeper level and so I began my training to become a psychotherapist.  I completed my qualification in Adult Integrative Psychotherapy at the Northern Guild for Psychotherapy in 2020.  

I began my practice as a therapist at the Northern Guild for Psychotherapy where I worked with a range of people both long and short term.  I also gained several years experience providing training therapy to trainee counsellors and psychotherapists.  In 2022 I set up my own therapy practice in the Ouseburn. 

I have personal experience of the transformation that is possible through a positive, healing relationship with a therapist.  I know how difficult it can be to struggle and to seek help, but I also know that change is possible.  Therefore, I am a therapist with a deep belief in the ability of human beings to heal and flourish given the right support and a nurturing connection with another human being.  I have worked as a therapist since 2016 so have witnessed many positive, healing, transformative changes in my clients.


Location

I work from my beautiful and comfortable therapy room in an old school in the Ouseburn in Newcastle upon Tyne. The building and my room is accessible to all and has free parking so easy to visit.

With views of the trees out of the tall arch window, you can hear and see nature change and grow through the seasons as you go through your own therapeutic journey of change.

Booking in

The relationship with your therapist is key in this healing process so it is important to find a therapist who you feel comfortable with, and that you feel you can relate to.  I offer a free initial Zoom or telephone call so you can meet me and we can see if we feel like a good match.

After that if you would like to go ahead with therapy you can book in session by session to take it slowly and see if it is right for you. We can work ongoing until you feel ready to end therapy, or we can commit to a particular length of time depending on your availability and financial situation. Just let me know what you are wanting from therapy and I can tailor an approach that will suit your needs.

Sessions are £70 each and last for 50 minutes. 

I can see you face to face in my therapy room in The Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne. I also work with clients online if that suits you better.

If you feel like I might be the right therapist for you, please get in touch and ask me any questions you might have.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Please ask to find out availability.

About Me

Do you feel stuck in old patterns; repeating thoughts and behaviours that aren’t serving you?  Do you have frequent bursts of anger, sadness clouding everything, anxiety in your chest, a general sense of unhappiness, feeling lost, stuck or not sure how to move forward? Therapy can really help.

With over ten years of experience I can help you work out where these patterns come from, and what these feelings mean, allowing you to build empathy and understanding for yourself.  We can work together to build up new coping strategies, increase emotional intelligence and build internal resilience. This not only provides relief but opens up the space and freedom to choose new more helpful ways of being in your life.
​
I have seen many clients have positive and lasting transformations in their lives which has resulted in deeper more fulfilling relationships and increased happiness, satisfaction and harmony in their lives.

Psychotherapy is different to counselling with a much higher level of qualification, skill and experience.  I work at depth with my clients and offer a much greater chance of long term positive change. ​​​
