Are you finding life difficult at the moment? Perhaps you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or as though you are going round in circles mentally. You may be struggling to make sense of what you are feeling, or simply need somewhere safe to talk about what is going on in your life. I offer a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing, and begin to explore what might help.
I have worked with clients that for whatever reason find themselves struggling. Often my clients want to find out who they really are and what they need, it is common for my clients to investigate who they would have become if certain situations had not happened.
I believe therapy is ultimately about being able to talk openly and honestly with another person who will listen without judgement. Taking those first steps towards getting support for yourself can feel daunting. I can’t promise that therapy will always be easy, but through my own experience of therapy, I have learnt how valuable it can be to give ourselves the time, space and safety to talk openly about what we are experiencing. Having a confidential space where we can be heard without judgement can enable us to understand ourselves more deeply.
Qualified Relational Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, UKCP registered, with a comfortable, confidential private practice in central Beverley, East Yorkshire. Before becoming a therapist, I had a career in business. Following the sale of my corporate business in 2019, a decision was made to retrain and pursue a career in psychotherapy and counselling. This career change came from a desire to develop a deeper understanding of people, relationships and the experiences that can shape how we feel and respond to life. Coming from a creative background, I am also interested in finding different ways for people to explore and express what they are experiencing. Talking is not always the easiest way to communicate everything we feel, and where appropriate, I can incorporate creative approaches into our work together.
You don't have to have everything worked out before you arrive, and you don't need to know exactly what you want from therapy. We can explore that together, at a pace that feels right for you.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
