Special Interests

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.

Anxiety can feel like a constant state of alert, with worries about the future or a sense of unease that impacts daily life, relationships, and physical well-being. My approach moves beyond simply managing symptoms to understanding and addressing the underlying roots of your anxiety. I work holistically to help you calm your nervous system, transform your relationship with anxious thoughts and feelings, and cultivate lasting inner peace. We will collaborate to build a personalised toolkit that empowers you in the moment and fosters deeper resilience. Our work may integrate techniques such as: · Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to identify, safely experience, and transform the core emotions and unmet needs that fuel anxiety. · Dreamwork to explore unconscious fears and messages, providing insights that can reduce anxiety’s intangible grip. · Grounding Practices & Guided Visualisations to anchor you in the present moment, interrupt cycles of worry, and actively create inner states of calm and safety. · Clinical Hypnotherapy to access a relaxed state where we can reframe anxious thought patterns, strengthen coping resources, and instil a profound sense of calm at a subconscious level. Together, we will work towards reducing the intensity and frequency of anxiety, helping you regain a sense of control, presence, and confidence in your life.
Depression often manifests as more than just sadness; it can be a pervasive sense of heaviness, loss of energy, interest, and connection to oneself and life. My approach to working with depression is compassionate and integrative, focusing on rekindling your inner spark and addressing the underlying emotional, cognitive, and spiritual layers that contribute to this state. I view depression not as a sign of weakness, but as a signal that something in your life or internal world needs attention and care. Our work together aims to gently explore the roots of your low mood, process stuck emotions, and help you rebuild a sense of hope, meaning, and vitality. The therapeutic process may incorporate: · Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to safely access and transform the core painful emotions—such as grief, shame, or loneliness—that often underpin depression, facilitating emotional release and new understanding. · Dreamwork & Unconscious Exploration to connect with parts of yourself that may feel lost or silenced, uncovering insights and symbolic pathways towards healing and re-integration. · Mindfulness & Grounding Practices to help you gently reconnect with your body and the present moment, countering feelings of numbness or disconnection, and cultivating self-compassion. · Clinical Hypnotherapy & Guided Visualisation to access a state of deep relaxation where we can nurture your inner resources, challenge negative self-narratives, and actively seed new, hopeful imagery and beliefs. Together, we will work towards alleviating the weight of depression, helping you rediscover your strengths, restore your energy for living, and move towards a renewed sense of purpose and engagement with life.
I offer professional and effective therapy sessions through secure online video platforms, making profound psychological support accessible regardless of your location. Online counselling provides a flexible and convenient way to engage in deep therapeutic work from the comfort and privacy of your own safe space. My approach to online therapy maintains the same core principles as in-person sessions: creating a confidential, empathetic, and collaborative container for healing. I am experienced in building strong, trusting therapeutic relationships remotely, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout our work together. How we can work together online: · Accessible & Consistent Support: Overcome geographical or mobility barriers and maintain the consistency of your therapeutic journey, which is crucial for growth and healing. · A Secure & Private Environment: Sessions are conducted via encrypted, confidential platforms to ensure your privacy is protected. We will also collaborate to create a physically and emotionally private space for you at home. · Holistic Techniques Adapted for Online Work: I seamlessly integrate my core modalities into the online format. This may includes: · Conducting Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and exploratory talk therapy. · Guiding you through grounding exercises, visualisations, and mindfulness meditations. · Utilising Clinical Hypnotherapy effectively through audio guidance and screen sharing. · Exploring and interpreting material from Dreamwork and the imagination. · Focus on Your Convenience: This format saves travel time, fits more easily into busy schedules, and allows you to integrate insights directly into your daily environment. Online counselling is a powerful modality for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and personal development. In our initial conversation, we can explore if it is the right fit for your current needs and goals.
A phobia is more than a simple fear; it is an intense, often debilitating anxiety response to a specific object, situation, or activity. This reaction can feel automatic and overwhelming, leading to avoidance behaviours that significantly restrict one’s freedom and quality of life. My approach to treating phobias is holistic and gentle, focusing on desensitising the fear response while also exploring and addressing any underlying roots or symbolic meanings the phobia may hold. The goal is not only to reduce the immediate anxiety but to empower you to reclaim a sense of safety and freedom in your world. Working together, we will build a personalised plan that respects your pace, combining direct intervention with deeper exploration. This may include: · Gentle Exposure & Reprocessing: Using a supportive and gradual approach, we will carefully and safely work with the fear, helping your nervous system learn new, calmer responses. · Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): To identify and process any core emotions or past experiences that may be linked to the development or maintenance of the phobic response. · Clinical Hypnotherapy & Visualisation: To access the subconscious mind—where the conditioned fear response often resides—and install new, positive associations and coping resources in a deeply relaxed state. · Dreamwork & Symbolic Exploration: If relevant, to understand if the feared object or situation carries a deeper symbolic meaning in your inner world, facilitating integration and insight. · Grounding & Somatic Techniques: To provide you with practical tools for managing anxiety in the moment, fostering a sense of safety and control in your body. The therapeutic journey aims to dissolve the power the phobia holds over you, allowing you to engage with life more fully and freely, without the constraints of avoidance.
I offer a safe and deeply compassionate space for processing and healing from trauma. My approach is holistic and integrative, recognizing that trauma impacts the mind, body, and spirit as a whole. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I work collaboratively with you to gently address traumatic memories and their present-day effects, utilizing a toolkit of evidence-based and somatic techniques tailored to your unique needs and pace. This may include: · Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to safely access, process, and transform the painful emotions tied to traumatic experiences. · Dreamwork to explore messages from the unconscious mind, which often holds and communicates trauma in symbolic form, fostering integration and insight. · Grounding & Stabilisation Techniques, including guided meditations, to help you manage distress, feel safe in the present moment, and build a foundation of emotional regulation. · Clinical Hypnotherapy & Gentle Visualisation to access inner resources, reframe narratives in a state of deep relaxation, and facilitate healing at a subconscious level. The goal is not just to reduce symptoms, but to support you in reclaiming a sense of safety, wholeness, and empowerment in your life.
