My Approach

I offer a safe non-judgemental space tailored to you and your relationships, life experience, history and issues you’d like to talk about. I offer this therapy from the foundation of my personal values of integrity, respect, kindness, fairness and trustworthiness.
I meet each person with the belief that we are all different although we might have common desires: a wish to belong, to connect with others, to feel valued, to be seen, to be heard and that we have a responsibility to ourselves as well as towards others and the world around us.

During therapy we would talk about what’s happening in your life now, what happened in the past, your childhood, your thoughts and feelings around these subjects, and your hopes for the future.

The direction of the conversation would depend upon your specific needs. There might be things you haven’t talked about before and I would offer you a space where you feel safe enough to discuss what’s on your mind and to say what might feel unsayable but important. Sometimes you might not be able to find the words so we’d take time to explore what you’re grappling with.

I will support you to gain insight into recurring patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour which are unhelpful. Therapy will help you learn more about these patterns and so you see you have choices to make changes in order to live your life differently.

We might talk about coping strategies and techniques, such as grounding techniques and breathing exercises to support your emotional regulation and calm your nervous system. Additionally, we might check in with any bodily sensations or feelings you have to understand yourself more holistically, if you feel comfortable with this approach.

I don’t tell you what to do but I invite you to be curious about yourself and to see new perspectives so you can make authentic choices.

  • Individuals

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.

Many people find themselves navigating changes throughout life. That may be marriage, new parenthood, empty nest syndrome, divorce, mid-life, ageing or retirement. You might be thinking: - “I don’t recognise myself now I’m a mother. Is this normal?” “Why do I feel so overwhelmed the whole time?” How will I cope? “I’m frightened I’m going to behave like my mother/father.” “I feel frightened about getting older and I don’t know how to manage this and who I am anymore”
You might experience generalised anxiety disorder or health anxiety. You might want support to manage persistent thoughts and worry that feel overwhelming, and physical symptoms such as feeling you’re breathing is shallow and you feel panicky or faint. You might find yourself thinking: “Why do I feel panicky right now as nothing in particular has happened?” “How do I stop myself thinking the worse is happening?” “What can I do to support myself when I start to feel like this?” “Why do I suffer from hangxiety?”
Coping with bereavement, lost opportunities, loss of a relationship, a pet, loss of good health, persistent low mood or depression, and self-doubt. You might ask yourself: “Is it ok to feel so angry this has happened to me?” “I still feel so lonely and sad and I don’t know how to cope.” “Why do I feel so empty?” “I wish I’d behaved differently. How do I manage these feelings of guilt?
It is challenging when we experience recurring relationship patterns; communication and relationship break down, feeling unappreciated and not listened to, a lack of intimacy, or managing difficult family and workplace dynamics, issues when dating and looking for love, You might be asking yourself:- “Why doesn’t anyone love me, am I choosing the wrong people?” “I don’t know why we always argue?” “I’m wondering about my attachment style, why is it always my fault?” “Why do I always ignore the red flags?” “Why does my sister/brother still treat me like I’m a child?” “I feel so guilty. Can our relationship recover from the affair?”
You might spend a lot of time and energy on your work, striving for success, recognition, or promotion. However, you’re experiencing burnout, challenges in managing corporate pressure, stress, imposter syndrome, issues around perfectionism and boundary setting. It might be difficult to find the right work-life balance. You might find yourself asking:- “When will they realise I don’t know what I’m doing?” “How can I be successful and say still say no?” “I work so hard and it still doesn’t work out for me. What can I do” “Everyone thinks I can cope and I don’t know how to talk to my partner about how stressed I feel.”
