I provide therapy which is accepting and supportive to enable you to safely and creatively explore what it is you are struggling with. We can all become stuck or disconnected at times. Therapy can help us slow down for a moment, feel safe enough to re-connect with ourselves. It is then possible to reflect and discover what it is our bodies are telling us we need to move towards change or to feel freer in ourselves.
I provide short, medium, long-term and open-ended therapy to adults (including face to face, online zoom video, or telephone counselling).
I have experience of supporting people with:
- Relationship difficulties (including family, romantic partners and work)
Grief and coping with change
- Trauma
- Suicidal thoughts
- Issues of identity (particularly around sexuality, gender presentation and disability)
- Loneliness and disconnection
- Anxiety and depression
I am an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, with over ten years experience supporting individuals privately and in the voluntary sector.
Building a good connection is an integral part of how I work. Within a trusted and secure connection it becomes possible to take a look at and be with the less comfortable sides of ourselves.
I know well the feeling of being ‘othered’ and feeling different. This has led me to take a sensitive and curious approach to therapy. This means that I take time to get to know what you need to feel heard and safe. I think it is because of this I work well with people who are neurodiverse and/or those who have experience of generally being on the ‘outside’.
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.
